Antinuclear

Australian news, and some related international items

TODAY. No real research into the effects of releasing nuclear waste-water into rivers and seas. Oh goody! That means its OK, (doesn’t it?

it has become clear that regulation of tritium in the United States is grossly insufficient to the current risk from tritium contamination, not to mention future risks that could arise if tritium production, use, and associated leakage rise

tritium “easily can cross the placenta and irradiate developing fetuses in utero, thereby raising the risk of birth defects, miscarriages, and other problems.”

 the dangers this pernicious contaminant will pose in the future, absent more effective regulation that includes lower limits for human tritium exposure.  https://thebulletin.org/2023/06/exploring-tritiums-danger-a-book-review/

There is no way to separate tritium from contaminated water. Tritium, a soft beta emitter, is a potent carcinogen which remains radioactive for over 100 years. It concentrates in aquatic organisms including algae, seaweed, crustaceans and fish. Because it is tasteless, odorless and invisible, it will inevitably be ingested in food, including seafood, over many decades. It combines in the DNA molecule – the gene – where it can induce mutations that later lead to cancer. It causes brain tumors, birth deformities, and cancers of many organs. The situation is dire because there is no way to contain this radioactive water permanently and it will inevitable leak into the Pacific Ocean for over 50 years or longer along with many other very dangerous isotopes including cesium 137 which lasts for 300 years and causes very malignant muscle cancers –rhabdomyosarcomas, strontium 90 which also is radioactive for 300 years and causes bone cancers and leukemia, amongst many other radioactive elements.  http://akiomatsumura.com/2013/06/experts-explain-effects-of-radioactive-water-at-fukushima.htm
