Dear Readers,
The Nuclear Information and Resource Service (NIRS) needs everyone to read, and sign, a letter to the inappropriately-named International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) by March 14th, 2007. That's this Wednesday!
The purpose of the letter is to demand that the full effects of radiation be accounted for when establishing safe levels of exposure. Where that is not possible, then at least LNT (Linear, No Threshold) should be fully accepted in all facets of ICRP recommendations, instead of only selectively where it seems to help ICRP do what ICRP does best: ALLOW negligently-high doses of radioactive materials into our environment and our bodies.
Please read the full letter at the URL given below, and sign on as soon as possible. The people at NIRS feel that this is very important, because ICRP "recommendations" are adopted as "facts" throughout the Nuclear Mafia (uh, that's my term, not NIRS') -- i.e., by regulators in various nations (including the U.S.) and, with the regulators' permission, by industry. In a very real sense, the ICRP is "the root of all evil" (my term again, but NIRS seems to agree!).
NIRS' letter is a powerful indictment of the ICRP, and highly recommended reading. Undoubtedly each sentence of their letter has been carefully considered by some very capable scientists, albeit, not the ones the Nuclear Mafia have paid off.
Please go here to sign on and to read the whole letter. Two excerpts appear below the URL.
Excerpt:
"Even more reprehensible, ICRP claims that assessing damage to only the second generation, ignoring all future generations, is reasonable because many mutations will not be carried over or "recoverable" to the second generation. This is because these mutations will be so detrimental to new life, the organisms affected will not survive. In essence, ICRP is saying we should consider ourselves protected because radiation-induced stillbirths and childhood death will keep our gene pool pure. They are asking us to accept a man-made increase in still birth and childhood death as a reasonable alternative to a man-made increase in future mutation. This contrived and unnecessary choice is nothing short of premeditated murder. If regulators weren't allowing exposures in the first place we wouldn't have to worry about adding to our heritable disease burden. "
But perhaps the most powerful excerpt is this one:
"Ignoring the impact of radiation on stillbirths, women, children, and future generations shows a fundamental lack of understanding about what people value. This disconnect from humanity makes ICRP, at best, inept at radiation protection. "
At best, indeed. The ICRP are a bunch of criminals, on the take by an international crime syndicate known as the Nuclear Mafia. They kill babies (and fetuses) especially, and the rest of us only in droves.
Please forward this information as widely as possible, if you can do so on or before Wednesday, March 14th, 2007!
Thank you!
