It said that the rodent population dropped, in fairness.
What's a native material? Are radioactive elements foreign materials?
Fear of radioactive materials is orders of magnitude more harmful to your health than the radioactive materials themselves.

I meant the fuel is vastly more concentrated than occurs in nature.
Some are synthetic, like the various isotopes of plutonium.
When the people were bussed out of the area, I doubt they took pets, most of which would starve.

where on earth is it occurring then, and how?

You are using an excessively strict interpretation of natural.
Far more than would be usually expected in such a milieu as this.

your personal definition of words outside accepted norms ≠ science
The oxford definition gives the condition in the definition: "not made or caused by humans". this is the one that is widely accepted. if you were to ask ordinary people whether a nuclear power plant, a tree, uranium ore dug up, or processed uranium, were natural, they'd say, no, yes, yes, no, because unlike you and brb, they have a good grasp on what the term means. however, if brb wants to hold on to this all-encompassing personal definition of natural, then why use it defend nuclear power plants?

'vastly more concentrated than occurs in nature'
I bet you there's at least one star out there with even more refined isotopes in its core than we've ever produced.

Now you’re just being silly
Did Alexander Litvinenko die of polonium poisoning or the fear of it? Did all those people who went into the Chernobyl reactor room have their bodies break down out of fright?

My point is that stress over radioactivity causes more harm to the human population that the radioactive materials themselves
not that an individual exposed to lethal radiation won't die.

Holy shit yes.
It's one of the cleanest and least harmful methods we have, and our best hope at surviving the next couple of centuries.
It is green energy because it emits zero carbon, just steam. The waste products make more fuel, the associated waste (such as used PPE, metals, glass, water, concrete, etc) and what's left over from the depleted fuel can and should be stored in such a way as to produce useful energy too (the stuff is literally hot, so chuck it down a sufficiently engineered hole and stick a geothermal power plant on top), or make a fucking huge RTG to power your Van Neumann probe or whatever).

Isn't a natural gas deposit the result of natural refinery, from a certain point of view?
Fossil fuel deposits would certainly go extinct if all life on Earth went extinct first. It would take a while, but we wouldn't care.

That point of view changes as you need it too.
It's nearly off the page so I'm damned if I'll let you have the last word.
