Lies and coverups about radiation, from Maralinga to Fukushima

In 1953, Lallie Lennon was engulfed by a bomb fallout cloud. She became ill. She still suffers painful scars, though they have improved. From 1952 she began asking for a diagnosis. She asked throughout the 1950s, the 1960s, the 1970s. Not until the 1980s did she get an answer.
And then, the Young Doctors ignored radiation as a factor. They brushed aside her mention of the fallout which caused her health to decline and which caused her suffering. She is not the only one.

“……..Over the last year and a half I have watched world nuclear authorities act increasingly in the same manner as the British nuclear authorities acted in Australia. They lied about the amount and impact of fallout. They lied about the extent of contamination residue on land and in water and food.

They lied about casualities, they lied about and with held diagnosis for decades, they with held hospital records, they claim to have lost ALL of the Maraling nuclear test health records.

They claim radiation affected no nuclear veteran, even at the same time as they admit that nuclear veterans suffer 23% higher risk of disease. They are perplexed, in public about this. Even today, the land which British authorities claimed was perfectly clean,remains, forever, banned from permanent human use. Yet Aboriginal people, whose land it is, know very well that the game they catch up there may well British radionuclides in its flesh……

The very same exclusion from medical diagnosis and treatment which took place in relation to nuclear victims of the 1950 is taking place today in Japan, with people who front to Japanese hospital asking for blood tests are being turned away!!!!

Is what happened to Lallie a mistake ? Or is it rather, a prototype for what is now being inflicted upon the people of the Japan and indeed the rest of the world?????

“We need to make a collective effort to restore our reputation and to rebuild the nuclear brand,” Luc Oursel, chief executive of France’s flagship nuclear reactor producer Areva , told an industry conference in London.

Bullshit. Find another job and do something useful for a change. It is plain to see the Luc hasn’t changed.

All my life, all I have witnessed from nuclear authorities is lies, more lies and damned lies. The British Chief Scientist in March 2011 stated that if meltdowns occurred at Fukushima, the fallout zone would extend no more than 5 metres around the TEPCO site and that emissions would last a few short hours. Piss off Beveringham, the reactors, even as you spoke were in meltdown and even as you spoke, the reactors were venting in land sea and air. Find something useful to do, try telling the truth. At the very least you talk out of your arse. Chances are the Fukushima reactors will vent until they are disassembled and removed. In 40 years time. Optimistically…..
