Newton's First Law of Motion, Amendment One
by Andrew Kishner

Newton's First Law of Motion, Amendment One: 'An atomic cannonball in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.'

The cannonball has been fired. It broke loose in a manmade race against time from the sacred grounds of the Mescalero Apache and escaped from the sights of the club of secret scientists. It traveled north-east into the mountains. There it disappeared, dug deep into the ground and penetrated the core of the earth, where it turned white-hot and surfaced again in a blistering rage of fury in the land of the rising sun. It fell back through the burning flesh of bodies of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and pierced down again into the magma of the earth, where it heated up to the brightness of one thousand suns, shooting up Pacific islands of flames, vaporizing islands, and turning fish and people and air into radioisotopes. It sunk shamelessly through the deep ocean floor carrying the screaming voices of Marshallese children with it and pierced the ground of Yucca Flat with 100 flashes in the early morning skies. The cannonball flew past Ely and Logan and Dixie and Mercury and back, again and again, littering red canyons with its hot ash and turning crisp clear clouds into reddish-pink from its fury. The Shoshone wept in grief, children played in its white soot and winds carried its toxic residues to four legged herbivores that were eaten by two legged carnivores. It nipped the angels high up in the thin white firmament and with a last exhale of rage shredded the crust of Pahute Mesa and reverberated in the underground rock where it stayed for 30 years, rumbling and rocking and shaking and foaming more ash into the skies, which children ate as snow and we all gasped thinking it was God's clean air.

It destroyed everywhere and everyone. It destroyed parlor shop owners and bowling alley patrons, diners at diners, and cut whole towns in half. Left behind were bodies and lesions, burns and leukemias, sarcomas and myelomas. They will too shoot through our epidermis and back into our thyroid and prostate.

But the cannonball is still moving, slowly moving, like the desert tortoise. But not stopped. Drowned out by the flashing lights and ringing noises of Las Vegas, the rumbling is still there, happening just north, off a desert highway.

Tips for arguing with radiation PR people
When they belittle your claims...	by comparing any exposure from their facilities to...	You say or ask...
...about your exposure to fallout from nuke plants or weapons testing fallout...	....background radiation...	'Background radiation doesn't mean it is harmless - it probably does cause a small portion of cancers. If you are adding to the background radiation, you are adding to someone's risk.' 'How many more defective children will be born and how many cancers will be induced by this increase in 'background radiation'?
...about your exposure to fallout from nuke plants or weapons testing fallout...	...flying in a airplane...	'That is not a realistic comparison. Radionuclides in fallout are incorporated into our bodies (tissue, bones). Most of the radiation from cosmic rays is external.'
...about your exposure to fallout from nuke plants or weapons testing fallout...	... a chest x-ray...	'You don't ingest or inhale the radiation source from x-rays. An x-ray lasts for a millisecond. Fallout lingers in body tissue and bones for decades .'
...about your exposure to fallout from nuke plants or weapons testing fallout...	...eating a banana	'Potassium-40 is a naturally occurring radioisotope that has been present in foods and the environment on Earth for billions of years. Potassium 40, which at normal body levels delivers an annual internal dose to the soft tissue of 20 millirem and 5 millirem to the bone, is not as hazardous as many forms of anthropogenic (meaning: artificial; manmade) radiation for several reasons. One main reason is, unlike many types of manmade fission products, its environmental levels rarely peak to hundreds or thousands of times normal levels. Since 1945, we've seen a cycle of drastic rising and falling of levels of environmental anthropogenic radiation with nuclear accidents, non-accident releases, radioactivity blowing around, etc... Another reason: some forms of anthropogenic radiation in the body do much more damage than potassium-40 for the same quantity of radiation. Dose tables printed in a 1970s document (NUREG 1.109 rev. 1 Oct. '77) by the NRC paint a spooky, yet realistic, picture for what happens to a radiation sensitive organ, the thyroid, when iodine-131 is consumed. A NRC formula indicates that 1,000 picocuries of iodine-131 gives a dose of 80 millirems to the adult thyroid and 140 millirems to the thyroid of an infant. Consider: one liter of 'Sunrise Dairy' (Kansas) milk in April 2011 had 1,518 pCi/L of Iodine-131. That was from Fukushima.
...about your exposure to fallout from nuke plants or weapons testing fallout...	...standing next to a smoke alarm....	'You don't ingest or inhale the Americium-241 from smoke alarms. You're talking about the small gamma component of Am-241. That's external exposure.'
