Radioactive Minerals Mimic Real Minerals


Radioactive Isotopes Mimic Real Minerals
Calcium
Strontium-90
Iodine
Iodine-131
Iron
Plutonium-238, Plutonium-239
Potassium
Cesium-137
Sulfur
Sulfur-35
Zinc
Zinc-65
B12
Cobalt-60

Here is a partial list of the radioactive isotopes and the minerals they mimic. As you can see, these are all essential minerals and nutrients that we need in order to survive. As the popular media calls for an end to global warming amidst the growing demand for "clean" energy, the public is still at risk because of outdated nuclear power plants. (I ask you this - is global warming really going to be an issue if we are all suffering from some sort of disease casued by the cumulative effects of low level radiation?

If nuclear power plants have a long history of acting like good corporate citizens, then I for one would not look upon them with such a jaundice eye, but truth be told, it is exactly the opposite. . Nuclear power plants have a track history of, well, ahem, quite frankly acting like corporate deviants.
