When it comes to the truth about radiation and health effects, there are no experts who are honest - not in government, not in science, not anywhere. Yet, people would rather listen to liars than challenge their assumptions about the sources of the so-called truth and disregard the purveyors of actual truth on this topic: the non-creditialed self-taught. - Andrew Kishner, May 18, 2013

July 26, 2012 - Japan's Government Again Downplays Strontium Threat

Strontium-90 values of monthly-tested dry & wet deposition samples for 10 prefectures around Tokyo through the end of 2011, which were released by Japan's science ministry on July 24th, indicate a maximum concentration of the bone-seeking isotope of 6.0 becquerels per square meter in Hitachinaka (Ibaraki Pref.) in March '11. Blogger 'EXSKF' notes that many data points of monthly strontium-90 depositions in various prefectures from the end of March through November 2011 were inexplicably left out in the ministry's July 24 press release [English summary] apparently because of an arbitrary decision that the fallout was not considered to be the result of the Fukushima accident. Also, Simplyinfo.org (a project of Nancy Foust, who TEPCO in April 2011 accused of wrongdoing because she hosted on her website a 'confidential' Daiichi Unit 1 blueprint graphic she had downloaded from Google Images, and Dean Wilkie, a retired Department of Energy test reactor operator/manager at the Idaho National Laboratory) observed that the data shows a 'drastic drop of stronium 90 levels after April in some areas,' which has no explanation. Simplyinfo.org made a compiled map of the March-April readings. (The blog 'Fukushima Diary' pointed out that the ministry's data, which also included radiocesium values, indicated that in February 2011, the month preceding the meltdowns, cesium-134+137 depositions in Hitachinaka City (Ibaraki), Tokyo and Kanagawa were 3.2, 5.5 and 28 megabecquerels per square kilometer, respectively, which were higher than some corresponding December 2011 figures for those cities and begs the question: why didn't we flip out about resuspended fallout and reactor pollution before Fukushima?)

There was no mention in news reports following the science ministry's press release about the detection of a strontium-90 rooftop hotspot near Tokyo in September '11 nor about the sister isotope to strontium-90, strontium-89. Taking the upper-range ratio of strontium-89 to strontium-90 determined in a 2011 study of 18.3:1, strontium-89 in March 2011 in Hitachinaka could have reached 110 becquerels per cubic meter (Bq/m2), which is not a low level considering that the all-time-peak monthly deposition of strontium-89 (in the 1960s) in Italy was 1,074 Bq/m2, and in Montreal and Winnepeg was 896 Bq/m2 and 811 Bq/m2, respectively. Japan's science ministry's data values also carry a large margin of error because humidity, washoff by rain, size and solubility of dust particles, wind direction (movement of dust) and other factors confound the reliability of dry & wet deposition collection methods. It is apparent that Japan's government's refusal to rely on a better monitoring method, and one that would better indicate internal contamination, for radiostrontiums is deliberate. When viewed in a moral and informed judicial perspective, however, it should be evident that Japan's government, as well as TEPCO, should have to prove that they DIDN'T cause all possible radiation-induced injuries and deaths in Japan on account of their negligent failure to test soil, bone and milk (and other foods) for radio-strontiums and other internal emitters throughout 2011.

July 23, 2012 - Controversial Subcritical Nuclear Experiment Planned This Year by U.S.: This Time It is Closer to A Nuclear Test Than Ever Before

The U.S. Department of Energy is planning to conduct a 'scaled subcritical experiment' sometime before this fall as part of its 'Gemini Project' which includes a confirmatory and a subcritical experiment that have been named 'Castor' and 'Pollux,' respectively. A scaled subcritical experiment differs from an ordinary subcritical nuclear experiment (SNE) of which the U.S. has conducted 26 since 1997. The latest SNE conducted was 'Barolo B' on February 2, 2011. The scaled subcritical nuclear test will have all the hallmarks of an underground nuclear test: it will (a) be held underground, (b) involve a (scaled down model) warhead primary detonation system, and (c) entail the use of plutonium-239 (weapons grade), however the testing 'device' will be a fractional (one-eighth to seven-tenth) scale model of an actual nuclear bomb device. Although using half (to pick an arbitrary fraction) of the ordinary amount of plutonium in a nuclear bomb and placing it in a half-size replica of an ordinary primary will not result in criticality (or positive yield), who is to say the U.S. won't apply enhanced explosive compression to the subcritical plutonium sphere which could result in a low yield 'hydronuclear' blast? Since the U.S. hasn't ratified the CTBT treaty which would enable independent verification, this very possibility is probably being imagined in the minds of the Chinese, North Koreans, Iranians and Russians, who are not stupid. They know this scaled plutonium-239 subcritical nuclear experiment is probably the closest the U.S. has come to conducting a nuclear test since the U.S.'s N-testing moratorium in 1992. Who in this list of nations will be provoked first, what will they do or say, and what kind of military-themed, disassociated counter-reaction (e.g., attack on Iran? New missile shield?) by the U.S. will result?

More about this in the coming weeks. Important questions will be answered, such as: are scaled tests 'new activities' that require an EIS or EIS-Supplement? What are the proliferation consequences of this new type of testing, which is unprecedented (detonating plutonium-239 in shrunken model warheads)? Did or did not Congress say it wouldn't fund these activities? What did an investigatory panel conclude about these scaled tests? What will be the international impact if the U.S. fails to honor its commitment to a 48-hour advance notice of subcritical tests that it initiated in 1997 as a courtesy gesture yet abandoned several years ago?

July 12, 2012 - Cesium-134 from Fukushima found in California Prunes and Almond Nuts

A Japanese organization that tested two food items grown in California in 2011 for radioactivity found detectable levels of cesium-134, which scientists agree could only have come from the Fukushima disaster. The two food items tested were prunes and almond nuts. Cesium-137 was also found in the samples in slightly greater amounts than cesium-134.

Much of the detected cesium-137 is probably from Fukushima because scientists have been finding that food items contaminated by Fukushima usually contain equal amounts - at a 1:1 ratio - of cesium-134 and non-'background' cesium-137.

The levels of cesium-134 ranged from 0.07-0.08 Becquerels per kilogram in the snack items. The cesium-137 values ranged from 0.10 to 0.11 Becquerels per kilogram in those items. In the U.S., the dietary intake of cesium-137 reached all-time peaks in some cities at 200 picocuries/day in 1963-1964. This was related to the atmospheric nuclear weapons tests. During that time, most U.S. foods contained cesium-137 at levels between 5 pCi/kg and 300 or 400 pCi/kg. Read more in 'How Fukushima Created a 'Hotspot' in California'.

July 1, 2012 - In northeast Japan, cesium in children's urine approaching 10-20% of Marshallese burdens in 1970s - Additional considerations: other isotopes and radioactive stool

The results of a study that measured radioactive cesium levels in the urine of 2,022 infants and children in Fukushima Prefecture were published on July 1, 2012 in Kyodo News. One urine sample contained 17.5 becquerels or 473 picocuries per kilogram of cesium; and two others contained more than 10 becquerels or 270 picocuries per kilogram.

In late April 2012, the Japanese media reported on a study by Iwate prefecture that found that 90% of urine samples in adults and children contained cesium-137 (source). The peak value from that survey was 6 Bq or 162 pci/L.

ACRO, or Association pour le Controle de la Radioactivite de l'Ouest, an independent radiation testing lab in France, has been helping Japanese citizens with their requests for third-party measurements of soil, food and urine, among other 'media' since 3/11. In June 2011, ACRO released the results of its first survey of urine specimens of children living near Fukushima (living within 60 kilometers). The survey found that 10 of 10 urine samples were contaminated with cs-137 and cs-134. A follow-up study that expanded the survey to include 15 children found that those who had not evacuated Fukushima Prefecture before June 1, 2011 were still contaminated by late July (their urine tested positive for either or both cs-134+137). (1)(2) ARCO wrote on their website that 'all the 15 children from Fukushima have or had their urine contaminated [from Fukushima],' and added the following, which reflects on the urine-contamination findings reported in the Japanese media: 'While the tests performed by the Japanese authorities give about one child from Fukushima out of two that is contaminated, we get 100%. This reflects the fact that the official measurements are not accurate enough and did not detect all contaminations.'{emphasis ours, and theirs} ACRO also noted that variation in urine levels of two classmates (U11, U12) was probably due to diet: 'The difference in the contamination could be due to food.' A similar conclusion was made when a later laboratory test of urine samples from Tokyo children resulted in a first-ever positive detect for cesiums for that region. ACRO stated: 'This probably comes from the diet.' (The latest ACRO urine survey, published in February 2012, found 'urines are still contaminated almost one year after 3/11 and are contaminated in places located as far as Oshu (Iwate Pref.) at about 220 km from the NPP.')

In November 2011, Professor Christopher Busby wrote in a personal statement published on the web that he began working with a male colleague 'to set up an independent lab in Japan where food or other samples could be brought for analysis. He believed (correctly) that the official measurements were being falsified and felt that independent analysis was needed.' Note the word in parentheses in Dr. Busby's narrative: correctly.

We CANNOT trust the laboratory results of the Japanese government and even government funded-institutes. The internal contamination of the Japanese people from Fukushima poisons is much worse than the government is letting on. The tests on urine in Japanese labs are probably being falsified in some way - this shouldn't be surprising since it is happening in the U.S. government labs too (and as recently as early 2012). In Japan, there have been virtually zero measurements of plutonium or strontium in food or drinking water (and none for urine). Why? It is part of a conspiracy to distract the Japanese people from knowing about the gravest threat to their health from Fukushima: 'internal contaminants,' the worst offenders being strontium-89/90 and plutonium. If no one is testing for these radioisotopes - because of such lies as 'plutonium is too heavy' to travel by air - and no one of credibility mentions that they should be assigned significance in the discussion about Fukushima health effects, then they are forgotten. They are not even being tested for in children's urine, or the place where they easily accumulate: the teeth (and, generally, the skeleton).

But we know from the basics about volatilization that plutonium and strontium were both released as steam during the meltdowns, and still to this day. And we know from past (albeit unethical) studies of humans that where there's cesium in urine, strontium and plutonium could be there as well. With respect to the Marshallese (who?), below is a chart showing composite data of radionuclide levels in urine as an indicator of what levels of other radionuclides could also be in Japanese peoples' urine (chart depicts pci/L which is roughly the same as pci/kg). Read more in the section 'Medical abnormalities after the return' in Chapter 6 of 'U.S.A.: The Original Nuclear Miscreant,' which describes the increases in deaths and diseases that were linked to the long-term exposures of a group of Pacific islanders to their radioactive environment (similar in contamination level to parts of inhabited Fukushima Prefecture).

So, we must be asking questions: such as what are the levels of strontium-90 or plutonium-239 in the subjects' urine? Also, urine is an indicator of a much, much larger concentration in stool - or fecal matter. In the early 1960s, Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) scientists took back some of the food grown on Rongelap Island to see for themselves what it would do to them in terms of body level flux of Strontium-90 and Cesium-137. Under 'controlled conditions,' they ate the foods for seven days and 'Urinary and fecal specimens were collected and whole body counting measurements were made over a period of 180 days.' Their findings: 'The intake of strontium-90 over a seven day period was twenty times higher than normal and that of cesium-137, sixty times higher than normal.'

Clearly you can see for yourself in the chart that eating Rongelapese food for just 7 days by the BNL scientists increased their body levels - and body waste levels - to 20 times their normal (Sr90) levels. Stool has more toxicity - it is more concentrated, than urine. Think of the effects on the organs involved in excreting matter (intestines, colon, anus, etc...) Also notice the chart shows that after the 'Rongelap 7-day poison diet' BNL scientists couldn't rid their bodies of the poisons quick enough - it would take nearly half a year to get back to normal. The Rongelapese didn't get a break from their diet until they self-evacuated against the advice of the U.S. government in the mid-1980s. That's the same scenario at Fukushima. Until they evacuate, the Fukushima hibakusha's body and body-waste burdens of radioactive poisons will remain elevated - their excreta levels will never decrease. The BNL staff's exposure was an acute experience. Fukushima residents are receiving chronic exposures. More in Appendix 6 of 'U.S.A.: The Original Nuclear Miscreant'.

June 26, 2012 - Is Reactor 4's Demolition Sending Radiological Plumes Across Japan? @ our Facebook page.

The concrete containment structure around a nuclear reactor becomes contaminated in many ways, all from radioactive sources *within* the reactor building. These sources include: leaked radioactive particles, or radioactive gases that precipitate inside the reactor building into solids, which stick to the concrete; liquids that penetrate the cracks of the building; and neutron bombardment (neutrons that penetrate the reactor pressure vessel from the reactor and bombard the chemicals in the concrete, forming radioactive chemicals). Neutron bombardment weakens both steel and concrete and the severity of material embrittlement is correlated with the duration of operation of the reactor. During de-commissioning, there are many ways to deal with concrete from the containment building. Recycling it is not one of them. The reason why the concrete in the containment building is prohibited from being ground-up and re-used is that the concrete is radioactive. One option is to rubblize it and bury it. Wikipedia notes that during the 'rubblization' option for reactor decommissioning, '...above-grade structures, including the concrete containment building, are demolished into rubble and buried in the structure's foundation below ground. The site surface is then covered, regraded and, landscaped for unrestricted use.' TEPCO is now blasting the concrete outer walls of Unit 4 apart and letting the dust fly with the wind. Consider how much radiation was released during the March 2011 meltdowns that undoubtedly got stuck on all sides of the concrete walls - which is making the other reactor sites 'too hot' to approach. Please read more in the Facebook post and see the video of the demolition.

June 22, 2012 - Get Out of the Rain: Fukushima Fallout Found In the Stratosphere - Will Contaminate Foods Beyond 2020

Radioactive particulates from Fukushima's spring 2011 plumes have not completely settled to the ground. An unknown quantity is stuck in the upper atmosphere where storms will force it down to Earth in the years to come.

Following the nuclear meltdown accidents at Fukushima Daiichi in March 2011, the atmospheric trajectories of radioactive emissions across the Northern Hemisphere were unknown. Although no one could accurately predict the times of arrival or the worst impacted locations of the Northern Hemisphere by the plumes, it seemed convincing to me the conclusion of most experts speaking to the press that the meltdowns would at least result in plumes traveling at the lowest altitude, or ground-level.

In 2012, a team of scientists at a conference in Berlin, Germany, presented their findings that both xenon-133 gas and sulfur dioxide - an atmospheric pollutant - traced to East Asia were lifted in March 2011 into the upper atmosphere via a warm 'conveyor belt' associated with a West-Pacific cyclone. Because it is a very short-lived radioactive gas, the detected xenon-133 associated with this 'air mass uplift event' was undeniably linked to releases at Fukushima. A study by a German Ph.D. candidate determined that the concentrations of xenon-133 within Germany's troposphere - at between 8 and 12 kilometers above sea level - were at most 1,000 mBq/m3. Considering that xenon-133 gas is heavier than air, and it naturally settles at ground-level, and the peak post-Chernobyl levels of xenon-133 in the U.S. in 1986 were just 20 times this concentration, it can be stated that the upper tropospheric injection of contaminants by so-called 'warm conveyor belts' in March 2011 wasn't trivial.

What was truly astonishing about the paper presented at the Berlin conference was that both atmospheric contaminants - SO2 and Xe133 - according to the authors were also injected into the lower stratosphere, which is a significant piece of information. Why? I have believed up until now that the effects more than 1 year after Fukushima on peoples in the Northern Hemisphere (outside of Japan) are limited to exposures to radioactive noble gases (from Fukushima) still circling the globe (xenons, kryptons, carbon-14, etc..) and from small amounts of radioactive dust from reactor volatilization, resuspension, etc... I never considered Fukushima created a stratospheric load of radioactive particulates (including 'daughters' of noble gases, such as radiocesiums). This poses a new problem. The load of contamination in the stratosphere from Fukushima may mean that powerful rain events will be causing hot spots across the globe in the years to come. The 'residence half-life' of this contamination in the lower stratosphere may be a year or several years (depending on the latitude of stratospheric entry). This means that plutonium and strontium-90 and cesiums from Fukushima will be raining down on us for the rest of this decade! Fukushima 'hot particles' aren't the only radioactive threat from the stratosphere - we are still getting radioactive rain from residual contamination lodged in the stratosphere from high altitude nuclear tests and nuclear satellite re-entries from last century.

Although storms 'tapping' the stratosphere can produce radioactive rain that will add to external radiation exposures to those in contact with the precipitation, the greatest public health danger is from internal radiation exposures. Stratospheric tapping events correspond with convection storms affecting principally arable areas of the Earth, which means our foods will be absorbing water soluble radionuclides from Fukushima via the rain for years to come.

ON GOVERNMENT AND FUKUSHIMA

People everywhere are starting to clue in to the fact that human life carries little to no value to our government. Government is obviously more interested in public acceptance of nuclear power and its vast and environmentally unaudited nuclear weapons complex than public safety. The result is that we expect to hear about environmental threats from our government but we should know from past events and now with Fukushima that the sound of silence is the alarm. When they do tell us the results of their radiation testing, it is usually tempered with skewed and misleading notions of 'levels of concern.'

Learn why you should not eat any Pacific seafood and how the U.S. FDA's policies towards radiation-in-food safety are absurd and reckless in my article: 'Vital Information that U.S. Scientists and the U.S. Government Isn't Telling You about Pacific Seafood Tainted by Fukushima'.

The Pacific contamination problem is a very serious public safety concern and I feel that authorities are acting like an air traffic controller popping sleeping pills while on the job. Their actions and policy decisions don't make any sense and are endangering our safety and security. My advice now is DON'T EAT SEAFOOD FROM OR SURF, SAIL, SWIM, BOAT, OR FISH IN THE PACIFIC OCEAN if you want to be safe. Hawaiians, boot out your Department of Health. They are ill informed.

I Have A Better Story Than That, ABC News

According to ABC News, the CIA allegedly sought to build a cage at one of its former 'black prisons' in Eastern Europe in 2002 and 2003. The purpose? For caging birds? No. It was intended for, according to one Polish official, torture of Al Qaeda terror suspects.

Well, I got a better story than that. In 1957, prisoners transported by plane from Panama were delivered *in cages* to the Nevada Test Site. These people were kept handcuffed in a fenced enclosure and were seen with their hair falling out and skin peeling off their faces by Marines hours after a nuclear test. The victims were situated so close to the ground-zero that they were probably 'dead men standing' - any doctor would say they would die from the exposures in days or weeks. They were made into human replicas of severely irradiated Hiroshima blast victims so medical tests could be done on them before they died.

Uncle Sam has at least become more legally sensitive in its secret human rights evisceration. Nowadays, the U.S. government takes greater care in the way it tortures or experiments on people by doing its dirty business in secret 'black' overseas sites to avoid the pitfalls of 'constitution[al] and international law.' Back in the 1950s, the U.S. simply imported people to be experimented upon and threatened to court-martial or force large psychotropic pills down the throats of any witnesses who showed any signs that they might spill the beans. Read the entire story.

Nuclear Skeletons Russia and U.S. Stashed Under the Ocean

In the 1950s, U.S. government scientists at the Dugway Proving Ground, west of Salt Lake City in Utah, deliberately melted down eight small nuclear reactors to simulate the consequences of an accident involving an airplane with an onboard 'nuclear plant.'  From 1959 to 1969, government scientists in the Nevada desert conducted dozens of tests of nuclear reactor-powered rockets and ramjet engines that entailed incidences of core damage, core structural failure, core overheating, etc...On January 12, 1965, U.S. government scientists launched a nuclear-powered rocket that underwent reactor 'excursion' in mid-flight - a radioactive cloud from the intentional reactor explosion was tracked by aircraft as it passed over Los Angeles and to the Pacific Ocean. (sources) It is likely the Soviets conducted similar and even more reckless experiments on reactors.

TPTB (the powers that be) have had 50+ years of experience toying around with all sorts of reactors designed for rockets, airplanes, spaceships, submarines, etc... The U.S. and Russia even have reactors in space.  They both knew, far better than Japan or TEPCO, how to deal with the meltdowns in March 2011 at Fukushima.  So, why did they stand on the sidelines? 

Is it because the reactor design (by General Electric) at several of the Fukushima Daiichi units too closely resembles the reactor technology used in old U.S. (and Soviet) nuclear submarines?  If you look at your history books (oops, you won't find it there), you'll find that the British set up the first commercial reactor - intended to provide electricity to the public - in 1956 and the U.S. hurriedly established its own first nuclear power station in 1957 (Shippingport).  The U.S. accomplished this by taking the boiling water reactor from the U.S. nuclear submarine dubbed the 'Nautilus' - which crossed the Arctic Ocean under the ice-cap - and put it into a reactor building on land in Pennsylvania. 

Could the reason why American and Russian military experts didn't step in and haven't stepped in to aid with Fukushima be as simple as the design of Fukushima's reactors is similar to the outdated designs of their nuclear subs? Why should the 411 on reactor meltdowns at Fukushima pose a threat to either country? Well, knowledge of a full-scale meltdown in a boiling-water reactor might shed light on past accidents involving U.S. and Russian nuclear submarines or potential future accidents involving nuclear-armed nuclear subs that sank long ago and still lie on the ocean floor.

According to The Greenpeace Book of the Nuclear Age (1989), "Greenpeace and The Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) have shown that there are 60 nuclear weapons and six nuclear submarines, with 10 nuclear reactors, on the ocean bed as the result of naval accidents, plane crashes and deliberate dumping (Neptune III). Nuclear weapons and reactors, breached by deep ocean pressures, can rapidly release their radioactive contents. At best, long-term corrosion will cause a gradual release. These materials, the majority of which will emit radioactivity for thousands of years, will eventually enter the marine food chains and will have a measurable effect on human populations unless the weapons and reactors are recovered." Just one Soviet nuclear sub on the ocean floor near Bermuda has a reactor whose contents could spill "as much as one third of the radioactivity released into the air by the Chernobyl accident." Knowledge of how bad Fukushima is getting might focus attention on the Fukushimas on the ocean floor: Soviet and U.S. submarines that are leaking their radioactive contents slowly into the marine environment.

But in 2012 it was learned that the number of items in old Soviet undersea nuclear graveyards is greater than previously believed, and the greatest threat isn't the rapid release of nuclear waste; it is a nuclear-type explosion. On August 28, 2012, the Norwegian daily 'Aftenposten' published information contained in a slew of documents given recently to Norway's officials by Russian authorities. Aftenposten said the documents indicated that a larger amount of nuclear waste was dumped in Arctic seas by the former Soviet Union than once thought. The documents indicate that the Soviets dumped '17,000 containers of radioactive waste, 19 ships containing radioactive waste, 14 nuclear reactors, including five that still contain spent nuclear fuel; 735 other pieces of radiactively [sic] contaminated heavy machinery, and the K-27 nuclear submarine with its two reactors loaded with nuclear fuel.' ('Russia announces enormous finds of radioactive waste and nuclear reactors in Arctic seas,' Bellona, 8.28.12). In February 2012, a joint conference between the Russian state nuclear company Rosatom and Bellona, a Russian news agency, revealed new information that 'the reactors [in] the K-27 could reachieve criticality and explode...' Norway is now working alongside its Arctic neighbor, Russia, to map these graveyards and determine if it's possible to raise the submarine.

There is another reason we suspect why the United States and Russia won't help with Fukushima. Although a 'corium' created in a nuclear submarine's small reactor (unlike their larger reactor counterparts on land) can't pierce the containment structure, the U.S. (and Russia) nevertheless knows how to manage it but won't tell the world because that is a secret that carries military advantage in a world of nations with competing nuclear submarine fleets. The U.S. has the tools to find corium, cool it and trap it. Consider that NASA, using heat-imaging technology via satellite, has located the coriums that have melted-through at Fukushima Daiichi but is not publicly sharing this information which apparently no one else, not even Japan's government, has learned.

Autism is back in the news

Could autism be a 'milder' effect on infants from radioactive pollution of the Cold War that at its greatest potency claimed tens of thousands of babies' lives half a century ago? Our theory is that autism is the result of a two-part brain-impairment process of infants that is partially caused by internal radiation overexposures. The first part of the process is genetic damage affecting brain function of the newborn and the second part is damage to the developing brain of the young child as manmade radioactivity present in contaminated foods is absorbed by the stomach. (A key to understanding the cause of autism is to know that the stomach and brain are interconnected especially in the biological (and brain) development of the young child.) The brain (the right orbitofrontal system) at 10-12 to 16-18 months is very active in the arena of socializing and people skills and this is the brain area that is damaged as radiation in contaminated foods in the gut causes impairment (and permanent damage). Consider that the right orbitofrontal system of the brain allows us to read people's facial expressions and manage our own emotions - these are functions that are impaired in those with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Radioactive pollution in our environment from 'global fallout' (see link below) may be a cause of this genetic damage and radiopoisoning of the gut-brain system.

Leaks of radioactive water have not stopped at Fukushima - this analysis explores, using California milk in 1962 as an example, how sustained, chronic inputs of environmental radio-cesium can result in ever-increasing food contamination

Special Doesn't Mean Expendable - In the 1950s, were boys with - and some misdiagnosed with - special needs exploited in experiments by MIT, Harvard, Boston University and Quaker Oats that involved eating radioactive breakfast foods?    Yes.  In the 1950s, were adults with similar disabilities exploited in military experiments that involved being coerced into cages placed so close to an actual atomic blast that they were scorched and didn't survive long afterwards? Maybe. more
