"There's No Such Thing As A Non-Harmful Level"

That's the standard mantra of anti-nukes in regards to radiation and it's repeated in this Thom Hartmann show segment (video below the fold).  Of course, all they do is play on the words "harmful" or "safe".  They intentionally confuse absolute harm/safe with relative harm/safe. 

The radioactivity measured by the USGS was safe relatively speaking (relative to all the risks we happily undertake everyday like the risks of driving, eating, having sex, etc.).  It was not safe absolutely speaking.  There is a very, very small risk of cancer (just like there is a small risk of accident when driving, choking or food poisoning when eating, or sexually transmitted disease or heart attack while having sex).

And then there's the undocumented "thousands" of dead from Chernobyl.  Ridiculous.

And then there's the "Tokyo Electric has even admitted...".  No they've related what they've learned as time goes on.  That's not an admission, like admitting a lie or wrongdoing.  It's just communication.
