Fukushima Radiation, BBC Disinformation and Beta Particles
The BBC reports a massive spike in radiation at the Fukushima nuclear plant, claiming it could kill a person in four hours. The hosts debunk the report, noting that the radiation is 100% beta particles, which can be shielded by paper and only travel a short distance. They characterize the news as disinformation designed to promote alternative energy sources like natural gas.
