Respectfully, I would ask you to read much further into this topic before dispersing your own opinions.
The Continental United States is far more radioactive than Japan is.
Imagine that you have a bathtub full of water and I dump a 5 lb bag of salt in it. The volume of salt in that tub has gone up by millions of percentage points. But if you take that same tub and dump it in a lake, the average salinity in the lake has gone up by less than 0.001%. . Tub is the Sea of Japan. The lake is the planetary ocean system. Given enough time as the two are connected, the “salinity” will equal out.
Keep in mind just because something is elevated does not mean that it is deadly. Depending on where you live in the world, you probably experience something between 2 to 3 mSv a year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Background_radiation
Nothing I said was a “opinion“, and unless you can actually point to something I said that was incorrect, I don’t really see the point of contention here. And whataboutism isn’t a really great argument.
Your first sentence “In short, yes.” is wrong. The start of your second sentence “While I don’t know” is correct reading the rest of the comment. You’re talking apples and oranges when you campare Chernobyl with the bombs on Japan. Also the part of acid rain and elevated radiation levels don’t make sense to me, as far as I know these are different phenomena with different causes.

I’m not in the mood for a silly argument, especially when you keep saying that what I said was correct.
