Cindy Folks of Beyond Nuclear who thinks it's engineers and physicists who study the health risks of radiation (it's mostly epidemiologists and molecular biologists). She thinks the blood of the people around Fukushima should be tested for chromosome damage, but the test is only sensitive to doses around 100 mGy. Since the highest doses that people got are about 1/2 of that value (see WHO report, right hand side of this webpage), and most much less than that, such tests would be a waste.
Show host Stephanie Fraser for having these guests on and compares decontamination to repeatedly cleaning her house. She thinks radiation is dangerous but then criticizes when some waste is shipped from her state to another.
Kimberly Roberson author of Silence Deafening - Fukushima Fallout. As if the Fukushima fallout will have any significant health effects in the U.S. (it hasn't and won't). But she can avoid her fish oil if she wants to, it'll save her some money.
