BTW, anyone reading this who has to hide porn from the So, should sit down and talk to there So about it, right now. Make a decision, either get comfortable watching it, or decide not to watch it.

I do wank as much as I want and nobody needs to know anything about it, wife included. She's not interested in it anyway, no more than she's interested in the stench of my shit. I'm perfectly comfortable with it. May I humbly suggest that you and your likes go fuck yourselves?

Anti-nuclear hysteria and subsequent heavy regulation

You seem to imply they were unwarranted, which the article you cite does not corroborate. "Several nuclear related accidents and cover-ups" do in fact perfectly justify public suspicion (which you call hysteria) and stricter regulation, even if this implies additional costs. This is not specific to the nuclear industry.

Japan discontinued a bunch of new nuclear construction projects from the late 90s to early 00s. Fukushima's lifespan was subsequently extended. I'd say there's a definite cause and effect here.

And where does it say that this was because of anti-nuclear activism? Looks to me this could very well and in fact much more plausibly due to simple financial reasons.

Most of the radioactive part is U-238, which is barely more radioactive than your typical rock (half life 4/4 Billion years).

This argument is misleading at best since toxicity of radioactive elements is incomparable depending on whether the exposure is internal or external. External typical rock radioactivity is probably negligible. Internal exposure of aerosoled U238 is markedly more dangerous.
