Radioactive Hot Particles in Japan: Full Radiation Risks not Recorded
Radioactively-Hot Particles in Japan; New Study Shows Full Radiation Risks are not Recorded
The article details the analysis of radioactively hot particles collected in Japan following the Fukushima Dai-ichi meltdowns. Based on 415 samples of radioactive dust from Japan, the USA, and Canada, the study identified a statistically meaningful number of samples that were considerably more radioactive than current radiation models anticipated. If ingested, these more radioactive particles increase the risk of suffering a future health problem…

Federal nuclear waste dump plan – unnecessary for medical purposes – theme for May 2018
The Lucas Heights nuclear reactor offers a “cover”, respectability, for the nuclear power and nuclear waste industries to get into this country.
The real agenda for Australia’s Lucas Heights nuclear reactor has always been to maintain an opening for the nuclear industry. With Lucas Heights and ANSTO, nuclear expertise is continued, in preparation for possible Australian nuclear power, and nuclear weapons.
The Lucas Heights nuclear reactor now functions as a support for the Australian uranium industry, and a foot in the door for an Australian nuclear waste import industry.
ANSTO is not facing up to the reality that non-nuclear methods – e.g cyclotrons can now produce all medical radioisotopes. Nor is ANSTO admitting that medical radioactive wastes are most suitably be dealt with at the local level, near the point of use. NO NEED FOR A NUCLEAR WASTE DUMP OVER A THOUSAND Km AWAY!
Medical Isotope and Cyclotron Facility
The Senate Inquiry on Selection process for a national radioactive waste management facility in South Australia. has now 88 submissions published Brett Stokes and I are going through them, not at this point able to estimate how many pro-nuke how many anti-nuke.
**********************************************************
EVENTS
See our page: Submissions on Radioactive Waste Code 2018/ Submissions published by ARPANSA are overwhelmingly critical, and in opposition to the Federal nuclear dump plan for rural South Australia. [not to be confused with the current SENATE INQUIRY Selection process for a national radioactive waste management facility in South Australia.]
************************************************************************
PETITIONS
Say no to the federal plan to dump and store nuclear waste in SA.
Don’t Let Frydenberg approve Yeelirrie uranium mine or extinction!
No Nuclear Bundabunda at Brewarrina – bad poison [SIGN THE PETITION]
