To be fair, the unworried proponents of this piece used equally fallacious rhetorical tricks, and did so with the intent to deceive.
Presumably the correct response to bullshit is to call it out as such rather than producing your own.
For example, the 'not worried' writer explains that 'the nuclear fuel is uranium oxide.' But that is not true of the whole plant: http://www.tepco.co.jp/en/challenge/csr/nuclear/cycle-e.html
Plutonium complicates things rather significantly. Accuracy should not be sacrificed to fearmongering, but nor should it be sacrificed for mere reassurance.
Edit: downvoted for supplying more accurate information with a citation? Classy.
