More doom
This latest dust storm over eastern Australia has prompted anti-nuclear anything campaigners to point out to us all the threat of nuclear dust from uranium mine tailings.
Eastern Australian is rapidly becoming uninhabitable. Sadly, it's not the environment that is causing this deterioration: It is caused by the environmentalists' manic reactions to perfectly natural events.
Natural background radiation comes from two primary sources: cosmic radiation and terrestrial sources. The worldwide average background dose for a human being is about 2.4 millisievert (mSv) per year.[1] This exposure is mostly from cosmic radiation and natural radionuclide in the environment. This is far greater than human-caused background radiation exposure, which in the year 2000 amounted to an average of about 5 μSv per year from historical nuclear weapons testing, nuclear power accidents and nuclear industry operation combined,[2] and is greater than the average exposure from medical tests, which ranges from 0.04 to 1 mSv per year. Older coal-fired power plants without effective fly ash capture are one of the largest sources of human-caused background radiation exposure.

From the Wiki article on background radiation:
