Once again the threat of radioactive contamination looms as massive Texas wildfires threaten Pantex facilityl https://www.newsbreak.com/videos/3349924092645-nuclear-weapons-plant-evacuated-as-wildfires-rage-out-of-control-and-threaten-bomb-factory?_f=app_share&ctype=native_video&s=a3&share_destination_id=Nzk2MTMzMTYtMTcwOTU2MTcwODc0NQ%3D%3D&pd=05O33kZJ&hl=en_US&send_time=1709561708&actBtn=fb&trans_data=%7B%22platform%22%3A1%2C%22cv%22%3A%2224.8.1%22%2C%22languages%22%3A%22en%22%7D

There has been considerable discussion about the problems with dumping radioactive water into the ocean from the destroyed nuclear plant at Fukushima. But who knew that this has been standard practice in the US, where thousands of tons of radioactive … Continue reading →

A cylinder containing depleted uranium-hexafluoride exploded at an enrichment plant in Novouralsk, Russia. One hundred workers sent to hospital for decontamination. Extent of contamination unknown. https://www.newsweek.com/uranium-plant-explosion-russia-nuclear-radiation-fears-1812966?fbclid=IwAR2RnVcgIluSl3MNQzB_lVudiATZtJ5Jjsl-EOCy1dtKfuOjorYIqnRLJMo

During the Cold War thousands of Atmospheric Nuclear Tests were conducted worldwide spreading radioactive fallout all over the globe. This fallout has caused millions of premature deaths from cancer and other illnesses. The Governments of the world have a responsibility … Continue reading →

At Portsmouth/Piketon on the Ohio River the Government operated a uranium isotope enrichment plan using gaseous diffusion of uranium-hexafluoride to increase the natural concentration ratio of U-235/U-238 (0.7%) to 4 or 5% for use in nuclear reactors. There is a … Continue reading →

The attached article makes clear the long life of radioactive fission products in the environment and the persistent danger still posed by the irresponsible testing of atomic weapons in the atmosphere during the cold war and the worldwide dissemination of … Continue reading →

Pediatric CT-Scans are not benign. Cancer risk increases the younger the child and the number of scans.

Just as wildfires release huge amounts of radioactive isotopes from nuclear bomb tests, formerly sequestered in vegetation, the now melting glaciers are also releasing huge amounts of these same radioactive isotopes from sequestration into the environment; creating a danger to … Continue reading →

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has amply demonstrated that we as a world people are too immature to handle such a dangerous technology. The people near the Zaporizhzhya  nuclear power plant in Ukraine are now being evacuated because the Russians … Continue reading →

The attached link is to an article questioning whether CT Scans cause cancer. There is no safe level of ionizing radiation and the article estimates how many cancers might be caused by medical exposure to ionizing radiation including CT Scans. … Continue reading →
