Yes, plutonium is at Cold War levels, but big picture here, you can do this, there are other rational explanations as well. And no, we are not going to get a cloud full of hot particles across the pacific in two to three days, at least not on modern day Earth.
And how do you explain the Atlantic?
You keep telling people that there is science here. Indeed there is, wasting disease among star fish is not something new. If it was, you'd have a point to draw a direct line to the accident. The best you could do, and I do not see you doing the research, is a very indirect link. This would require the testing of wasting star fish for hot particles. So until them, I am left with Occam's razor here. Wasting disease has a well known explanation, it is not new.
And the article you keep pointing to that we will have a cloud in NA is unrelenting and impossible bullshit on the surface of the current Earth we live on. The wind speeds implied in that are not compatible with current life systems on the surface of the planet. Hurricane speeds does not begin to describe it.
Why that article is not just BS, but a disservice and you should stop quoting it. And I will not go into who is the originator of this one. Suffice it to say his scientific credentials are non whatsoever. It be best to stop spreading that shit.
