A senior nuclear adviser to the Japanese Prime Minister, professor Toshiso Kosako resigned in protest from his government. This as the Japanese government raised the level of permissible exposure to schoolchildren twenty fold, from 1mSv/year to 20mSv.

The atomic power industry, it can be proved, has been an unprecedented catastrophe for mankind.

One of the world's leading experts on radionuclide contamination is Dr. Yury Bandashevsky based in Minsk, Belarus. Near Chernobyl's "ground zero" Bandazhevsky has published hundreds of scientific papers and has studied the radioactive contamination absorbed by children there for decades.

The parents of northern Japan had best investigate Dr. Bandashevsky's dietary recommendations. He's found that apple pectin helps remove radioactive cesium-137 from the body.

-snip says the Japanese are in for a shock re: the contaminated food/seafood and that newly pregnant women should flee northern Japan immediately and that Plutonium, the most toxic substance on earth has been found at 8 monitoring stations, etc.-

and all of it is continuing to get worse by the minute.

1. Same as if they ate bananas or travelled by jet, right?

:sarcasm:

2. But if they go to school in a brick building? OH NOES!

3. 20% of the children in Belarus

are HEALTHY. 20%. 80% are affected by birth defects, mental retardation, cancers, etc. ad nauseum.
Won't anyone think of the CHILDREN?

4. Had a friend back when Chernobyl happened.

She and her husband decided to become missionaries. Their first assignment was Belarus, about a year and a half after Chernobyl occurred.
They had a 3 year old and an infant. They thought the Lord would protect them. :banghead:

5. Last week I attended an exhibition

dedicated to keeping the reality of the ONGOING effects of Tschernobyl in the public eye. There I met 2 women speakers, my age, both of whom had lost their husbands to radiation poisoning and both of whom were dealing with sick children and their own health problems. I also had an opportunity to talk with an oncologist who has been working in the area for the last decade.

I was not shocked by anything presented. They were surprised that I, as an American, was so aware of what was happening there.
It's all just so sad and stupid, Lars. I raised my first objections to nuclear facilities when I was 10. My argument was we didn't know what to do with the waste, its pollution was not easily perceived and the risk/benefit was skewed by half-life.

I was subsequently sent to the principal's office for declaring during a duck and cover drill that if a nuke were dropped on D.C. jumping under the desks would not help. Some classmates started crying and off I went for punishment.

That was 50 FUCKING YEARS AGO, Lars...
