The guy swam in a storage pool, water blocks radiation. Someone with influence redefined what nuclear waste is for his own gain, so what? I don't see the relevance, X-rays are measurably dangerous, ever heard of Therac-25?
He says it's not soluble so it won't stay in his body, not that it's not dangerous.
If we started treating it as dirt it wouldn't end well, how would you like it if you had to keep all your electronics decontaminated and shielded because "lol radiation is nothing" and everyone stopped taking it seriously?
In the real world nothing boils down to simple facts.
Plenty of people got cancer from the accident in Chernobyl, there's a psychological factor and I don't think you thought this through in a practical sense either, the buildings went to shit, rebuilding costs money, rebuilding means demolition, demolition means increased exposure.
Uranium and Plutonium are worth billions, maybe trillions of dollars.
Where did you get that?
Why are animals in the Chernobyl no go zones thriving?
Wild animals don't live long enough for radiation to cause cancer, they also don't live in a society with pesky rules like "don't contaminate me or my environment at all, you uranium licking retard."
Funny how you probably consider vaccine shedding an issue but want to deregulate nuclear materials just like that.
In your hypothetical utopia a laptop would suck in microscopic amounts of uranium and just die when it settles on a chip, how lucky we are to have you tell us we're getting fucked by the big man again.
Most things are safe in small enough doses but that does not mean you should over do it, As an example arsenic is a vital micro nutrient that you would die with out but will also kill you in high doses.
Radiation is pretty much always bad but an xray is less radiation than flying internationally.

Thats disputable. We always get a background amount of radiation and our bodies can easily handle much more (like on a flight, for instance). I would not wanna be in the experiment, if tech came out where we could easily shield ourselves from all radiation ever. Same reason I don't use products with 'antibacterial' chemicals in them to wipe down all surfaces of my house multiple times per day, and use hand sanitizer ever 3 minutes.
I answered that in my previous post. No one has ever been isolated from all radiation. I believe that if we could we would find that background radiation is beneficial. Just like most things that human beings have evolved with and to compensate for over millions of years. Your DNA expects background radiation just like it expects to have to constantly fight off various microbes in a natural environment - this excercises your immune system. If we could eliminate it, I would not be surprised if it set our bodies practices out of whack and potentially triggered autoimmune disorders. Long term, you would probably end up with many people who were super susceptable to normal background radiation and no longer be able to survive well naturally.
Do you remember the big Radon scare? The government was trying to tell everyone their own homes could kill them. The fact that Radon has always existed as background radiation and there hasn't been a dramatic rise in radiation-caused cancers tells us that it was all bullshit. I think it was a way for a lot of people to profit by selling Radon detectors that no one uses but are required to purchase when selling a house.
It is a stochastic process, we'll say there is an exponential dropoff or something (e^-1/x). So a patient gets 1 dose (1 foot away), a tech standing 4 feet away gets 1/16 of a dose. The tech does 64 sessions a day, so they are getting 4 doses a day. So then 4x the dose gives them roughly 2x the chance of injury. this goes on and on, until there is a roughly 100% chance of injury, like curie.

Needless to say a lot of industries rely on _not_ having radioactive elements polluting the environment and damaging everything we make.
calling someone a bootlicking fed for supporting regulation isn't? at least i have a good reason, you don't.
voat isn't a circlejerk for alternative-think idiots, if you want to pretend nuclear deregulation is good expect to get told you're wrong.

Not necessarily. I would recommend reading about hormesis.
