Yes, I wrote a research paper and did an in-class presentation for a Geography class about how humans were altering the ionosphere with Krypton-85. I got an "A" on the paper, especially for my excellent citations. I don't post anti-nuclear information just for the sake of "fear mongering" -- I post it to make folks aware of the true costs of #nuclear power. So yeah, I have actually read the studies cited -- and summarized the research.
