As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) was replaced by: As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP): To satisfy the ALARP principle, measures necessary to reduce risk must be taken until or unless the cost of those measures, whether money, time or trouble is disproportionate to the reduction in risk.” PAGE 170 – by UK Departement of Energy & Climatechange – QUOTE:
basically: Money over Health – a licence to kill. In the beginning the ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principle was turned against the atomic industry. It said, that radiation exposure has to be held as low as possible, that means as low as rasonably achievable. But hydrogen bombs cause much radiation.The ICRP (International Commission on Radiological Protection) turned around this principle (after the first hydrogen bomb explosion in 1954) – so that the ALARA principle is now working FOR the atomic industry, even if a reactor crashes next to you. ICRP said, that ALARA does not refer to accidents. Basically this means:
When an accident happens (an atomic reactor crash, for example) the whole point of Status Quo is that the people are contaminated with radiation.
They can irradiate you and do not compensate you – and if they do, they do it with your money. No reactor is assured, mind you.
Used in Belarus (Most Chernobyl affected country in the world) and Japan (Fukushima).
Nuclear facilities emit considerable amounts of tritium which makes the water radioactive. By cooling towers and other ways. This is the reason for rising children cancer rates near nuclear reactors:
Because reactors depend on heavy water as a moderator, they release larger amounts of tritium to the environment than light water reactors (…) Tritium is a carcinogen, mutagen, teratogen and developmental toxin. It becomes incorporated into DNA and disrupts the genetic code of men’s and women’s reproductive cells: http://www.iicph.org/files/IICPH-Final-Statement-re-Darlington-NNPP-May-17-20… – current Guideline and Drinking Water Quality Standard for tritium is 7,000 Bq/L, which is based on the permissible ICRP dose limit of 1 mSv/year (lowered to 0.1 mSv in water). This “standard” corresponds to a risk of 350 excess fatal cancers per million people from just one year’s consumption of drinking water, not a lifetime (70 years) 300 million people living in the US: 105,000 DEATHS PER YEAR x 30 years = 3,150,000 murdered people by the peaceful atom! Multiplied x global = weapons of mass destruction.
Translation / quote: Tritium is a radioactive gas, highly toxic if inhaled. It falls to earth with precipitation in the form of tritiated water. The tritium atoms can replace hydrogen atoms (about half the atoms of the human body are composed of hydrogen) and in the form of tritiated water, the isotope of hydrogen can enter the food chain and set in the body, leading to damage and mutations in DNA. ASN in its “White Paper Tritium” published on Aug 7th 2010, revealed that they had underestimated the possible consequences of this radionuclide on the environment and living organisms, the risk estimate was incorrect, that further research was needed. The authors of this paper conclude that “the re-evaluation of the toxicity of tritium requires to revisit the practices on releases and storage of tritiated waste,” giving due warnings of long-standing Commission for Research and Information independent radioactivity CRIIRAD. Studies of the confinement and release of tritium in ITER have not been adequately carried out while the construction of ITER is already underway! This finding is unacceptable, the studies must be conducted in priority to any continuation of the project.
The imagination of a nuclear accident is the same as any other accident: Explosion, historically short effect, in terms of human history. No immediate deaths and injuries, then comes oblivion.
But the effect of the nuclear accident is different from any other: There are hardly dead and injured at the beginning. The pyramid is growing up, but not pointed but in width. The latency period for cesium and strontium is 25 years. The effect occurs only after years or decades.
EDIT 2013: “In December 2011, 9 months after Fukushima, there is also a significant deficit in the number of live births in Japan. A similar decline in birth numbers was found in February 1987 in southern Bavaria, the German region most affected by Chernobyl fallout. In Japan as well as Bavaria, the effect is limited to a single month.” http://www.strahlentelex.de/Infant_mortality_in_Japan_after_Fukushima.pdf

Atomic Industry is the biggest mass murderer of all time, because it even affects unborn and UNMADE life. No dictator ever had so much power.
Cancer, immune deficiency, anemia, heart disease or cardiovascular disease, infant mortality, and leukemia. The accident may have forgotten, the DNA does not forget. There are also the by stander effects:
The effect increases exponentially. Because the effects take a long time to develop, the IAEA and the WHO and UNSCEAR see no connection. Similarly, all ministries of health in the world. So all instances of the world:

“After Chernobyl, infant mortality rates in Sweden, Finland and Norway increased by a significant 15.8 percent compared to the trend for the period 1976 to 2006. Alfred Körblein calculated that for the period 1987 to 1992 an additional 1,209 (95% confidence interval: 875 to 1,556) infants had died.”
“From the period of atmospheric nuclear weapons testing it is known that the infant mortality parameter is sensitive to radioactivity. It therefore comes as no surprise that there are now numerous studies showing that infant mortality is not only higher in the vicinity of Chernobyl, but also further away – in Europe. In the textbooks there is nothing to be found on this yet, but it is to be found in a number of different journals.”
“n 1986 in Berlin, an unusual increase of infant mortality was observed. Compared to 1985, infant mortality in Berlin rose in 1986 from 10.6 to12.5 per 1,000 live births in the first year of life. The mortality rate of non-German infants increased over-proportionally from 9.6 auf 14.3 per thousand. The mortality rate even increased between the end of the first week and the end of the first year of life by 26 percent. There had previously been a decrease in infant mortality”
“Ever since discovering the mutagenicity of ionising radiation in animal experiments, damaging radiation genetic effects in humans have also been repeatedly considered and examined. The ICRP, however, is of the opinion that teratogenic damage (stillbirths, infant mortality, severe malformation) does not occur below a dose of 100 mSV. Since the mean dose for Germany in 1986-7 was only 0.2 mSV, according to ICRP opinion there can’t have been an increase in teratogenic damage. On the other hand, there are numerous studies from Germany, Europe and the three countries in the Chernobyl region that show that there was indeed an increase in teratogenic damage, contrary to expectations on the part of these scientists.”

“According to the ICRP in 1991, just 5 mSv to the testes could cause damage to offspring – yet this dose was permitted yearly to members of the public, and ten times more was permitted to nuclear workers, in all countries prior to 1990. It continues today to be permitted yearly for nuclear workers in most countries.” http://iicph.org/victims_of_the_nuclear_age
Perinatal mortality rates in the regions of Ukraine and Belarus surrounding the Chernobyl site increased in 1987, the year following the Chernobyl accident. The same year, increases of perinatal mortality were also observed in Germany and Poland, and the effect can be associated with the caesium burden in pregnant women. After 1989, there is an unexpected second rise of perinatal mortality in Belarus and Ukraine. This increase is shown to correlate with the strontium content in pregnant women. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12754809

The atmospheric atomic bomb test fallout affected the human sex odds at birth overall, and the Chernobyl fallout had a similar impact in Europe and parts of Asia. The birth sex odds near nuclear facilities are also distorted. The persistently disturbed secular human sex odds trends allow the estimation of the global deficit of births in the range of several millions. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21336635
A positive association of the male proportion in Germany between 1986 and 1991 with radioactive exposure at the district level is reflected by a sex odds ratio of 1.0145 per mSv/a These findings suggest a possible long-term chronic influence of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant accident on the human sex odds at birth in several European countries. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17482426
Why is there nuclear industry and the reactors? For money? Because of the atomic bomb? Why were all people exposed to chronic low-level radiation by above-ground nuclear tests? It is a planned nuclear Darwinism? http://tekknorg.wordpress.com/2011/06/21/atomic-darwinism/
Natural low-level radiation makes life, influenced the shape, caused mutations, diseases and even death. This does the man-made low-level radiation now increasingly, accelerating, in addition. With elements which did not exist before the atomic age: strontium, cesium, iodine, plutonium.
Is this a humanity program? Children suffering from leukemia are collateral damage?

If also male births were affected at a ratio of male: female = 3:10, is the gender gap by about 790 000 (180 000 +610 000) male + female births” PAGE 32
What meaning might lie behind it? Fewer women means fewer people. Nuclear power is probably an instrument to curb population growth

This is because their stocks of ova have been exposed since birth to 40 or so years’ background radiation and have thereby been damaged to such an extent that an unacceptable proportion, when fertilised, results in congenital malformations, spontaneous abortions or stillbirths. Many scientists also consider that background radiation is the prime factor in the ageing process, and is ultimately the reason why we are not immortal.” PAGE 5

It now seems logical that the World Health Organisation WHO is gagged by the International Advertising Agency for Atomic Energy IAEA:
An analysis of the action taken by WHO in response to radioactive contamination, from the start of the nuclear age up to the present day shows this quite clearly:
By Michel Fernex former member of Steering Committees of Scientific working groups on malaria
and filariasis, WHO Geneva: http://www.independentwho.info/Documents/M_Fernex/ChernobylCatastrophe_Fernex_EN.pdf – quote: “As long as the World Health Assembly, the governing body of the WHO, does not amend the Agreement, concluded in 1959 with the IAEA, which holds it hostage to the nuclear lobby with regard to the radiation induced health effects, there is no hope for independent research groups to receive any substantial support.” PAGE 10
and:
http://tekknorg.wordpress.com/2011/05/19/german-greens-cancel-secret-gag-agreement-between-iaea-and-w-h-o/ – quote: “The over “decades” secret agreement “of 1959 regulates that making studies of radiation effects made by WHO are in consultation with the IAEA. From the perspective of the Atomic Energy Authority Members therefore take decisive influence on the health assessment of nuclear disasters, without a mandate or have sufficient expertise and independence. The main objectives of both organizations were in an “irreconcilable conflict”- here to promote the peaceful use of nuclear power, where the goal of “all nations and people to achieve the best possible health help. “
If radiation from nuclear power plants would have a color, we would understand.
There are Errors in conventional (ICRP) risk models for radiation limits:
http://www.atomkongress.de/z_folien_busby.pdf - quote: “The errors in the ICRP model arise from failure to see that there are differences in the cell doses from internal and external irradiation, between some man made and all natural isotopes and because of the existence of new types of exposure to particles.” PAGE 1
This has full effect on unborn and even un-made human life!
More: quote by IPPNW / PSR (nobel peace proze 1985):
What we need is a “reference embryo” to replace the “reference man”. In 1974, the ICRP created the “reference man”, a hypothetical construct of a young, healthy white man in North America or Europe, aged 25-30, weighting 154 pounds, 5 feet 7 inches high. This is the base for the existing radiation protection. It is assumed that his immune system is in full working order and his cell repair mechanisms work well. These assumptions don’t do justice to the situation of our children born in the vicinity of nuclear power plants. In the IPPNW-Petition for an advanced radiation protection (July 2009), we ask the German Bundestag to replace the obsolete “reference man” by the more sensitive “reference embryo”. Until August 2010, 4100 people joined this petition. The German Bundestag did not yet respond to our claims.
When people over years and decades are exposed to chronic low-level radiation their tolerance to low-level radiation as a whole is reduced. One speaks of Chernobyl-Aids in Belarus. The effect is as follows: The free radicals caused by the slow dose / low radiation are sparsely distributed radicals do have a higher chance to reach the cell membranes. The low electric charge of the cell membranes attract the free radicals in the early state of the reaction (minor total dose). If the harmed cells are monocytes – this will cause:
Weakened immune system in the cells, because the monocytes generate the substance which activates the immune system of the lymphocytes.
This is the so called “Bura Bura” – of Hiroshima and Nagasaki survivors.
Large sections of the population can therefore be turned off easily.
The main way in which the “radiation protection industry” has succeeded in hugely underrating the ill-health caused by nuclear power is by insisting on a group of extremely restrictive definitions as to what qualifies as a radiation-caused illness statistic. For example, under IAEA’s criteria:
> If a radiation-caused cancer is not fatal, it is not counted in the IAEA’s figures
> If a cancer is initiated by another carcenogen, but accelerated or promoted by exposure to radiation, it is not counted.
> If an auto-immune disease or any non-cancer is caused by radiation, it is not counted.
> Radiation-damaged embryos or foetuses which result in miscarriage or stillbirth do not count
> A congenitally blind, deaf or malformed child whose illnesses are are radiation-related are not included in the figures because this is not genetic damage, but rather is teratogenic, and will not be passed on later to the child’s offspring.
> Causing the genetic predisposition to breast cancer or heart disease does not count since it is not a “serious genetic disease” in the Mendelian sense.
> Even if radiation causes a fatal cancer or serious genetic disease in a live born infant, it is discounted if the estimated radiation dose is below 100 mSv [mSv= millisievert, a measurement of radiation exposure. One hundred millsievert is the equivalent in radiation of about 100 X-Rays].
> Even if radiation causes a lung cancer, it does not count if the person smokes — in fact whenever there is a possibility of another cause, radiation cannot be blamed.
> If all else fails, it is possible to claim that radiation below some designated dose does not cause cancer, and then average over the whole body the radiation dose which has actually been received by one part of the body or even organ, as for instance when radio-iodine concentrates in the thyroid. This arbitrary dilution of the dose will ensure that the 100 mSv cut-off point is nowhere near reached. It is a technique used to dismiss the sickness of Gulf War veterans who inhaled small particles of ceramic uranium which stayed in their lungs for more than two years, and in their bodies for more than eight years, irradiating and damaging cells in a particular part of the body.
war is going on.
It was made publicly known in 1953 when President Dwight D. Eisenhower declared war upon every citizen and human being with “The Peaceful Atom”. It was then further developed in 1954 with the first hydrogen bomb testing which changed the most important international program for radiation protection and compensation: THE ALARA PRINCIPLE: http://tekknorg.wordpress.com/2011/03/21/iaea-and-icrp-the-alara-principle/, the h bomb testing is the successor to the Hiroshima / Nagasaki testing (!). The BASE for ALL RADIATION LIMITS is the T65D Study (Tentative Dose Estimate compiled in 1965): http://www.rerf.or.jp/glossary_e/t65d.htm For validation of this study the US even did an atomic test in Nevada: http://www.sciencemag.org/content/212/4497/900.extract
The indirect chemical damage to cell membranes in the low dose range is much more important than the direct effect of radiation on the nucleus with its genetic material. In the nucleus there appears to be much stronger repair mechanisms than in the cell membranes. This is consistent with the purposes of evolution: Increasingly higher development of life. First and foremost, namely the genes in the nucleus had greatly developed by repair mechanisms to be protected. Only then could the nature of the gene pool protect itself against the highly damaging properties of natural radiation, and thus maintain the relative stability of species over millions of years.

But in contrast to the gene pool, individual members of populations (plants, animals, people) for the evolution are not so important to the contrary, her constant death and her replacement by reproduction is an important evolutionary process. The repair mechanisms in the cell membranes were needed, but weren’t so important, because you only caused diseases, but no genetic defects. And if one member of a population has fulfilled its evolutionary role of reproduction, sit is no longer needed, so a life extension beyond the reproductive age is also not absolutely necessary. This is for the survival of animals and plant species are not necessarily problematic, however, for human society. Each individual hopes to a long and healthy life, far beyond reproduction age. In addition, an adaptation to environmental toxic substances in humans is not possbile, because of the generational change phaes which are very long. But we add more radiation by atomic energy with it’s low radiation emission, accidents, catastrophes – which are peeks.

It’s the first step into Rehabilitation… rehabilitation of the country. NOT the people.
In order to keep compensation low.
Rehabilitation means: Restoration.
1996 said the belarusian president Lukashenko during a meeting of the IAEA: “We encourage people to come back. We will open the shops again and enable the people to return to their evacuated towns and villages.”
National statements were made by the President of Belarus, Mr. A. Lukashenko:
quote: “Lukashenko, as far as I understand, is doing it somewhat surreptitiously. It is not an open process. There are reports, for instance, of encouraging agriculture, redeveloping dairying and forestry operations, and encouraging people either to resettle or to move into contaminated areas.” – from (page 51): http://www.wilsoncenter.org/topics/pubs/OP295.pdf
