"Thank you LJ and Tom for your input, there is something I should point out though.

1) The 18.7 million kwH is for one kilogram or 2.2 pounds of uranium 235.
2) I do not have any ‘kinetic energy’ information on the other 567000 plus kilograms of radioactive elements that were released into the atmosphere between 1944 and 1987, and I do not know how many tons of radioactive materials have ‘leaked’ into the atmosphere since 1987. But I would estimate that by multiplying LJ’s figures by 500000 might not be excessive.
3) It is true that if LJ’s figures are correct and we multiply them by half a million the total heat rise of the atmosphere still is not enough to ‘boil’ any oceans. "

Even if all those radioactive nuclei decayed simultaneously in a single year:-

500,000 times 1 billionth of a degree is 0.5 thousandth of a degree temperature rise.

To even mention the phrase "boil oceans" in this context is stupid, unscientific, and sensationalist.

You ain't even WRONG, baby, you're so stupid it isn't worth arguing with you, so I quit at this point with the mere assertion that everything you say about radioactivity is wrong and that you are either stupid or a deliberate hoaxer, or perhaps lying for hidden motives.

If you care to respond, use the flame channel, since the scientific value of your thoughts and calculations is so small it isn't even negligible, it's negative...
