Cancer “epidemic” in the Young as Radioactive Wastes are Increasingly Dispersed to the Environment meanwhile Nuclear given “green” status in Brussels.

“Decommissioning” old and redundant nuclear plants sounds great and is greenwashed by the nuclear industry and Government as “Nuclear Restoration Services” . But in reality “decommissioning” means dispersal of nuclear wastes to the air, sea and land. Laws have been changed (despite opposition by Radiation Free Lakeland and others) to facilitate this by “moving waste …

Rosalie Bertell, PhD (1929-2012), was a biometrist – a mathematician who analyzed risks to health from radiation and pollution. In this interview she mainly tells about her research on radiation and cancer, which led to restricting X-rays to diagnostic uses, revealed how above-ground nuclear testing had led to elevated breast cancer cohorts, and helped prevent …

This monday in #Whitehaven from 1pm till 3pm raising awareness of the ongoing pollution going into the harbour and the sea from old mines. Bring your creativity – I will be doing a painting and there will be art materials for others who would like to get creative. Photos of artworks to be sent to the authorities who have let this pollution happen and done nothing to stop it continuing. It is now acknowledged that acid mine pollution multiplies the impacts of radioactivity which is particularly alarming in West Cumbria with known burden of radioactivity in the Irish Sea from #sellafield. March 11th is also the anniversary of #Fukushima so we will be remembering the ongoing disaster in Japan with its outpouring of radioactivity into the Pacific and questioning man’s ongoing hubris.
