On the 28th anniversary of the Chernobyl melt down, Spanish ecologists have discovered that long term radiation exposure is actually a benefit: “Previous studies of wildlife at Chernobyl showed that chronic radiation exposure depleted antioxidants and increased oxidative damage. We found the opposite, that antioxidant levels increased and oxidative stress decreased with increasing background radiation.”-Ismael Galván, Spanish National Research Council
The ecologists studied 16 species of birds, in areas that had background radiation levels as high as 92.9 microSieverts per hour. They found there was no damage to the birds’ DNA, because specific antioxidants in the birds had increased making them stronger.
And don’t forget those recent documentaries about wolves and other four legged animals who seem to be more than thriving in the Chernobyl area.
An update on the West Lake Landfill in Bridgeton, Missouri U.S.A. : Independent testing confirm increased radiation outside the nuclear dump, in a local park and residential areas. Just today, residents doing their own monitoring reported a rise in radiation levels in a ditch near the Bridgeton Municipal Athletic Complex.
In New Mexico U.S.A., the Department of Energy slammed the operators of the military’s Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) saying they were too incompetent to “…..fully understand, characterize and control the radiological hazard.”
It was also discovered that air filtration systems at WIPP were inadequate for the job, and actually reduced “the overall efficiency of the HEPA filter system”. The DoE report directly blames the WIPP contractor, Nuclear Waste Partnership, for causing the ‘accident’ due to their lackadaisical management, training and maintenance programs.
The special WIPP investigation team reported they have yet to find any physical evidence of what is causing the radiation leaks! At least 21 WIPP workers were contaminated.
In Japan, it has been revealed that the GE designed, and Tokyo Electric Power Company managed, Fukushima Daiichi nuke plant suffered more than just three melt downs. It’s being called melt-outs!
After three years the cores of the reactors have yet to be found. Three years ago, in several of my posting I posited that based on the type of isotopes being found outside the reactors that the cores were melting and spewing forth into the ocean and atmosphere.
Radiation was being found in trash incinerators as far away as Tokyo. Now there are reports of Black Dirt/Black Road Dust that’s being found, and it’s highly radioactive. Some scientist call Black Dirt the hard to prove “hot particles”, that are actually more dangerous than other forms of radiation contamination.
Researchers concluded: “The observed activity ratios for 236U[uranium]/239+240Pu[plutonium] were in reasonable agreement with those calculated for the fuel core inventories, indicating that trace amounts of U from the fuel cores were released together with Pu isotopes but without large fractionation……….this is the first report to give a quantitative estimation of the amount discharged. Appreciable fractionation between volatile and refractory radionuclides associated with the dispersal/deposition processes with distance from the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant was found.”–Isotopic Compositions of 236U and Pu Isotopes in “Black Substances” Collected from Roadsides in Fukushima Prefecture: Fallout from the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant Accident
The former mayor of Futaba Town went on Russian TV to expose the lies about Fukushima Daiichi, and accused the U.S. puppet government of Japan of intentionally killing people by forcing them to return to highly contaminated areas: “…..radiation is still there. This is killing children. They die of heart conditions, asthma, leukemia, thyroiditis… Lots of kids are extremely exhausted after school; others are simply unable to attend PE classes. But the authorities still hide the truth from us, and I don’t know why. Don’t they have children of their own? It hurts so much to know they can’t protect our children. They say Fukushima Prefecture is safe, and that’s why nobody’s working to evacuate children, move them elsewhere. We’re not even allowed to discuss this!………Japan has some dark history. This is a sort of a sacrifice to the past.”-Idogawa Katsutaka
