When it comes to the truth about radiation and health effects,
there are no experts who are honest - not in government, not in science, not anywhere. Yet, people would rather
listen to liars than challenge their assumptions about the sources of the so-called truth and disregard the purveyors
of actual truth on this topic: the non-creditialed self-taught. - Andrew Kishner, May 18, 2013

What you can learn in the book: Every cancer and leukemia
since 1945 can be fractionally blamed on one thing: nuclear testing fallout. 'Chernobyl fallout' was 90-95% from Chernobyl and the rest from a covered-up U.S. nuclear release. There are dozens of nuclear reactors orbiting us - many have crashed on Earth. The U.S. may have replicated a 'Hiroshima' inferno on actual humans (in cages in Nevada). Your cremated remains mixed into water would be undrinkable per the EPA because of its strontium-90 levels.

Appendix 6 (to Rongelapese)
FINAL ANALYSIS
This whole scenario is no different
than moving a Western Shoshone tribe to Yucca Flat,
removing some soil, throwing some fertilizer on the farming areas and
telling them everything will be okay.
What to do?
A. We must consider that
radiation victims - both those who were exposed from Bravo and those who
weren't but lived in the radioactive environment of Rongelap from
1957-1983 - have compromised immune systems. They shouldn't
be exposed to any unnecessary radiation.
The National Research Council's study
titled Radiological
Assessments for the Resettlement of Rongelap in the Republic of the
Marshall Islands [1994, National Academies Press] states as a
possible but 'extreme' solution the 'removal of the top 30-40 cm of soil
from the island.' Although this 'extreme' measure wasn't
recommended ('Such an extreme measure should be one of last resort')
because it would have severe impacts on the environment (and topsoil
likely wouldn't regrow for a long, long time), NC (NuclearCrimes) thinks
this measure is the preferred one if resettlement is a high
priority.
B. The idea of taking
residence elsewhere (on OTHER ISLANDS) on the atoll in the future should
be 100% discouraged. The
Marshall Islands Journal article titled 'Home
At Last' (Feb. 12, 2010) notes that "a segment of the
population that has land rights on Eneaetok Island wants to move back to
this unimproved island to the north of Rongelap Island. To meet this
need will require houses in addition to the 40 planned and budgeted for.
A new school and dispensary needs to be completed." Eneaetok
Island, however, may have strontium-90 levels 150% that of Rongelap
Island and no post-1978 sampling has occurred on Eneaetok.
C. Trust monies should be used
for more extensive Sr90 soil sampling and Pu239/240 and Pu238 sampling
of the 5-10cm and deeper soil stratas on Rongelap Island.
Other radionuclides that should be tested for include Sb125,
Zn65, Cr144, Pr144, and Bu155.
The U.S. government should grant all
requests for radiological sampling and cleanup activities.
D. A list of all the
radiological surveys of Rongelap Island that included soil sampling, as
we have mentioned above, should be made readily available on DOE and RMI
websites. Neither entity has mentioned and linked to most or all
of the soil surveys.
E. Rongelapese must put safety
above the prospect of tourism revenue and the allure of resettlement of
their home island. They must complete a second comprehensive
nationwide radiological study that doesn't mirror previous ones by DOE.
A second study must test for (a) radionuclides that were tested by DOE
but at depths never or rarely sampled, and (b) all long-lived
radionuclides that were never or rarely tested by DOE, including Sr90.
F. It is impossible to
construct dose without having reliable data on Sr90 uptake and
concentration by plants and animals and also concentration in human
bones/teeth. Both require data gathering of Strontium-90.
This hasn't been adequately done.
The
strontium-90 all over Rongelap Island hasn't been removed. Although 75% of it is
gone due to decay, even with these lower levels we can assume
that when and if Rongalepese return, their body strontium-90 levels may
rise several times their 'normal' levels. All animals - fish, crabs, etc..
- are bioaccumulators of radiostrontium; they pool strontium-90 into
their bodies at concentrations tens or hundreds of times levels found in
vegetation. Who will stop the animals from foraging and
hunting on Rongelap Island or, worse, other contaminated
islands? How can islanders tell which crabs (or other
animals, or even foods) are the most contaminated? How can they tell
what are the animals' Sr90 levels? Or what Sr90 is even
accumulating in their own bodies?? Rongelapese CAN NOT determine their
strontium-90 body levels using a WHOLE BODY COUNTER, which only tracks
gamma rays. LLNL's MIDARP website
states: "The whole body counting systems installed in the Marshall
Islands contain large volume sodium iodide radiation detectors that
measure gamma rays coming from radionuclides deposited in the
body." Strontium-90 DOES NOT emit gamma rays.9
G. The U.S. CDC notes that
U.S. soils contain levels of plutonium from global fallout of about 0.01
to 0.1 pCi/g. Rongelap's soils contain anywhere from 40 to 400
times these levels. The Rongelapese must ask themselves if the
American people and several leading scientists condemned and ultimately
stopped Divine Strake, then why would the Rongelapese want to live on
similarly contaminated soils (we have tried to make the case in this
analysis that the Divine Strake GZ in Area 16 of the NTS is just as
contaminated as Rongelap Island).
