The widespread construction of well insulated and sealed homes in the northern industrialized world has led to radon becoming the primary source of background radiation in some localities in northern North America and Europe. Some of these areas, including Cornwall and Aberdeenshire in the United Kingdom have high enough natural radiation levels that nuclear licensed sites cannot be built there — the sites would already exceed legal radiation limits before they opened, and the natural topsoil and rock would all have to be disposed of as low-level nuclear waste.

That to me does not auger well for the rest of us.
Take for example the recent shitstorm over the oilspill in the Gulf of Mexico.
The Americans are screaming blur murder and demanding compensation left right and centre.
Myself, I think they should be compensated in the same way as they compensated Bhopal when an American firm screwed up, killing loads of Indians.
Mind you, given the yanks' genocidal attitudes towards indians in the past, mabe the survivors of Bhopal should consider themselves lucky they got off so lightly.
Do you still wonder why I wouldn't trust the US government an inch?
