ESPECIALLY DURING THE "COLD WAR", THE U.S. LOOKED LONGINGLY AT WAYS TO IRRADIATE A POPULATION WITHOUT SETTING OFF ALARMS, AND WE HAVE DECLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS THAT SHOW THIS!

" In 1946, the widespread contamination of ships at Crossroads by radioactive mist gave dramatic evidence of the potential of so-called radiological warfare, or RW.
In 1947, the military created a committee of experts to study the problem.
The following year, a blue-ribbon panel of physicians and physicists looked at the prospects, both offensive and defensive, of what the Pentagon termed "Rad War."
The work of these panels would lead to dozens of intentional releases of radiation into the environment at the Army's Dugway, Utah, testing grounds from the late 1940s to the early 1950s.
The very fact that the government was engaged in RW tests was a secret."
SINCE WE'VE KNOWN FOR ABOUT 70 YEARS THAT ALL LEVELS OF RADIATION HARM AND KILL HUMAN BEINGS, CAN AND HAVE AND WILL CONTINUE TO CAUSE CANCER, ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN, ESPECIALLY IN THE UNBORN WHOSE MOTHERS ARE SUBJECTED TO RADIATION, THE RECENT STATEMENTS BY THOSE ASSIGNED TO CALM THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE FUKUSHIMA ONGOING RADIATION SEEM CRIMINAL!
“It’s absolutely true there’s no safe dose. But we’re likely to be OK if we remain vigilant,” says Dr. Nagy Elsayyad, a radiation oncology expert at the University of Miami Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center.
“Doctors often have no idea how much radiation they’re exposing their patients to,” he says."
Long story short, “One can no longer speak of a ‘safe’ dose level,” as Dr. Ian Fairlie and Dr. Marvin Resnikoff said in their report “No dose too low,” in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.
Japan Times reports:
"Protracted exposure to low-level radiation is associated with a significant increase in the risk of leukemia, according to a long-term study published Thursday in a U.S. research journal.
The study released in the monthly Environmental Health Perspectives was based on a20-year survey of around 110,000 workers who engaged in cleanup work related to the Chernobyl nuclear plant disaster in 1986."
The top U.S. government radiation experts – like Karl Morgan, John Goffman and Arthur Tamplin – and scientific luminaries such as Ernest Sternglass and Alice Stewart, concluded that low- level radiation can cause serious health effects.Scientists from the University of California, San Francisco, the U.S. National Cancer Institute and the National Research Center for Radiation Medicine in Ukraine were among those who participated in the research."
A military briefing written by the U.S. Army for commanders in Iraq states:
The briefing states that doses are cumulative, citing the following military studies and reports:"Hazards from low level radiation are long-term, not acute effects… Every exposure increases risk of cancer."

~In 1940, several members of the US Committee on X-Ray and Radium Protection “proposed that the [radiation exposure] standard be lowered by a factor of five in response to the accumulating evidence that ANY amount of radiation, no matter how small, can cause genetic damage, injuring future generations.”
[Caufield, Catherine. Multiple Exposures: Chronicles of the Radiation Age. Harper and Row, New York. 1989: 48. isbn 0-06-015900-6. ]
A major 2012 scientific study proves that low-level radiation can cause huge health problems.
Science Daily reports:
"Even the very lowest levels of radiation are harmful to life, scientists have concluded in the Cambridge Philosophical Society’s journal Biological Reviews.
Reporting the results of a wide-ranging analysis of 46 peer-reviewed studies published over the past 40 years, researchers from the University of South Carolina and the University of Paris-Sud found that variation in low-level, natural background radiation was found to have small, but highly statistically significant, negative effects on DNA as well as several measures of health.
The scientists reported significant negative effects in a range of categories, including immunology, physiology, mutation and disease occurrence. The frequency of negative effects was beyond that of random chance.
When you do the meta-analysis, you do see significant negative effects.”
“It also provides evidence that there is no threshold below which there are no effects of radiation,” Mousseau added.
“A theory that has been batted around a lot over the last couple of decades is the idea that is there a threshold of exposure below which there are no negative consequences.
These data provide fairly strong evidence that there is no threshold — radiation effects are measurable as far down as you can go, given the statistical power you have at hand.”
These data provide fairly strong evidence that there is no threshold — radiation effects are measurable as far down as you can go, given the statistical power you have at hand.”
“With the levels of contamination that we have seen as a result of nuclear power plants, especially in the past, and even as a result of Chernobyl and Fukushima and related accidents, there’s an attempt in the industry to downplay the doses that the populations are getting, because maybe it’s only one or two times beyond what is thought to be the natural background level,” he said.
“But they’re assuming the natural background levels are fine.”
“But they’re assuming the natural background levels are fine.”
“And the truth is, if we see effects at these low levels, then we have to be thinking differently about how we develop regulations for exposures, and especially intentional exposures to populations, like the emissions from nuclear power plants, medical procedures, and even some x-ray machines at airports.”
According to the National Academy of Sciences, there are no safe doses of radiation. Decades of research show clearly that any dose of radiation increases an individual’s risk for the development of cancer.
Consuming food or water containing radionuclides is particularly dangerous.
If an individual ingests or inhales a [SINGLE] radioactive particle, it continues to irradiate the body as long as it remains radioactive and stays in the body,”said Alan H. Lockwood, MD, a member of the Board of Physicians for Social Responsibility. "

John LaForge writes:
" The National Council on Radiation Protection says, “… every increment of radiation exposure produces an incremental increase in the risk of cancer.”
The Environmental Protection Agency says, “… any exposure to radiation poses some risk, i.e. there is no level below which we can say an exposure poses no risk.”
The Department of Energy says about “low levels of radiation” that
“… the major effect is a very slight increase in cancer risk.”
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission says, “any amount of radiation may pose some risk for causing cancer … any increase in dose, no matter how small, results in an incremental increase in risk.”
The National Academy of Sciences, in its “Biological Effects of Ionizing Radiation VII,” says, “… it is unlikely that a threshold exists for the induction of cancers ….”
"What comes from medical X-rays, airport scanners, leaking nuclear plants and similar sources is ionizing radiation — the dangerous kind, capable of causing cancer, increasingly so as time and dosage increase.
“There is no safe level of exposure, whether from food, water or other sources. Period,” said Jeffrey Patterson, immediate past president of Physicians for Social Responsibility, in a statement calling for a nationwide moratorium on new nuclear reactors in the United States following the incidents in Japan.
Studies of the body’s reaction to low levels of radiation have shown that as exposure increases, it causes the same cancers as very high doses, although in far smaller numbers.
Thyroid cancer and leukemia can follow after years of chronic overexposure. Later, in 10 or 15 years, come lung cancer, skin cancer, multiple myeloma and cancers of the breast and stomach, according to the American Cancer Society.
And children are at much higher risk from exposure to radioactivity, the ACS says, because their tissue is growing faster and because they have longer life expectancy during which cancers can develop."
*** "Altering chemical bonds may change composition or structure. Ionizing radiation is powerful enough to do this.
For example, a typical ionization releases six to seven times the energy needed to break the chemical bond between two carbon atoms.
This ability to disrupt chemical bonds means that ionizing radiation focuses its impact in a very small but crucial area.
For example, the amount of energy in a lethal dose of ionizing radiation is roughly equal to the amount of thermal energy in a single sip of hot coffee.[92]
The crucial difference is that the coffee's energy is broadly distributed in the form of nonionizing heat, while the radiation's energy is concentrated in a form that can ionize.
What effect can ionizing radiation have on DNA?
Ionizing radiation, by definition, "ionizes," that is, it pushes an electron out of its orbit around an atomic nucleus, causing the formation of electrical charges on atoms or molecules. If this electron comes from the DNA itself or from a neighboring molecule and directly strikes and disrupts the DNA molecule, the effect is called direct action.
This initial ionization takes place very quickly, in about 0.000000000000001 of a second.
However, today it is estimated that about two-thirds of the damage caused by x rays is due to indirect action.
This occurs when the liberated electron does not directly strike the DNA, but instead strikes an ordinary water molecule. This ionizes the water molecule, eventually producing what is known as a free radical.
A free radical reacts very strongly with other molecules as it seeks to restore a stable configuration of electrons. A free radical may drift about up to 10,000,000,000 times longer than the time needed for the initial ionization (this is still a very short time, about 0.00001 of a second), increasing the chance of it disrupting the crucial DNA molecule.
What immediate effects can ionizing radiation have on living cells?All of these collisions and ionizations take place very quickly, in less than a second. It takes much longer for the biological effects to become apparent. If the damage is sufficient to kill the cell, the effect may become noticeable in hours or days.
Cell "death" can be of two types.
First, the cell may no longer perform its function due to internal ionization; this requires a dose to the cell of about 100 gray (10,000 rad).
Second, "reproductive death" (mitotic inhibition) may occur when a cell can no longer reproduce, but still performs its other functions. This requires a dose of 2 gray (200 rad), which will cause reproductive death in half the cells irradiated (hence such a quantity is called a "mean lethal dose.")[96]
If enough crucial cells within the body totally cease to function, the effect is fatal. Death may also result if cell reproduction ceases in parts of the body where cells are continuously being replaced at a high rate (such as the blood cell-forming tissues and the lining of the intestinal tract). A very high dose of 100 gray (10,000 rad) to the entire body causes death within twenty-four to forty-eight hours; a whole-body dose of 2.5 to 5 gray (250 to 500 rad) may produce death within several weeks.[98] At lower or more localized doses, the effect will not be death, but specific symptoms due to the loss of a large number of cells. These effects were once called nonstochastic; they are now called deterministic.[99]
A beta burn is an example of a deterministic effect.
What long-term effects can radiation have?
The effect of the radiation may not be to kill the cell, but to alter its DNA code in a way that leaves the cell alive but with an error in the DNA blueprint. The effect of this mutation will depend on the nature of the error and when it is read.
Since this is a random process, such effects are now called stochastic.[100]
Two important stochastic effects of radiation are cancer, which results from mutations in non-germ cells (termed somatic cells), and heritable changes, which result from mutations in germ cells (eggs and sperm).
The total lifetime radiation exposure, expressed in rem, is called the committed dose equivalent.
One chemical form of the radionuclide might be rapidly eliminated from the body whereas other chemical forms may be slowly eliminated. [OR NEVER ELIMINATED]"

PLEASE DO UNDERSTAND, ESPECIALLY YOU ON THE WEST COAST AND THOSE NEAR NUCLEAR FACILITIES, YOU NEED TO TAKE EVERY PRECAUTION AND FOLLOW GUIDELINES LAID DOWN DECADES AGO ABOUT EXPOSURE TO RADIATION.
THAT IS IMPERATIVE.
KNOW THE EARLY WARNING SIGNS OF RADIATION SICKNESS.
FROM THE MAYO CLINIC:
"The severity of signs and symptoms of radiation sickness depends on how much radiation you've absorbed. How much you absorb depends on the strength of the radiated energy and the distance between you and the source of radiation. Signs and symptoms also are affected by the type of exposure — such as total or partial body and whether contamination is internal or external — and how sensitive to radiation the affected tissue is. For instance, the gastrointestinal system and bone marrow are highly sensitive to radiation.

15 Cancer Symptoms Men Ignore
1. Problems When You Pee; frequent urge, dribbling, difficulty starting urine flow, a weak stream of urine.
2. Changes in Your Testicles
If you notice a lump, heaviness, or any other change in your testicle, never delay having it looked at.
Unlike prostate cancer, which grows slowly, testicular cancer can take off overnight.
3. Blood in Your Pee or Stool.
This can be among the first signs of cancer of the bladder, kidneys, or colon.
4. Skin Changes.
When you notice a change in the size, shape, or color of a mole or other spot on your skin, see your doctor as soon as you can. Spots that are new or look different are top signs of skin cancer.
5. Changes in Lymph Nodes.
Swollen lymph nodes, small bean-shaped glands found in your neck, armpits, and other places, often signal that something's going on in your body.
6. Trouble Swallowing.
If you’re also losing weight or vomiting, your doctor may want to check you for throat or stomach cancer.
7. Heartburn.
Heartburn that doesn't go away or gets worse could also mean stomach or throat cancer.
8. Mouth Changes.
Keep an eye out for white or red patches inside your mouth or on your lips.
9. Weight Loss Without Trying.
Losing 10 pounds or more without trying isn’t normal. Although most unintended weight loss is not cancer, it’s one of the signs of cancer of the pancreas, stomach, or lungs.
10. Fever.
A fever that won't go away and doesn’t have an explanation could signal leukemia or another blood cancer.
11. Breast Changes.
Men tend to ignore breast lumps because breast cancer isn't on their radar, but 1% of all breast cancers occur in men.
12. Fatigue.
Many types of cancer cause a bone-deep tiredness that never gets better, no matter how much rest you get.
13. Cough.
If your cough doesn’t go away, and you’re short of breath or cough up blood, don't delay a visit to your doctor, especially if you smoke. A cough is the most common sign of lung cancer.
14. Pain.
Cancer doesn’t cause most aches and pains, but if you’re hurting for more than a month, see a doctor. Ongoing pain can be a signal of many types of cancer, especially those that have spread.
15. Belly Pain and Depression.
It’s rare, but depression along with stomach pain can be a sign of cancer of the pancreas.
WOMEN, IN ADDITION TO MOST OFTHE ABOVE LISTED FOR MEN, SHOULD ALSO BE MINDFUL OF THE FOLLOWING THREE SIGNS.SYMPTOMS:
1. Breast changes
Most breast lumps aren't cancer, but your doctor should always check them. Always report the following changesthese changes, too:
~Skin dimpling or puckering
~Nipples that turn inward
~Nipple discharge
~Redness or scaling of your nipple or breast skin
2. Bloating.
If bloating last more than 2 weeks, or if they happen with weight loss or bleeding, see a doctor.
3. Between-Period Bleeding.
If you’re still getting periods, tell your doctor if you’re spotting between them. Bleeding that’s not a part of your usual monthly cycle can have many causes, but your doctor will want to rule out endometrial cancer (cancer of the lining of your uterus).
TAKE ALL DUE PRECAUTIONS.

What determines how long a radionuclide will irradiate the body?
If the physical and biological half-lives of a particular chemical form of a radionuclide are very long, the radionuclide will CONTINUE to expose an individual to radiation over his or her ENTIRE LIFETIMEThe total lifetime radiation exposure, expressed in rem, is called the committed dose equivalent.
The physical half-life is the length of time it will take for half of the atoms in a sample to decay to a more stable form. The physical half-life of each radionuclide can be measured precisely in the laboratory. A shorter half-life means that the miniature power source will "run down" sooner. Sometimes, however, a radionuclide will not decay immediately to a stable form, but to a second, still unstable, form.

Signs and symptoms also are affected by the type of exposure — such as total or partial body and whether contamination is internal or external — and how sensitive to radiation the affected tissue is. For instance, the gastrointestinal system and bone marrow are highly sensitive to radiation.
The absorbed dose of radiation is measured in a unit called a gray (Gy). Diagnostic tests that use radiation, such as an X-ray, result in a small dose of radiation — typically well below 0.1 Gy, focused on a few organs or small amount of tissue.
Signs and symptoms of radiation sickness usually appear when the entire body receives an absorbed dose of at least 1 Gy. Doses greater than 6 Gy to the whole body are generally not treatable and usually lead to death within two days to two weeks, depending on the dose and duration of the exposure.
The initial signs and symptoms of treatable radiation sickness are usually nausea and vomiting. The amount of time between exposure and when these symptoms develop is an indicator of how much radiation a person has absorbed.
After the first round of signs and symptoms, a person with radiation sickness may have a brief period with no apparent illness, followed by the onset of new, more serious symptoms.
In general, the greater your radiation exposure, the more rapid and more severe your symptoms will be.
| Early symptoms of radiation sickness* | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mild exposure (1-2 Gy) | Moderate exposure (2-6 Gy) | Severe exposure (6-8 Gy) | Very severe exposure (8-10 Gy or higher) | |

DIAGNOSTIC TESTS CAN DETERMINE EXPOSURE.[ A LOOK AT SYMPTOMS RECENTLY DOCUMENTED IN PACIFIC SEA MAMMALS AND BIRDS READS JUST LIKE THE ABOVE, DON'T THEY?]
- Blood tests. Frequent blood tests over several days enable medical personnel to look for drops in disease-fighting white blood cells and abnormal changes in the DNA of blood cells. These factors indicate the degree of bone marrow damage, which is determined by the level of an absorbed dose.
- Dosimeter. A device called a dosimeter can measure the absorbed dose of radiation but only if it was exposed to the same radiation event as the affected person.
- Survey meter. A device such as a Geiger counter can be used to survey people to determine the body location of radioactive particles.
Treatment for damaged bone marrow
A protein called granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, which promotes the growth of white blood cells, may counter the effect of radiation sickness on bone marrow. Treatment with this protein-based medication, which includes filgrastim (Neupogen) and pegfilgrastim (Neulasta), may increase white blood cell production and help prevent subsequent infections.
If you have severe damage to bone marrow, you may also receive transfusions of red blood cells or blood platelets.
Treatment for internal contamination
Some treatments may reduce damage to internal organs caused by radioactive particles. Medical personnel would use these treatments only if you've been exposed to a specific type of radiation. These treatments include the following:
- Potassium iodide. This is a nonradioactive form of iodine. Because iodine is essential for proper thyroid function, the thyroid becomes a "destination" for iodine in the body. If you have internal contamination with radioactive iodine (radioiodine), your thyroid will absorb radioiodine just as it would other forms of iodine. Treatment with potassium iodide may fill "vacancies" in the thyroid and prevent absorption of radioiodine. The radioiodine is eventually cleared from the body in urine. Potassium iodide isn't a cure-all and is most effective if taken within a day of exposure.
- Prussian blue. This type of dye binds to particles of radioactive elements known as cesium and thallium. The radioactive particles are then excreted in feces. This treatment speeds up the elimination of the radioactive particles and reduces the amount of radiation cells may absorb.
- Diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA). This substance binds to metals. DTPA binds to particles of the radioactive elements plutonium, americium and curium. The radioactive particles pass out of the body in urine, thereby reducing the amount of radiation absorbed.
KNOW THE EARLY SIGNS/SYMPTOMS OF CANCER.
"A cancer may cause symptoms like fever, extreme tiredness (fatigue), or weight loss. This may be because cancer cells use up much of the body’s energy supply, or they may release substances that change the way the body makes energy from food. Cancer can also cause the immune system to react in ways that produce these signs and symptoms.
Sometimes, cancer cells release substances into the bloodstream that cause symptoms that are not usually linked to cancer. For example, some cancers of the pancreas can release substances that cause blood clots in veins of the legs. Some lung cancers make hormone-like substances that raise blood calcium levels. This affects nerves and muscles, making the person feel weak and dizzy.
