    Report: Gov't taking too long to secure radioactive material
    2008-07-15 09:57:34
    From USATODAY.com Tech - Top Stories: The government is taking too long to secure radioactive materials across the country that could get into terrorists' hands, according to a government report. Radioactive material used for legitimate purposes in medical equipment and food, fo

    Quotable: Radioactive Man
    2008-05-18 11:22:12
    "The president is the face of the party. He is absolutely radioactive at this point... What has changed since November '06 when the voters threw us out? Usually when a business has a down year, you retool, you come back. We haven't retooled at all."--Virginia Republican Tom Davis, in an interview with Bloomberg, on his party's prospects in November.

    Government renounced Highly Radioactive Material as Clean, Safe and Friendly
    2008-03-26 09:53:00
    FRESH NEWS from UK:Britain's Business and Enterprise Secretary John Hutton said, that nuclear energy:1. is safe2. clean 3. good for the environmentHas he done his homework and spend a month in close proximity to Highly Radioactive Nuclear Material, yet, as he should have done, before he had renounced highly radioactive material as clean, safe and good for the environment.Such a lie on public expense. Such a denial of physical facts. Such a disgrace to the natural science and rational thinking.The Bill for clearing up Highly Radioactive Material from old nuclear power plants is going to be higher than $150 billion. Taxpayers money is going to be spend for covering up old nuclear rubbish, instead for real people and their needs.And here is another series of nuclear power plants...even before, the bill for old nuclear power plants was cleared.P.S.Not a word about free and endless solar power. Not a word about our vast roof surface, which could home solar power shingles and produce free el

    A Radioactive Cat triggered a Dirty Bomb alarm
    2008-03-25 10:50:00
    ...Little cat, sitting in fast driving car had caused a nuclear threat... Just as an interesting intermezzo between a boxing match, where Free Solar Power fights against Dirty Nuclear Power for the Energy Rule over the Earth. Solar Power is losing, badly, due to our governments and political leaders, worldwide.Deadly Dangerous Highly Radioactive Material, which fuels nuclear power stations, is unreasonably supported by governments on behalf of the heavy tens of $billions of Tax Payers money. Nuclear lobby also invest in media and all individual or public decision making processes as much as it could to preserve the existence, running and future prosperity of this Huge Dirty Nuclear Businesses.There was a sick Cat with cancer, which had been treated by radiological therapy in hospital, a few days ago. While driving beside very sensitive radiation sensors the cat triggered them and the car was stopped for a check up. Read more...SlashDot Disscusion forum about this radioactive catPhoto b

    Solar Power vs Highly Radioactive Material: 0:1
    2008-03-25 05:32:00
    Free and Endless Solar Power in Britain has lost against Highly Radioactive Material, which has been financially supported by government on behalf of the tax payers = citizens = electoral base.I believe, that every member of the Government should have spent at least one month of their professional life in very close proximity to Highly Radioactive Material. I don't mean to be exposed to that 'horrible human threat', but to work very close to it to learn how extremely dangerous that matter is.Highly Radioactive Material is certainly one of the most dangerous and serious threats to humanity. The extreme power of high energy radiation could be seen all over the world. Even Marie Curie, one of the most famous nuclear scientists, who discovered so much new about the phenomenon of radioactivity had died of cancer, caused by exposure to radioactive elements.Later, we could see tens of thousands of victims in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan, numerous nuclear tests and clandestine military plan

    American nuclear experts help remove radioactive material from Olympic sites
    2008-03-03 05:42:26
    American nuclear experts had been helping to move radioactive material from Olympic sites ahead of the 2008 Beijing Games. The operation is part of Beijing’s security preparations which would remove the chance of the materials being used as a dirty bomb. Charles Ferguson, fellow for science and technology at the U.S. Council on Foreign Relations, said “I [...]

    Kyrgyzstan National Security Service keeps silence on details about seized radioactive material bound for Iran
    2008-01-17 06:14:00
    The Kyrgyz National Security Service continues to decline comment on taking possession of a small load of a radioactive substance discovered aboard a train bound for Iran, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty reports.RFE/RL's Kyrgyz Service notes that it took the security services nine days to announce the discovery of the material, which was found already on December 31 when radiation detectors alerted Uzbek border guards who reportedly promptly sent the train back to Kyrgyzstan.Kubanych Noruzbaev, an official from the Kyrgyz Ecology and Environmental Protection Ministry, said the material was cesium-137, a product of nuclear reactors and weapons testing that could also be used in a crude radioactive explosive device or a "dirty bomb", radio marks. Kubat Osmonbetov, a geologist, told RFE/RL's Kyrgyz Service that there was a uranium-processing plant in northern Tajikistan, raising the possibility that the Tajik train in question might have been used in the past to transport radioactive material. Osmonbetov also noted that cesium-137 and cesium-140 are definitely lethal in large doses. He said the radioactive material should have been discovered long before the train arrived in Uzbekistan.

    This Day In Gadgets: ATMs Were Born Radioactive 40 Years Ago
    2007-06-27 17:56:10
    This is John Shepherd-Barron, the scottish guy who invented the first ATM. First installed 40 year ago by Barclays, it worked with Carbon 14-impregnated cheques, the same radioactive material that is used to date fossils. But fret not: not only it wasn’t radioactive enough but they were soon replaced by cards and now even dogs can use them. The next step according to him: He says that moving money around costs too much, so ATMs will disappear in just a few years. Instead, he predicts the cellphone will become our next purse for all kinds of transactions. The ATM also brought other things, like the 4-digit PIN number. Shepherd-Barron thought that he could use his six-figure army number as his password, but his wife thought otherwise: “Over the kitchen table, she said she could only remember four figures, so because of her, four figures became the world standard.” The man who invented the cash machine [BBC News]

    The Real Costs of Nuclear War: Radioactive Breastmilk, Birth Defects, Contaminated Food Chains
    2007-05-16 13:33:00
    Well, I'm an Eastern Washington baby, born and raised in the downwind nuclear shadow of Hanford, so this kind of stuff hits especially close to home. If you think humans only suffer injury or death when a plant melts down or a bomb goes boom, think again. Isn't reproduction a freedom and a right to be protected at all costs? Shouldn't the health risks to pregnant women and small children, when coupled with the environmental costs and wreckage, be enough to convince people that nuclear energy is not even remotely safe and we should perhaps find better ways of reducing energy consumption rather than increasing energy production? Anyway, here's a bunch of terrible news on uranium mining in other countries and on Native American reservations, depleted uranium, radioactive breast milk, birth defects in infants due to radiation sickness acquired by their mother from working in nuclear power plants, Hanford's Environmental Impact Statement ... you know, some of that dark underbelly we don't often hear about unless we go looking.Miscarriage, stillbirths after miningGenetic Effects and Birth Defects from Radiation Exposure - Hanford Health Information NetworkCampaign Against Depleted UraniumUranium Mining in UtahHistory of Uranium in UtahGulf War Syndrome, Depleted Uranium And The Dangers Of Low-Level RadiationThe High Cost of Uranium in Navajo LandClaims by uranium companies in the United States have soaredIndigeneous Peoples Call for Global Ban on Uranium MiningWikipedia - Uranium MiningNew Uranium Mining Projects in the USALibertarian Socialist Alliance for Self Managed Energy SystemsAustralian Message Board on uranium mining and a nuclear waste dumpOnline Book on Uranium Mining in SaskatchewanIndustries that are Harmful to WomenFighting breast cancer: A Native woman's journal Miners' health may be the cost of a nuclear futureCancer mortality in a Texas county with prior uranium mining and milling activities, 1950–2001India's Uranium NightmareFinal Hanfor
