Pro nuclear power

Prevented mortality and greenhouse gas emissions from historical and projected nuclear power.

•an average of 1.8 million lives saved worldwide by the use of nuclear power instead of fossil fuels between 1971 and 2009.

•mortality levels per unit of electrical energy produced from fossil fuels (coal and natural gas) •respiratory illnesses•cancers, hereditary effects•heart problems, •fossil fuel combustion ,higher carbon and air pollution footprint

Anti Nuclear Power

The world's nuclear fleet creates about 10,000 metric tons of high-level spent nuclear fuel each year

•Radioactive wastes remain deadly •Technetium-99 (half-life 220,000 years) • Iodine-129 (half-life 15.7 million years•Neptunium-237 (half-life 2 million years)•Plutonium-239 (half-life 24,000 years)

Governments around the world are considering a range of waste management and disposal options, usually involving

deep-geologic placement

Yucca Mountain

DOE had originally said that the area might expect an earthquake about every 10,000 years

A 5.0 earthquake had rocked the area and did some damage to the media reception area, display center, cafeteria and office complex. Repairs and seismic improvements were estimated to cost approximately $2 million.

A second 4.4 quake struck this volcanic area on June 4, 2002, centered 12 ½ miles away. It caused no damage.

There are 39 earthquake faults and 7 young volcanoes in the area

DOE=Yucca Mountain is stable and that burying 77,000 tons of spent radioactive fuel rods and high level waste would be safe 600 to 950 feet under the mountain. Plutonium 239 isotopes have a ½ life of 22,000 years, it needs to be kept isolated out of the air and water for a very long time.

DOE spokesmen is 10,000 years, a figure that may be grossly underestimated.

Hanford Reservation Plutonium for weapons

Over 55 million gallons are stored at the Hanford reservation in

Washington State. radioactive waste dangerous chemicals, very explosive. The waste solution is then stored in underground tanks from 55,000 to 1.4 million gallons.

Sixty five tanks have leaked over 1 million gallons into the ground at Hanford.

Rancho Seco nuclear reactor in Sacramento CountyAuthor Joseph Mangano said: “This article is the first of its kind: No other peer-reviewed journal article has examined

long-term changes in health status near closed nuclear plants.

• Rancho Seco has been closed for over 23 years• providing a long period to examine post-shutdown local health patterns

•last two years of reactor operation, 1988-1989

•104 aging U.S. reactors at 65 plants affect many Americans.

•over 18 million Americans live within 20 miles of a nuclear power plant

Page 8: radiation-exposure-and-protection

Author Janette Sherman said:

“The potential effects of locating new reactors should be measured not only in terms of health, but also in terms of cost. For example, the 4,319 fewer cancers than expected in Sacramento County during the first 20 years after the Rancho Seco closure translates into

many millions saved in direct medical costs, reduction of productivity lost, and additional savings associated with the value of a human life

Tepco to start nitrogen gas injection into reactor2 for the first time, “Not knowing the hydrogen gas concentration”

May 13th, 2013

Tepco is going to inject nitrogen gas into reactor2 as a test

They need to keep the hydrogen gas concentration lower than 2% or it may cause hydrogen explosion.

However, they don’t actually know the hydrogen gas concentration in suppression chamber of reactor2

Fukushima Radiation Blamed For Thousands Of Sick Seals Washing Up On California Beaches Fukushima

Disaster 1,000 Times Worse Than IAEA Estimate

4/9/2013 – “Radiation from Japan’s nuclear disaster could be the reason why more than a thousand sick sea lion pups have washed up on the beaches of Southern California in the past few months, experts believe.

NOAA “unusual mortality event” after the starving pups washed ashore in record numbers since the start of the year.

An ion is an atom, molecule, or elementary particle that has lost or gained one or more electrons positive ion has lost one or more electronsnegative ion has gained one or more electrons

Ionization is the process of adding or removing electrons so as to form ions and can be caused by high temperatures, electrical discharges, or nuclear radiation.

Ionizing radiation includes x-rays, gamma rays, beta particles, alpha particles, and lots of other high-energy particles (neutrons, positrons, etc.).

When ionizing radiation passes through matter it can ionize it.

Ionizing radiation can cause cell damage as it passes through living tissue.

Nuclear RadiationRadiation-induced skin reactionsUraniumUranium oxide = inhaled it sticks to the lining of the lungs, it is taken up by cells of the immune systems and gets into lymph glands, bone, brain, hormone producing glands, ovaries and testes Radioactive iodineIodine 131 is short lived and dangerous for a matter of weeks and will collect in the thyroid. Thyroid uses 3-4 molecules of iodine to make thyroid hormone when people are deficient in iodine the body draws it in Strontium 90 is dangerous for hundreds of years and will collect in the bones causing leukemia. Cesium 137 is also dangerous for about the same period of time and will accumulate in the muscle tissue.

Page 19: radiation-exposure-and-protection

IodineIodine is the most obvious and important element in protecting against radiation damages. Radioactive iodine will plunge in to any and all iodine receptor cites that have no iodine in them due to iodine deficiencies.

This is a serious problem because over 90 percent of people in North America are iodine deficient.

This leaves them incredibly vulnerable to radioactive iodine, which is one of the principle forms of radiation given off in nuclear accidents and from nuclear weapons.

Page 20: radiation-exposure-and-protection

How is Radiation Measured?In the United States, radiation absorbed dose (rad),  dose equivalent (rem), and exposure (R) (roentgen) 

The International System of Units (SI) for radiation measurement is now the official system of measurement and uses the "gray" (Gy) and "sievert" (Sv) for absorbed dose and equivalent dose respectively. Conversions are as follows:1 Gy = 100 rad1 mGy = 100 mrad1 Sv = 100 rem1 mSv = 100 mrem

In the United States, the amount of radioactivity present is the number of curies (Ci) present. The more curies present, the greater amount of radioactivity and emitted radiation.

The SI system uses the unit of becquerel (Bq) as its unit of radioactivity. One curie is 37 billion Bq. Since the Bq represents such a small amount, one is likely to see a prefix noting a large multiplier used with the Bq as follows:37 GBq = 37 billion Bq = 1 curie1 MBq = 1 million Bq = ~ 27 microcuries1 GBq = 1 billion Bq = ~ 27 millicuries1TBq = 1 trillion Bq = ~ 27 curies

In France, in mid-April 2012 cautioned pregnant and breastfeeding women and children in Europe are to avoid eating certain foods due to the spread of radiation from Fukushima, including milk and creamy cheese, and spinach and other broad leaf vegetables,

due to the potential health risks associated with ingesting radioactive particles that may accumulate in these foods.

the risks related to prolonged contamination among vulnerable groups of the population can no longer be considered “negligible” and it is now necessary to avoid “risky behavior.”

the West Coast of the U.S. is being subjected to eight to 10 times higher levels of radiation than Europe from the nuclear meltdown in Japan.

Page 23: radiation-exposure-and-protection

TOKYO, Japan — Vladimir Babenko is deputy director of the Belrad Institute of Radiation Safety in the former Soviet republic of Belarus.

During a press conference in Tokyo he urged Japan to lower food radiation limits to “realistic” levels.

Babenko “cannot understand the thresholds designated by the Japanese government for food and beverage products, saying they are much higher than Belarusian standards.”

He noted that the allowable limit of 200 becquerels per kilogram of cesium in Japan drinking water is 20 times as high as the maximum allowable level in Belarus.

Page 24: radiation-exposure-and-protection

The government insists that its radiation limits ensure that the program will pose no health risks to surrounding residents..

Previously, Japanese regulations required nuclear waste with 100 or more bq/kg of Cesium to be monitored and disposed of in specialized containers

The new government limit for material headed for landfills is 8000 bq/kg, 80 times the pre-Fukushima limit

Before Fukushima: 100 Bq/kg of cesium is nuclear waste

After: 100 Bq/kg of cesium is safe to eat

Tsutomu Yamaguchi, the only person officially recognized as a survivor of both the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombings at the end of World War II, has died at age 93.Yamaguchi was in Hiroshima on a business trip for his shipbuilding company on Aug. 6, 1945, when a U.S. B-29 dropped an atomic bomb on the city. He suffered serious burns to his upper body and spent the night in the city.He then returned to his hometown of Nagasaki, about 300 kilometers (190 miles) to the southwest, which suffered a second U.S. atomic bomb attack three days later

taking iodine to prevent thyroid gland.

taking in too much iodine can leave toxin to your body.

potassium iodide or iodine Effective in preventing thyroid cancer. Iodine-131 radiation (gamma and beta) to protect from radiation exposure

only drug to produce only a temporary situation.

Potassium iodide or iodine is able to eat before entering risk areas.

1-12 hours before the effects of the drug

risk of allergic reaction of potassium iodide or iodine, such as suggesting that if so many did not participate in many areas at risk of radial diffusion of radioactive substances is not recommended for you.

Due to possible side effects of this drug. The pregnant woman should eat only one volume size 130 mg tablets once.

foods to be richest in potassium iodine

1. Kelp (high)2. Low-Fat Yogurt3. Raw Cow's Milk4. Egg, whole, boiled5. Strawberries6. Mozzarella CheeseThe Kelp has the highest amount of iodine with Mozzarella Cheese coming in last... but still containing a valuable amount.

Page 31: radiation-exposure-and-protection

Intravenous CocktailsIn cases of serious exposure, IV cocktails with high dosages of vitamin C, magnesium chloride or sulfate, sodium bicarbonate and very pure seawater full of all the minerals necessary for life would be ideal.

Nutrients to the RescueSpirulina and chlorella have been used heavily by the Russians after the Chernobyl nuclear plant disaster.

Spirulina and chlorella content and because it is like refined rocket fuel for the cells providing them with a broad range of concentrated nutrients.

Spirulina contains about 70% protein, the vitamins E, C (beta carotene) and B complex, a number of minerals, phycocyanin and chlorophyll.

Chlorella is a single-celled, water-grown algae that contains more chlorophyll per gram than any other plant.  It is extremely rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acids, essential fatty acids and many other nutrients

Page 32: radiation-exposure-and-protection

Miso is effective for detoxifying your body of radiation.

During World War II, two hospitals that were located side by side were hit with atomic radiation, in one hospital people consumed Miso and all of them survived while many people in the other hospital that did not take miso died.

Miso is rich in vitamin B therefore it is suitable for vegetarians who are in shortage of vitamin B. For best results do not cook miso.”

Page 33: radiation-exposure-and-protection

Whole Grains, Sea weed, Wheat Grass

Consuming more whole grains has a multitude of benefits. Their high fiber content binds with toxins and lessens intestinal transit time.

vitamin B6 content nourishes the thymus gland and their vitamin E content helps the body to better utilize oxygen.

buckwheat is high in rutin and helps to protect against radiation and stimulates new bone marrow production.

seaweed helps to prevent the reabsorbing of radioactive strontium 90.

Following the bombing of Nagasaki, a group of surviving macrobiotic doctors and their patients avoided radiation sickness by eating brown rice, miso and seaweed. They also did not get leukemia.

Seaweeds also help to break down fatty deposits.

wheatgrass grass strengthen cells, transport oxygen, help to detoxify the blood and liver as well as help to neutralize polluting elements and stimulate RNA production.

Page 34: radiation-exposure-and-protection

Detoxing Supplements and compounds

misconception– namely that the sulfur compounds in the broccoli family bind the heavy metals. 

sulfur compounds trigger increased expression of your glutathione system, which results in both metal detoxification and free radical neutralization.

polyphenolic antioxidants – pine bark extract, green tea extract, grape seed extract

polyphenolics = Pine Bark extract, large amounts of liver cleansing dandelion root extract, natural iodine and minerals

curcumin (an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound found in the curry spice turmeric) may help protect against radiation-induced damage to the skin. aloe vera is often touted as a natural remedy for radiation-induced skin changes preventing or minimizing radiation-induced skin reactions

Page 35: radiation-exposure-and-protection

Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda)The oral administration of sodium bicarbonate diminishes theseverity of the changes produced by uranium in the kidneys.

The kidneys are usually the first organs to show chemical damage upon uranium exposure

the United States Army recommends the use of bicarbonate to protect the kidneys from radiation damage

*used by oncology centers to control chemo agent spills and it’s actually used intravenously to protect patients from the hazardous toxicity of chemotherapy.

Uranium is one of the only metals that get significant bonding from carbonate. Just flushing a lot of bicarbonate through the system

Page 36: radiation-exposure-and-protection

No better therapy for radiation sickness then intense sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) baths.

Minimum stocks should be 25 or 50 pounds.

one pound of bicarbonate in a bath but that could easily be two or three pounds in an emergency situation.

magnesium salts or magnesium bath flakes.

Dead Sea salt is also quite fine for this application.

Apply Aloe Vera After Bath

Glutathione and Bicarbonate Nebulization

Nebulization is one of the best ways to quickly increase glutathione levels

The main cancer risk from inhaled uranium oxide and other airborne radioactive particles would be from tiny insoluble particles lodged deep in the lungs..

Uranium oxide can be inhaled, it sticks to the lining of the lungs, it is taken up by cells of the immune systems and gets into lymph glands, bone, brain, hormone producing glands, ovaries and testes

Nebulization transdermally treats the lung tissues allowing for best effect on contaminated lung tissues.

mercury, detoxification and chelation of radioactive poisons use the same pathways as mercury

Consume sulfur rich foods garlic, onions and the cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, kale, collards, cabbage, cauliflower, watercress, etc.).

Page 39: radiation-exposure-and-protection

phytochemical = protect cells from damage.

fruit and vegetable juices are good sources of the traditional nutrients. Citrus fruits (grapefruit, oranges, etc.) provide healthy portions of vitamin C

Carrot juice contains large quantities of vitamin A, in the form of beta carotene.

green juices are a good source of vitamin E.

Fruit juices are a good source of essential minerals like iron, copper, potassium, sodium, iodine, and magnesium,
