Previous US nuclear power regulations stated that there is no threshold whereupon radiation exposure goes from safe to dangerous. The assumption is that radiation is always dangerous and that exposure must be reduced as much as possible. This has changed.

@atcokan1@vintagemapstore Cool. Canada and the US have never been colonised. The Russian Federation has never been invaded. The Fifth Republic of France has never been invaded. It's a pedantic distinction that attempts to wipe away prior history.
@hemakhemak@Mr_spacely777 My point was that there's nothing really wrong with the traditional geographical definitions of the continents, regardless of how arbitrary the borders might appear to be.
@hemakhemak@Mr_spacely777 Never said it was reasonable. It's simply traditional. If we went purely with tectonic plates then NE Russia and half of Iceland is part of North America. Also, the coast of California is not. Outside of geophysics, there's no point to that.
@julie_juliet08 China's expansion has mainly taken place under the leadership of foreign dynasties, but even after those dynasties were gone China was quite happy to claim those territories as Chinese.
@tyruschi@Joeoqbu@Globalstats11 That's a Japan issue and a controversial one within the country itself. Hirohito refused to visit the Shrine after war criminals were added and his successors haven't visited it either. Prime Ministers have, though. In any case, this has nothing to do with the US.
@atcokan1@vintagemapstore The Turks themselves are colonisers of Anatolia, having invaded and taking it from the Eastern Roman Empire. In 1918, the Western Allies in WW1 occupied Constantinople until the end of the Ottoman Empire.
@vintagemapstore The Aberdeen Act of 1845 authorised British Naval ships to interdict and board Brazilian ships suspected of participating in the Transatlantic Slave Trade.
