On April 5th I went to BELRAD Institute (http://belrad-institute.org/) in Belarus (got 72% of the Chernobyl fallout), with a friend and translator, to get important data about their work. Here I present with the permission of vice director Mr. Babenko of BELRAD, the Children radiation maps of Belarus (below). First, some background on the data: We see here 17 regions of Belarus:
Irradiated areas and relatively “CLEAN” areas. Children have Cesium in their bodies, no matter if they live in “clean” or irradiated areas. This is one important fact these maps show. Why is that? The average irradiated soil in Belarus is: 1 – 40 Curie per square kilometer (= 37,000 – 1,480,000 becquerel per m²) of radionuclides, such as Cesium 137, Strontium 90, Americium 241 and other radionuclides. It reaches also 160 Curie per km², although it is 40 on official maps, but reaches 18,500,000 becquerel per m² in some places. Here is more info: http://tekknorg.wordpress.com/2012/03/04/japanese-children-cancer-outlook-children-need-absolutely-clean-food/ Here is a list of the radionuclides: http://life-upgrade.com/DATA/Primary%20Radionuclides.gif
The circles on the region graphic mostly show GREEN and YELLOW. Green means: Children have 0 – 20 Becquerel of Cesium 137 per body kilogram (2,20 pounds or 35,20 ounzes). Yellow means: Children have 20 – 100 Becquerel of Cesium 137 per body kilogram.
Nesterenko, founder of BELRAD: “Children receive the highest doses, because the dose coefficients, in a 3 year old child, are 5 times higher than in adults.“
Not even world’s biggest nuclear-reactor-children-cancer study (KIKK) counts in INTERNAL radiation: http://tekknorg.wordpress.com/2007/12/17/german-kikk-study-higher-cancer-risc-next-to-atomic-power-plants-unofficial-belarussian-children-cancer-data/ They only measure EXTERNAL radiation. No known children cancer study is interested in INTERNAL emitters, although 70 – 90% of radiation comes from food today. THE WORLD HAS TO LEARN FROM BELARUS. If the focus is set only to external radiation, is seen only radiation in water and air, only milli sievert is discussed. Clean city, irradiated food. No children cancer study I know is interested in internal emitters. We can not afford this failure a 2nd time. This is not mere methodology. This is survival.
It’s health / death consequences are usually ignored by IAEA, WHO, UNSCEAR, ICRP, BEIR, health ministeries and authorities, such as FDA. They even allow a certain (murderous) limit for food. In case of the European Union Countries: 63 milli Sievert per Year by Cesium 137 for infants:http://www.strahlentelex.de/RadiationRisk_EU_042011_engl.pdf
Food and their Mitosis is the reason, why children become ill and die, in irradiated AND “CLEAN” areas.
“In most cases effect of existing concentrations of radioactive caesium in the organism (10 – 20 Bq/kg) doesn’t cause its death, but influencing the energetic apparatus of cardiac cells significantly reduces their adaptable possibilities, and as a result functioning during stress situations and banal loads (physical and mental tension, hypoxia, disorder of temperature regime, alcohol drinking, infections and allergic diseases) becoming impossible.” http://chernobyl-today.org/images/stories/Bandajevski_2001_Radiocaesium_and_heart.pdf
“Incorporation by of radionuclides (137Cs and 90Sr) with food (meat and grain) affects the offspring prenatal and postnatal development manifested by embryotoxic effects and abnormal bony system development” http://radionucleide.free.fr/Chapitre_1.htm
Scientists discover the obvious: “the human infant while nursing may attain higher body bur dens of radiocesium than would be the case for somewhat older children.”: http://radionucleide.free.fr/Stresseurs/419.pdf
Charity rock concert for BELRAD Institute in Belarus (radiation measurements of food and Children / Chernobyl) on April 28th 2012: http://www.janun-hannover.de/ – 7 EUR Invitation – proceeds go to BELRAD. More Info: http://www.ostwestbruecke.de/ (Annual operating costs of a radiation measuring site is 1,238 € – according to Nesterenko.)
WHY Fukushima and Chernobyl grow in Time and Space: “The yield of chromosome aberrations and, in lesser degree, embryonic lethality was associated with the radionuclide contamination of the monitoring areas in a dose-dependent manner. As a main feature of the long-term development of biological damage under low dose rate irradiation, permanently elevated levels of chromosome aberrations and an increasing frequency of embryonic lethality have developed over 22 animal generations. This contrasts with the assumption that the biological damage would gradually disappear since in the same period of time the whole-body absorbed dose rate decreased exponentially with a half-value time of about 2.5–3 years.” http://enfants-tchernobyl-belarus.org/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=fichiers%3Aetb-68.pdf
Pathologies of organs and systems of children are being registered when accumulation of Cs-137 in the body is higher than 50 Bq/kg. During pregnancy, when the level of Cs-137 in placenta is >200 Bq/kg, hormone disorders are being registered not only with mother but with foetus too. Particularly the level of testosterone increases with the higher amount of radionuclides. Mother experiences the increase of thyroid hormones amount and the amount of kortisol in blood. Changes of hormonal status in the mother-foetus system leads to the increase of the pregnancy length, complications of the birth act and after-birth development of the child. http://members.fortunecity.com/asasas25/Nester/nester1.htm
“Anencephaly, severe spina bifida cystica, cleft lips and/or palate, polydactyly, reduction limb defects leading to disability, esophageal atresia, anorectal atresias, Down’s syndrome and multiple
malformations are registered both in stillborns and in fetuses obtained through induced abortion after prenatal diagnostics. The results are presented in Table 2 for the 137Cs contaminated areas and for the control.” quote and scan from PAGE 2: http://www.rri.kyoto-u.ac.jp/NSRG/reports/kr21/kr21pdf/Lazjuk.pdf
“Two years ago, Rosa Goncharova of the Institute of Genetics and Cytology in Minsk reported evidence that congenital abnormalities were turning up in the children of those irradiated by Chernobyl. She told a conference that since 1985, cases of cleft palate, Down’s syndrome and other deformities had increased by 83 per cent in the areas most heavily contaminated, 30 per cent in moderately contaminated areas and 24 per cent in “clean” areas.” http://web.archive.org/web/20060108123540/http://www.unesco.org/courier/2000_10/uk/planet.htm
Doses recived by Children are 3 – 10 times higher than by adults. This is a catastrophe because Children are in “mitsosis“, every damaged cell gives the damage to other cells, more rapidly. The latency is shorter in Children (1 – 4 years / adults: 20 – 25 years). By Vassily Nesterenko Atomic phsyicist and liquidator of Chernobyl and founder of BELRAD Institute:
“for 15 years new children were born who, thanks to God, did not experience the first radioactive shock. For 15 years, they have eaten contaminated food. Children receive the highest doses, because the dose coefficients, in a 3 year old child, are 5 times higher than in adults. Contaminate food spreads like locusts In the whole Republic. It is not surprising to find in Minsk, children with a dose load of 700-900 Bq/kg. I want to draw your attention on the research of Prof. Bandazhevsky. We worked with him. He came to the conclusion that 50 Bq/kg bodyweight in children, represent a threshold where pathologies appear in vital organs like kidneys, liver, heart and others. I want to say that today the health of children is such that if we do not take urgent measures, I cannot see good prospects for our children.”
Nesterenko: “We measure the whole population, then we isolate the critical group. We isolate the 10-15 most contaminated individuals. Generally 8 are children, also tractor drivers and forest workers, and sometimes retired persons who gather great quantities of berries and mushroom in forests. This is what our measurements show. We have 110.000 results. We always thought that children with a high metabolism should not concentrate much. But, I repeat, we find the highest concentrations in the children.”
“when we try to eliminate the high sickness rate by an increased number of clinics – we’ll never succeed. Unfortunately, we are losing time for study because to do something it is necessary to understand the reasons and consequences of the sickness rather than regularly declare slogans or launch some campaigns” http://spring96.org/en/news/13547
Irradiated Fukushima or Chernobyl Soil with 555,000 Becquerel per m² (15 Curie per km²) and more irradiates the people living there with additional 50 to 60 milli Sievert per year (annual dose)! NOT included: Irradiation by food (Source number One).
Our tolerance level to radiation is lowered by Chernobyl and Fukushima: it can be stated that hereditary apparatus of somatic and germ cells of succeeding animal generations (12-22) have higher sensitivity to radiation in comparison with previous ones (1-10) that lived before – and took much higher radiation loads. In other words, there was no genetic adaptation to the mutagenic effect of low level irradiation for the whole investigation period in wild populations of bank vole. http://www.rri.kyoto-u.ac.jp/NSRG/reports/kr21/kr21pdf/Goncharova.pdf
Lessons from Belarus to Japan: 555 kBq per m² (15 Curie per km²) to 1,480 kBq per m² (40 Curie per km²) cause 50 – 60 milli Sievert per year for the people living there – according to Belaraus National Report 1995 [the year when Belarus stopped aid for irradiated areas with 1 - 5 Curie km² (37 kBq per m² - 185 kBq per m²)]. Exclusion Zones start at 18,500 kBq (18,500,000!!!) per m² of Cs-137, 455 kBq per m² of Sr-90 and 150 kBq per m² of Pu-239. Very very high tolerance levels, if we take into account, that Bandashevsy proved, that 20 Bq – 50 Bq of Cs-137 per Kg of the body (not kilo Bq! normal Bq!) are already letal for children! 1995: the level of air contamination exceeded by 10 and more times the pre-accident data even for “clean” places, like Minsk.
The river sediments of Dneeper, Sozh and Pripjat, Neman, Zapadnay and Divina increased Cs-137 by 80%. This is only official state data. It reached also backwaters: The Sr-90 activity varies from 2,2 – 66,0 up to 407 – 4,215 Bq/Kg). Alpha-radionuclides density in riverbed sediments is higher than in river waters: Pu238 from 0,005 – 9,10 Bg/Kg; Pu-239-240 from 0,13 – 28,13 Bq/Kg; Am-241 from 0,07 – 16,2 Bq/Kg. In the 90ies the levels fro Cs-137 and Sr-90 exceed pre-accidental levels in ground water 20 – 30 times and in underground waters 10 times and more. Chernobyl turned the soil into a collector where accumulation and prolonged retention of long-living radionculides occur.
Today contaminated soil functions as the main source, which delivers various components of radionuclides into the biosphere. At at distance of 150 – 200 km to Chernobyl: Gomel in Belarus: 2,271 kBq/m² (61 Curie per km²) and Mogilev (146 Curie per km²) can be found. In Bragin (Gomel) Cs-137 contamination is 174 kBq per m² up to 2,523 kBq per m². Radionuclides are distributed into forest photosynthesis: this is the growth line for Cs-137: wood < branches < needles < forest litter. For the living soil cover the line is as follows: herbaceous plants < lichens < mosses. The maximum is in the root system and ground vegetative part of plants, and considerably lower in generating organs. Accumulation degree for Sr-90 in meadow plants is twice as large as compared to Cs-137. The permissible levels for mushrooms is 7,4 kBq per m² for mushrooms. Terretories are called clean if contamination density is lower than 37 kBq per m². For berries of the red worthle berries family varies from 37 to 185 kBq per m². Migration processes of marketable animals and birds cause high specific activity of game registered even on relatively clean terretories.
The presence of radioactive isotopes in practically all components of the natural and natural-techno-genic ecosystems with density much higher than before explains their involvement in the geo-chemical and biological cycles of migration. This stuation causes different ways of external and internal irradiation of the population and jeopardizes people’s health.
We don’t get more data today, it is covered up by the state. So we go back into the 90ies: Thyroid illnesses morbidity of the children of Gomel area in 1994 (indices per 100,000 children: Total in Belarus 1086,20 – Total in Gomel area: 3594,30 – Contaminated area (> 555 kBq per m² / > 15 Curie per km²): 16159,70. Thyroid cancer morbidity of the children of Gomel area in 1994 (i.p. 100,000 children): Total in Belarus: 3,20 – Total in Gomel area: 12,00 – Contaminated area (> 555 kBq per m² / > 15 Curie per km²): 77,50. Tumour morbidity of the children in Gomel area in 1994 (i.p. 100,000 chidren): Total in Belarus: 101,10 – Total in Gomel area: 154,90 – Contaminated area (> 555 kBq per m² / > 15 Curie per km²): 245,40. Malignant tumour morbidity of the Children of Gomel area in 1994: Total in Belarus: 13,80 – Total in Gomel area: 27,10 – Contaminated area (> 555 kBq per m² / > 15 Curie per km²): 103,30.
BELRAD (THE INSTITUTE OF RADIATION, BELARUS)
“The Institute of Radiation Safety in Belarus is known as BELRAD (or Institute
BELRAD). The Institute was founded by the eminent nuclear physicist Dr Vasily
Nesterenko in 1990 and acts as an independent non state organization. The
Institute conducts scientific research and development projects to measure the
radiation in food and humans, along with measurements of contamination in soil
The goal of the Institute BELRAD is the radiation monitoring of the inhabitants of
Chernobyl zone and their food. The Institute also develops guidelines on
radiation safety for the protection of the population who live in the contaminated
zones. BELRAD also conducts ongoing scientific research.
FROM http://www.chernobyl-international.com/Libraries/Documents/Chernobyl25_-_Impact_of_Chernobyl_-_Facts_Figures.sflb.ashx
Main activities:
Radiation monitoring of the Chernobyl zones
The creation local networks for controlling and limiting the distribution of
contaminated food
Educating teachers and schools on the dangers of consuming irradiated food
Radiation monitoring of food. There are now 83 local networks in operation
and these networks or centres assist in monitoring food. The BELRAD databank
includes over 320,000 results relating to their radiation control and monitoring of
food in the worst affected regions of Belarus.”
Strontium 90 in Milk was the real reason, why there there was an atomic bomb test stop in the 1960ies:
In 1963 the radioactivity in milk was so high, the public got alarmed. But the USAEC denied everything. Former President Kennedy held his speech and demanded the bomb test stop: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:President_Kennedy_signs_Nuclear_Test_Ban_Treaty,_07_October_1963.jpg Ironically, the health authorities (former NRC: USAEC – president: Seaborg – who discovered Plutonium:) were particularly zealous advocates of nuclear bombs Supporters. Three months later, President Kennedy was shot.
Rosa Goncharova‘s geneticist. In the Belarusian capital Minsk, she directs the laboratory of the Institute of Genetics and Cytology of the Belorussian Academy of Sciences. For decades, the research professor and her team investigated the effects of long-lasting radioactive low-level radiation.
What harm take people living in contaminated areas?
“Must live”, because there are 2600 villages that should relocate. Rosa Gonchrova summarizes the results of their studies (in german):
“One of the main lessons learned from Chernobyl is the fact that even low doses of ionizing radiation in animals and humans have biological and genetic consequences. This is now proven. They produce damage in the body cells and in the sex cells. Even at a low dose of less than 100 micro Sievert and even years at a tolerated dose of one millisievert were identified in our laboratory genetic changes.”
“About one Milllisievert per year: This is the annual dose limit for people who do not work professionally with ionizing radiations. For occupationally exposed persons in Europe are higher limits. The research team has identified mutations, ie changes in the genes of the nucleus.”
“Man, like every other living being possesses, protection systems, the repair such mutations almost. If there is now under the influence of radioactivity additional mutations, the organism will be charged additionally, he must also fight against it.”
“For these children we have found changes in individual genes. And the worst part is that these children show an increased sensitivity to other unfavorable factors. That is, these children fall ill more frequently than others. Among the unfavorable factors include poor diet, environmental factors, chemical pollution. This is true not only for children but for adults too. They all have an increased sensitivity to other unfavorable factors.”
“In plain English: who spends his life in contaminated areas spend, must, whose immune system is weakened.”
Radioactivity, as it opens the doors for other health problems.
The most dangerous radiation is which is ingested with food. Thus, for example, cesium-137 from the inside to act on the cells, because it displaces the vital potassium in muscle tissue. Or strontium-90, a radionuclide that accumulates in the bone and bone marrow: there can damage blood cells and can cause cancer such as blood.”
- On the question of whether changes in the genetic inheritance of future generations, says geneticist Rose Goncharova: “We demonstrated in our laboratory for the first time that genetic changes over generations may be swept on. We have found after Chernobyl more than 22 animal generations of genetic instability. There are animals that live in the contaminated areas who have to live under the influence of low doses. We have been scientifically proven.”
“This has been proven in one of the most common mammals in the bank vole. The cells of these mice were well comparable with those of humans, says the researcher. Therefore one can transmit many findings to him.”
“Even after 22 generations of mice you can still see changes, mutations. They are inherited. The radioactivity is harmful. So it happens that many offspring do not survive or even many embryos. Those who survive are somehow cope with the situation. But whose genome is unstable, and they also pass into the next generation. And often they are ill. Their whole system is more unstable than in other animals.”
“The mortality rate in these animals is very, very high. Mice produce very many offspring, and therefore they can afford a high death rate. Man, however, will usually produce only one child. In any case, not five, six, seven at once. He also does not bring several generations in a year or during his life to the world. So we can also transmit the results that actually would be transferable to humans, not in all respects to him.”
“Which low doses of radiation effects in humans may have, but points to a study that was published in December 2010 in Germany. It states: Within a radius of 35 km around a nuclear plant are fewer girls were born in areas without nuclear power. We investigated the surroundings of 27 facilities in Germany and four in Switzerland. Fewer female births have been noted previously: In regions that were hit by the Chernobyl radioactive precipitation. It is believed that female embryos are more sensitive to radiation and therefore die rather than male.”
Look ten years into the future, what can we expect? Cancer is becoming killer number one. Cancer is a mutation. A mutation of cells. Cancer cells do not have a “Growth stop mechanism”. They are altered, Altered by radiation / radionuclide source number one: FOOD!
For the European Union So far had a radioactivity of cesium-134 and cesium-137 been allowed: a maximum of 600 becquerels per kilogram. The EU limit for food from affected areas in Japan, however, was significantly increased. Consumer organization FoodWatch (web) and the Environment Institute Munich announced in a joint statement, that: For example, should fish oil or spices to their previous value to twenty times higher than what corresponds to 12 500 becquerels per kilogram.
US is sacrificing it’s infants with food: 55 Bq/Kg Iodine 131 + 370 Bq/Kg Cesium 134 / 137http://www.fda.gov/Food/FoodSafety/FoodContaminantsAdulteration/ChemicalContaminants/Radionuclides/UCM078341#level98 Basics: “Clinical checks on children between 1996 and 1999 show that at levels greater than 50Bq/kg there are pathological changes in vital organs and systems – cardiovascular, nervous, endocrine, immune, reproductive, digestive excretory and eyes. Caesium concentrations in the placenta reveal a relationship with nervous system defects in the foetus. The health condition of the population is a disaster but being a physician myself I cannot accept it as hopeless. With all my faith in God and life I appeal to anyone who can influence it: do your best to improve the situation. There is nothing more precious on this planet than life. And we should do everything possible to protect it.” http://www.spokesmanbooks.com/Spokesman/PDF/91Gifford.pdf
Each nuclear power plant has a vent stack and a water drain pipe for radioactive substances such as tritium, carbon, strontium, iodine, caesium, plutonium, krypton, argon and xenon, which are dispersed in the air and contaminate both water and soil. They are deposited, enriched, taken up by organisms and, in some cases, even incorporated in the cells of the body, where the conditions are particularly favourable for them to be cancerogenic and mutagenic. The relevant authorities have approved the release of radioactive substances through exhaust air and wastewater. The following maximum levels are usually permitted: about 1 quadrillion becquerels of radioactive inert gases and carbon, 50 trillion becquerels of tritium, 30 billion becquerels of airborne radioactive particles and approx. 10 billion becquerels of radioactive iodine-131. Note that these are annual limits applying to each individual nuclear power plant. To check compliance, measurements are carried out at regular intervals – by the power plant operators themselves.

From a child in the future: “What are old persons?”
Dear readers, after I’ve found Chernobyl chanterelles in german supermarkets (namely ALDI, REWE, EDEKA), I informed many facebooks communities and informed german consumer organisation foodwatch. My letter and their answer here:
I did two well visitied articles here, on my blog, along with photos, deep inside Cesium information and some footage I’ve made in Chernobyl irradiated Belarus (where the Chanterelles come from):
Japan allows 500 Bequerel for irradiated food. Belarus even more. NO ONE can controll all food, water, land, air. No one! They export it, they import it, they eat it, and pregnant women and children and infants! I witness it in Belarus, each year.
“…To provide an adequate safety standard the dose limit of 1 mSv/y have to be reduced to 0.02 mSv/y or 20 µSv/y.”Page 9: http://www.staff.uni-marburg.de/~kunih/all-doc/stoakuni.pdf by Dr. Horst Kuni, Nuclear Medicine, University Professor.
QUOTE: “Dear Commissioner Dalli, Commissioner Oettinger, Minister Aigner and Minister Röttgen,
The nuclear disasters of Chernobyl and Fukushima will have long-term impacts on human health. Food from the affected regions will be radioactively contaminated for many decades. It is the task of European policymakers to protect the health of the population as effectively as possible. The current EU-wide limits for the radioactive contamination of foodstuffs do not guarantee an adequate level of health safety.
The permissible limits are too high: there are no “safe” limits for radioactivity because any dose of radiation, no matter how small, can cause serious diseases like cancer. Therefore, as a precautionary measure, radiation limits for food must be as strict as possible. The current limits, however, are irresponsibly high and tolerate an excessive rate of illness and fatality. They accept, for no good reason, a level of radiation exposure that far exceeds the exposure permitted by the German Radiation Protection Ordinance for normally operating nuclear facilities. Sufficient quantities of foods are available from safe regions. Therefore, there is simply no justification for consuming highly contaminated products from the regions affected by Chernobyl and Fukushima.
Current permissible limits are contradictory: many other countries, including Ukraine and Belarus, which were directly affected by the Chernobyl disaster, have set much stricter limits. The outcome of these policies: foods that are too highly contaminated for sale in these countries can still be imported quite legally by EU Member States and sold within Europe.
The EU has an obligation to act: based on the European fundamental rights, European policymakershave an obligation to minimise human exposure to radiation as much as possible. This is mandated both by the precautionary principle, which is part of the primary legislation of the EU, and by the basic right to life and physical integrity.
I therefore call on you to:
drastically reduce permissible limits for the contamination of foodstuffs with the radionuclide cesium: from the current 370 becquerels per kilogram (or 200 becquerels per kilogram for imports from Japan) to 8 becquerels per kilogram for baby food and milk products, as well as from the current 600 becquerels per kilogram (or 500 becquerels per kilogram for imports from Japan) to 16 becquerels per kilogram for all other foods. These limits would satisfy the requirements of the German Radiation Protection Ordinance, according to which a maximum annual exposure limit of 0.3 millisieverts is permitted from each exposure pathway (i.e. for the emission of radioactive substances from nuclear power plants through air or water). The fact that any dose of radiation, no matter how small, can have serious health consequences is reason enough to question the continued operation and construction of nuclear power plants.
implement zero-tolerance policies for the contamination of foodstuffs with radioactive iodine-131. Given the relatively short half-life of iodine-131, people should not be expected to eat food contaminated with this isotope: many foods can be stored – or, if applicable, frozen – until the isotope has decayed and the foods have become suitable for consumption.
establish a uniform limit system that applies equally to normal and emergency situations. Currently the European Commission has the power to relax the limits for foodstuffs following a nuclear accident – like the recent Fukushima disaster; moreover, the EC can take such action alone, without parliamentary control. This situation must be changed.”
More background on the deadly limit which harms our children and can kill them:
The European Union imports radioactive goods from areas with a maximum of 20 Milli Sievert per Year (official) AND MORE - that’s an equivalent of 50 (!) mammograms! FOR CHILDREN. This is dangerous and irresponsible.
So far had a radioactivity of cesium-134 and cesium-137 have been allowed by a maximum of 600 becquerels per kilogram. Since last weekend the EU limit for food from affected areas in Japan, however, was significantly increased. Consumer organization FoodWatch (web) and the Environment Institute Munich announced in a joint statement, that: For example, should fish oil or spices to their previous value to twenty times higher than what corresponds to 12 500 becquerels per kilogram.
The Consmer Protection Organisation “FOODWATCH” (web) discorvered, that of 8000 examined data 950 have more than 2 microgram of Uranium in one liter - that’s breaking the tolerance limit. Uranium in drinking water is dangerous for babies.
Adding to this: 150 data values are above the limit of 10 (!) microgram per liter. Is this still drinking water?
Worst of all: The German Authorities did not inform the German people about the Uranium in German drinking water – never did.
Only Foodwatch did it.
So, I sent them an E-Mail on August 7th 2008 regarding the shocking news of Uranium in drinking water. This was my Mail:
quote: “From 1st November 2011 in Germany can not flow more water from the tap, which contains more than 10 micrograms of uranium per liter. This is a great step forward for consumers, because so far there was no legal limit. For years foodwatch critical values was made public and called for a limit. Babies and toddlers are so but still not sufficiently protected.”
“This estimate does not include the dose from radioactive carbon (carbon 14) which, because of its 5730-year half-life, persists in the human food chain and has not yet taken its total human toll.” http://www.ratical.org/radiation/NRBE/NRBE12.html#Rfn35
“We are constantly being told about a ‘permissible amount of radiation.’ Who permitted it? Who has any right to permit it?” Albert Schweitzer
“The most important consideration is the generally accepted value judgment that early embryonic losses are of little personal or social concern.” Dr R. Mole, 1979, a member of ICRP – The international committee which makes the dose limits WORLDWIDE ignores LIFE. http://bjr.birjournals.org/content/52/614/89
What’s behind all this? What is low radiation everyone hears about these days? It’s a long, but interesting read:
The international radiation protection bodies such as ICRP, UNSCEAR and BEIR base their findings on the somatic damage (cancer, leukemia risks) mainly on studies of the victims of the nuclear tests of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, wo still lived in 1950. That’s right, not 1945, 1950! This study is called “T65D.” It was begun in 1950. The five years before that has not been studied. It was observed since 1950. About 800,000 Japanese people harmed by radiation, and the analysation of their causes of death. http://www.rerf.or.jp/glossary_e/t65d.htm and: http://www.rerf.or.jp/library/archives_e/lsstitle.html / For validation of this study the US even did an atomic test in Nevada: http://www.sciencemag.org/content/212/4497/900.extract
Quote “Radiation protection norms are a HOAX: “Since 1950, more than 90,000 of the survivors of the atomic bombings at Hiroshima and Nagasaki have been enrolled in a lifetime study of their health. The study, first conducted by the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission (ABCC), was transferred in 1975 to control by the Radiation Effects Research Foundation (RERF), which has its headquarters at 5-2 Hijiyama Park, Minami-Ku, Hiroshima 732, Japan. and true magnitude of the radiation risk. RERF is equally funded by the government of Japan through its Ministry of Health and Welfare and by the government of the United States via the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) under contract with the Department of Energy (DOE)…”
Each person has been exposed to a certain dose of radiation that had to be estimated later (!) Because of the location of the bomb explosion at the moment (T65D study). It is at HIGH DOSE SHORT TERM (explosion). This is in contrast to chronic low-level radiation. ICRP, UNSCEAR and BEIR exclude results that you get from high doses to the low dose effects. THIS IS A CRIME and unscientific and unethic.
So, why do ICRP, UNSCEAR, IAEA, all governments, health ministries, nuke plant operators and BEIR ignore this? There are many answers. And many many questions. All lead to one goal. More on that later. The first thing is, we have to think like the atomic industry. They want to protect their ideology of former US president Dwight Eisenhower’s “Atoms for Peace”. This was made public in 1953. But, that an atom can be peaceful is unobjective. A “peaceful” atomic program even increases the risk of proliferation: Those countries which have developed and built nuclear bombs in recent decades began with a civil nuclear program. However, these civil programs were often only a cover for their military interests and provided them with access to the technologies and know-how for the design of nuclear bombs. This fact shows that the export and further proliferation of nuclear technology significantly increases the risk of nuclear weapons proliferation. Iran: http://tekknorg.wordpress.com/2011/06/23/us-afghan-withdrawal-because-of-upcoming-nuclear-attack-on-iran/ Atomic energy is also often washed green, after reading this, it won’t work any longer: http://www.ratical.org/radiation/CNR/GreenDereg.html
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:
http://www.decc.gov.uk/assets/decc/11/meeting-energy-demand/consents-planning/nps2011/1925-appl-of-sust-of-revised-draft-en6.pdf basically: Money over Health – a licence to kill. In the beginning (before the h bomb test) 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): http://books.google.de/books?id=MHWEk6wZc10C&pg=RA1-PA139&dq=ICRP+ALARA+1973&hl=de&ei=yopBTvnUFNGdOpvpuagJ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CD4Q6AEwAw#v=onepage&q&f=false quote “…economic and social…” ETHIC is missing! – 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.The ICRP also says the set of radiation levels for anticipated activities should be determined by cost-benefit analysis. Your health is a cost-benefit issue during a atomic catastrophe. 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.
“Presently the international organizations (WHO, IAEA) recognize as the main cause of increase of thyroid cancer in liquidators and children population after the accident their irradiation with radioactive iodine, I-131. The rest of diseases, they suppose, are provoked by psycho-emotional reactions. ” http://www.rri.kyoto-u.ac.jp/NSRG/reports/kr21/kr21pdf/Burlakova.pdf The bimodal dependence of effects on dose was
revealed for all studied parameters. Namely, effects increased at low doses, reached maximum (for low doses), then decreased (in some cases the effect sign reversed) and thereafter increased with the increase of
dosage.
Why NUCLEAR reactors cause FOREST decline: “The plant must take in MUCH more air than animals to get enough carbon. Carbon 14 is produced by cosmic rays, bomb tests and nuclear power plants. By 1963, Carbon 14 in the Northern Hemisphere had increased by 100 percent, and by 1984, about one decade later, it had increased another 25 percent. An increase in radioactivity of only one percent eventually translates into a decline in tree growth of about 18 percent. It is interesting to note that a global increase of Carbon 14 – one such as has never before been seen – parallels the slowing growth and the endemic death of trees from Lebanon to the Himalayas. The decline of the forests has grown from a disturbing trend to a catastrophe of dramatic proportions. Hardly has one study on the subject been finished than it is surpassed by another bearing worse tidings. Not so long ago, the march of death was confined to certain species in certain locations – to day it is a virtually global epidemic. Fruit trees are showing the same symptoms as those of the forest. 30 percent of the fruit trees in the Canton of Thurgovi in Switzerland are destroyed. Now they fear the vineyards will follow.”
“We now have proof of the risk of interrupting the very basis of the life cycle of plants, animals and man – in brief, photosynthesis on Earth is endangered!”
“There is a fundamental difference between plants and animals, and this determines why plants are so much more sensitive to air pollution. We animals need air for its oxygen, to burn our food so as to obtain energy. The plant, however, gets almost all of its nutrition in the form of carbon, which is contained in the air in the form of carbonic acid (C02) and is made available to the plant through the process of photosynthesis.”
“The prodigious aeration of the plants explains their tremendous sensitivity to air pollution. The toxic effects of airborn pollutants show up earlier in plants than in the human.” http://www.nuclearreader.info/chapter3.html

Quote: “The victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and patients treated with X-rays because of such dubious indications as thymus hyperplasia demonstrate the exceptionally high sensitivity of children. However, the important discovery of Stewart and coworkers in 1958 , an enhancement of childhood leukaemia following diagnostic X-ray pictures during pregnancy, listed as historic milestone by Mossman also, has provoked a deep controversy. Their findings were an impressive support of the postulated linear non-threshold relationship for leukaemia” SOURCE Page 2: http://www.staff.uni-marburg.de/~kunih/all-doc/doserele.pdf
After an atomic war, the US government suggests 10 Gray (!!!) as an acceptable dose in one year for us: QUOTE “…Almost as soon as we had begun our work, a disturbing fact emerged. All the calculations made by government agencies as to the radiation protection necessary after a full-scale nuclear war were based on the assumption that the adult could tolerate the enormous dose of 200 rads spread over a few days and as much as 1000 rads over a year. Apparently it had been decided by the government’s scientific advisory groups that it was not necessary to take into account the long-range after-effects of radiation, either on the survivors themselves or on their offspring…” by Ernest Sternglass: http://www.nucleardemolition.com/SF.pdf, PAGE 22
Sternglass is an emeritus professor at the University of Pittsburgh and Director of the Radiation and Public Health Project. He is an American physicist and author, best known for his controversial research on the health risks of low-level radiation from atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons and from nuclear power plants. This is his study “Infant Mortality Changes Following the Three Mile Island Accident,” from 1980: http://atomichistory.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/sternglass_infantmortalitytmi.pdf quote “The discrepancy in infant deaths between the two sources for the period of April 1 through June 30, 1979, had been two; from October 1 through December 31 it had also been two. For eighty-eight to surface between July 1 and September 30, precisely in the controversial summer months after the TMI accident, seemed unlikely.”
Risk assessments of small radiation doses differ by two orders of magnitude, depending on whose theory they are applied to or which observed data is used. Unfortunately, this is not just an academic interest. The choice of a model for risk calculation can cause enormous Costs. Powerful outside interests are coming into play. The best illustration of this is the story of the BEIR III report: http://books.google.de/books?id=VAoAAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA3&lpg=PA3#v=onepage&q&f=false by Joseph Rotblat
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 now in Japan (Fukushima):
Discovered by Abraham Petkau, 1972. He discovered: that 26 RAD per Minute (fast radiation rate) need a total dose of 3500 RAD to harm a cell membrane. With 0,001 RAD per Minute (slow dose) only 0,7 RAD are needed to harm a cell membrane. The Mechanism behind it: The production of free radicals of Oxygen (O² with a negative electric charge) caused by ionising effect of the radiation. The free radicals caused by the slow dose (0,001) are sparsely distributed radicals do have a higher chance to reach the cell membranes. Why: The free radicals of the fast radiation rate (26) are tight together and so they react faster with each other. The low electric charge of the cell membranes attract the free radicals in the early state of the reaction (minor total dose).
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.
If the harmed cells are monocytes this will cause: Anemia, because the monocytes recycle 37 – 40 % of the iron of dying red blood cells. 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. Routine radioactive emissions are dangerous because they are the main source of low-level radiation. Strong radiation comes from large accidents. Petkau discovered that the response is logarithmic to radiation, that means, concave downward. So the risk is higher at low doses of radiation than larger ones. The damage to the immune system due to low-level radiation can be controlled to some extent by measures that strengthen the immune system: antioxidant, vitamin C, vitamin E. The biochemical mechanisms by which the immune system is damaged, are different from the damage to the DNA caused by high radiation doses. If you have low-level radiation in addition to other mechanisms, the formation of free radicals by antioxidants such as vitamin C or E can be lifted. The only way to really deal with the problem of low-level radiation, is, as soon as possible to switch off any atomic reactor .

Radiation particles, directly hit the protoplasm and not the nucleus. they leave behind damage, which is only noticeable when these cells divide again. So instabilities occur in the chromosomes, the genes and genetic information. Instabilities that are not visible in the first, but especially in the second and third generation increase disease susceptibility: http://www.independentwho.info/Presse_ecrite/09_05_27_Salzburger_DE.pdf
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.
Internal irradiation happens when radioactive material is ingested into the body(…) Inhaling even the tiniest particle, that’s the danger. making comparisons with X-rays and CT scans has no meaning. Because you can breathe in radioactive material… quote: http://www.independentwho.info/Presse_ecrite/11_03_28_TakashiHirose_EN.pdf
For years, scientists have established a causal relationship between radiation exposure and hypothyroidism. In particular, radioactive iodine (which seeks out the thyroid gland, and destroys cells) is linked with the disease. Here it is: “GEOGRAPHIC VARIATION IN U.S. THYROID CANCER INCIDENCE, AND A CLUSTER NEAR NUCLEAR REACTORS IN NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, AND PENNSYLVANIA” http://www.radiation.org/reading/pubs/091116Thyroidcancer.pdf During pregnancy, thyroid gland controls Brain Growth of Fetus
Then, Chernobyl and Fukushima were used to increase background radiation – in order to accelerate and alter evolution. Please keep in mind, that it was natural radiation (not man made) that caused EVOLUTION, but also mutation, diabilities and cancer. Quote “When I looked back to see what was said to be the radiation level–just in North America–it used to be that we got sixty millirem a year background radiation–that was the measurement. Then it went up to about a hundred. And then I heard a hundred and twenty and they’re now saying two hundred. Now there are some reasons for it. That first number, sixty, didn’t have radon gas in it. Radon gas is generally released by uranium mining and it now bathes all of North America and it’s pocketed more in some places than others. Also our construction has dug into ore beds and we’ve released a lot of radiation. “ – source: http://www.ratical.org/radiation/inetSeries/RB89.html
“People who live along a transportation route are assumed automatically by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to get the equivalent of two or three chest X-rays a year–just if you live along the transportation route. That means no accident, no stopping, no nothing.” quote from: http://www.ratical.org/radiation/inetSeries/RB89.html
Prof. Jacobi – Director of the Institute for Radiation Protection of the Society for Radiation and Environmental Research Ltd. Munich (http://www.iaea.org/inis/collection/NCLCollectionStore/_Public/04/091/4091257.pdf) – Neaherbergm, said in his speech from March 3rd 1973, that he is representing a maximum acceptable radiation risk of the population (without asking them!) and assumed that a civilizational radiation risk exists only when it is visible. The risk would be only low (and therefore should be acceptable and useful), that in the existing natural (spontaneous) frequency of cancer of the total population it would be not detected! For Germany, it seemed (in 2350 spontaneous cancer deaths per million inhabitants), a maximum of ten deaths per year and per million inhabitants is ACCEPTABLE! That makes (80 million people in Germany) 800 cancer deaths by nuclear power stations per year, ACCEPTABLE! Is this still a democracy? Such a drug might would have never get the permission to come on the market! But it is nuclear energy, which is allowed! Thus ANY MURDER WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE, because people die anyway!
Quote: “One also needs to recognise that practically all protection measures undertaken in the USSR after the accident at the Chernobyl NPP have failed, such as iodine prophylactics, ban on consumption of contaminated foodstuffs, decontamination of affected settlements, attempts to improve the life standards in the affected areas, etc. The same happened to the state financial support of the people from the affected territories because the inevitably arbitrary allocations have produced an opposite effect, i.e. feeling of inequality and jealousy.” – PAGE 4, left bottom: http://www.rri.kyoto-u.ac.jp/NSRG/reports/kr21/kr21pdf/Malko3.pdf ALSO on PAGE 4: right, top: The “350 mSv Concept” – which is an equivalent of 500 mammograms per year! For Children!
Remember: Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology says 3.8 microsieverts per hour o.k., that’s more than 33 millisieverts (mSv) per year. For children, kindergartens, nursery, primary and junior high schools. That’s an equivalent of 50 mammograms. And now add the irradiated food, the irradiatesd water… add the altered genes, mixed up now and in future generations. Human Fetus radiation tolerance: ZERO.

This is proven also by the Bob Hopkins study from 1973. The Department of Public Health proved with the study of Kurihara “cancer mortality for selected sites in 24 countries japan society” from nov 1972 Tohoku /Japan, that there was an 600 % increase in children mortality of japanese chidren age 5 till 9 years, after the Hrioshima and Nagasaki atomic test.

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-17-2011.pdf – 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
“But tritium can be deadly (…) However tritium behaves chemically and biochemically like ordinary hydrogen. When ingested, it can incorporate itself into all forms of body cells, including those of the reproductive system…” Source: http://ratical.org/radiation/KillingOurOwn/KOO10.html
Japan officials are going to call radiation measurements illegal and that they are disturbing the industry. Health plays no role. They are adapting the IAEA ideology of Radiophobia: The fear of radiation is worse than the radiation.

And we, the “other” people are also radiation victims, weknow nothing about the global radiation: There are 60 certified radionuclide stations fully equipped with high precision detectors that are set up around the world to monitor airborne radioactivity on a daily basis with unprecedented accuracy.

Krypton 85 is emitted from nuclear power plants and bruises the skin on more than 2 millimeters, which could be the cause for skin cancer. W.L. Boeck – President of the krypton 85 Working Group of the IAEA said in 1976 that the electrical conductivity of the air over oceans could be increased by 43 %. Result would be more lightning and unexpected weather phenomena: http://www.sciencemag.org/content/193/4249/195.extract
It also seems that low radiation kills us, by weakening of our immune system, thus we become more vulnerable to simple diseases. For example, accumulation of allergies.. large parts of the population can be so in 10 years or more, simply shut down: http://books.google.de/books?id=gjIzAAAAMAAJ – it’s some kind of genetic clean out.

More about latency and leukemia: “Once the latency period has passed, a certain type of cancer will continue to appear year after year in a group of humans subjected years before to known ionizing radiation. Acute leukemias due to irradiation continue to appear in apparently undiminished numbers, consistently even 20 years after the Hiroshima-Nagasaki bombing. One form of leukemia, so-called chronic myelogenous leukemia, seems to appear among the exposed population steadily over a period of about 10 years and then to appear less frequently.” SOURCE: http://ratical.org/radiation/CNR/PP/chp3.html Table of Contents: http://ratical.org/radiation/CNR/PP/index.html#TOC
The cancer risk of a child can be doubled by one or two x-rays (10 – 20 mGy) on the pregnant mother before the birth of the child, if it is done in the last months before birth.

The IAEA is everywhere, this watchdog is an advertising agency for the military and the atomic industry. They even gagged the WHO. This is how they work: By mid 1998 first draft of the Guidelines was circulating between IAEA and WHO at the management level. Although there had been a clear agreement between the two organisations at the management level and the work had taken place openly the IAEA withdrew at that stage strongly advising that the whole issue should either be dropped or revised. The issue was the proposal to lower the action level for implementation from 100mGy to 10mGy dose to the thyroid’s of children.”
Rosa Goncharova‘s geneticist. In the Belarusian capital Minsk, she directs the laboratory of the Institute of Genetics and Cytology of the Belorussian Academy of Sciences. For decades, the research professor and her team investigated the effects of long-lasting radioactive low-level radiation.
What harm take people living in contaminated areas?
“Must live”, because there are 2600 villages that should relocate. Rosa Gonchrova summarizes the results of their studies (in german):
“One of the main lessons learned from Chernobyl is the fact that even low doses of ionizing radiation in animals and humans have biological and genetic consequences. This is now proven. They produce damage in the body cells and in the sex cells. Even at a low dose of less than 100 micro Sievert and even years at a tolerated dose of one millisievert were identified in our laboratory genetic changes.”
“About one Milllisievert per year: This is the annual dose limit for people who do not work professionally with ionizing radiations. For occupationally exposed persons in Europe are higher limits. The research team has identified mutations, ie changes in the genes of the nucleus.”
“Man, like every other living being possesses, protection systems, the repair such mutations almost. If there is now under the influence of radioactivity additional mutations, the organism will be charged additionally, he must also fight against it.”
“For these children we have found changes in individual genes. And the worst part is that these children show an increased sensitivity to other unfavorable factors. That is, these children fall ill more frequently than others. Among the unfavorable factors include poor diet, environmental factors, chemical pollution. This is true not only for children but for adults too. They all have an increased sensitivity to other unfavorable factors.”
“In plain English: who spends his life in contaminated areas spend, must, whose immune system is weakened.”
Radioactivity, as it opens the doors for other health problems.
The most dangerous radiation is which is ingested with food. Thus, for example, cesium-137 from the inside to act on the cells, because it displaces the vital potassium in muscle tissue. Or strontium-90, a radionuclide that accumulates in the bone and bone marrow: there can damage blood cells and can cause cancer such as blood.”
- On the question of whether changes in the genetic inheritance of future generations, says geneticist Rose Goncharova: “We demonstrated in our laboratory for the first time that genetic changes over generations may be swept on. We have found after Chernobyl more than 22 animal generations of genetic instability. There are animals that live in the contaminated areas who have to live under the influence of low doses. We have been scientifically proven.”
“This has been proven in one of the most common mammals in the bank vole. The cells of these mice were well comparable with those of humans, says the researcher. Therefore one can transmit many findings to him.”
“Even after 22 generations of mice you can still see changes, mutations. They are inherited. The radioactivity is harmful. So it happens that many offspring do not survive or even many embryos. Those who survive are somehow cope with the situation. But whose genome is unstable, and they also pass into the next generation. And often they are ill. Their whole system is more unstable than in other animals.”
“The mortality rate in these animals is very, very high. Mice produce very many offspring, and therefore they can afford a high death rate. Man, however, will usually produce only one child. In any case, not five, six, seven at once. He also does not bring several generations in a year or during his life to the world. So we can also transmit the results that actually would be transferable to humans, not in all respects to him.”
“Which low doses of radiation effects in humans may have, but points to a study that was published in December 2010 in Germany. It states: Within a radius of 35 km around a nuclear plant are fewer girls were born in areas without nuclear power. We investigated the surroundings of 27 facilities in Germany and four in Switzerland. Fewer female births have been noted previously: In regions that were hit by the Chernobyl radioactive precipitation. It is believed that female embryos are more sensitive to radiation and therefore die rather than male.”
Then: The dose of cesium 137 and strontium 90, which causes stomach cancer is less than 1 Centigray per year. At the same time, the IAEA said that this dose is about 100 per year Centigray. Both results are from the same foundations. In animals, resulting in about 25MsV reparation, there is no lack of effects at radiation doses below 1 Centigray. (P.143 of the book “IPPNW” (peace nobel prize) people’s tribunal 1996 Chernobyl”. quote by Dr. Katsumi Furitsu, Osaka, Japan. I’ve met her:
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.
Last but not least, we should know, that atomic reactors and atomic bombs are siamese twins:
The Atomic Explosion at an Atomic Reactor – THIS COULD BE THE FINAL BLOW against the atomic industry ONCE AND FOREVER!
Chernobyl too, but this is IGNORED by today’s science:http://tekknorg.wordpress.com/2011/03/16/fukushima-chernobyl-unofficial-data/ Dr. Chris Busby Believes Fukushima Was A Nuclear Explosion :http://www.rense.com/general93/chrisbsy.htm AND: University of Innsbruck says Chernobyl was primarily caused by a NUCLEAR EXPLOSION – Page 1, left: translation: “… the one Nuclear explosion, and finally a meltdown followed by “: http://physik.uibk.ac.at/physik4/tschernobyl/2-Der_Unfall.pdf AND: “Some specialists are sure that after the steam explosion a nuclear explosion similar to an atomic bomb explosion occurred in the core of the 4th Unit . Its power had to be much higher than power of the steam explosion. The conclusion of the authors is based on experimental findings established by studying of activities of isotopes 133Xe and 133Xem in the air that existed in the first days after the Chernobyl accident. Their study was carried out in the city Cherepovets that is about 1,000 km in north direction from the Chernobyl NPP. The authors could find that the ratio of activities of these isotopes is the same as in the case of nuclear explosion.” SOURCE: http://www.rri.kyoto-u.ac.jp/NSRG/reports/kr79/kr79pdf/Malko1.pdf — TO ALL: Plese help finding this: “Martinez Val, Jose M., Aragones, Jose M., Mingues, Emilio, Perlado, Jose M., Velarade, Guillermio.

the forcible pollution by all of us by the nuclear industry / military is irresponsible. Natural radiation is dangerous and leads to spontaneous mutations, and diseases. We can not accept such a thing as a reason to add yet more radiation because it is passed on from living creature to living creature and from generation to generation.
maybe they can destroy the democracy, make us sick. But not our courage.
