Yea...not to mention by the time you get done with a MARSSIM/FSS and subsequent license release the assumptions were so ridiculously conservative to begin with.

Like "you are going to live there for the rest of your life as a farmer growing 100% of your food there and drinking unfiltered well water..."

The trillion dollars to "clean up" Fukushima is essentially all this. Literally just wipe out entire landscapes, neighborhoods, forests etc. just so they can claim at least they got rid of all radioactivity.

Asking because all of the crosses hanging on the wall.

It could be a Catholic university some Catholic universities actually do research nuclear science.
