If you think 30 minutes of Sun exposure is something to be worried about, it pretty much discredits your other statements.
An extra 30 minutes per day for every person on earth certainly would be appreciable. 30 minutes over a lifetime, not so much.
Which brings to mind another way in which not all radioactive material is created equal. The same number of Beq of material with a long half life delivers a higher a higher dose to the body than does a material which decays away quickly.
Yet another difference is that sunlight is not an internal body problem with radiation that might accumulate in, say, your thyroid, while some components of reactor fission products are that kind of problem. So just comparing disintegrations per second does not cut it.
Look, my point is not that I've discovered a large problem. It is more that the article as written is pretty sloppy and full of handwaving. There is no reason to divide the radiation up into an hourly dose if it is accumulating into the ocean. The issue is the total amount of radioactivity discharged taking into account the half-life of the material.

Seems to me if its clear that certain things that require ancient dates couldn't possibly be true, we are on our way to throwing out all those ancient dates on the basis of the actual evidence. -- Faith
