The NRC Considers Amending Radioactive Release Regulations
Amending it so this filthy industry can poison us more or less is the question…

Part of the NRC’s mission includes making sure nuclear power plants control and monitor the very small amounts of radioactive material that might be released during normal operations. Filtering and otherwise maintaining a reactor’s cooling water can create radioactive gases and liquids. The amounts generated and released vary depending on a reactor’s design and overall performance. The primary regulations for radioactive emissions (also called radioactive effluents) from commercial nuclear power plants are in 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I.
These rules are designed to keep normal airborne or liquid releases low enough that any public radiation dose would be a minute fraction of the dose from natural background radiation. Appendix I also requires U.S. nuclear power plants to further reduce potential doses as much as reasonably possible. This set of regulations includes requirements for plants to regularly sample…

Nuclear Power: Dangerous, Dirty & Expensive- 20 Key Facts
The simple fact is that nuclear power is terribly dangerous. From a health and safety standpoint, it is utterly irrational for us to continue to generate electricity by splitting the atom. Nuclear power is unreasonably expensive. When all of its costs are considered, it becomes clear that nuclear power is unaffordable. Importantly, a reliance upon nuclear power impedes our efforts to develop and implement the production of electricity by safe, affordable, sustainable means, such as solar, wind, and geothermal.
Here are twenty key facts about nuclear power.
Also, I have included, below, links to some of the websites that provide extensive information about nuclear power.
I hope you will check out the powerful video that is embedded, below. It does an excellent job of summarizing the most serious problems with nuclear power, through excerpts of testimony by some of the nation’s most respected…

ENFORCED AMNESIA – THE DISPOSSESSION OF MEMORY PART 2
“I want you to forget. I’m ordering you to forget what you wrote in this report.“
ENFORCED AMNESIA – THE DISPOSSESSION OF MEMORY
Every time they say “look here!” or “look there!” look more closely at where they do not point. And look most closely at the people they point away from. And these are the ones closest in to the poison.
The NRC has a bad habit of ignoring the FACTS.
The NRC has a bad habit of ignoring the FACTS.
Keith Miller, Professor of Mathematics, UC Berkley, told the NRC core cooling systems were potentially inadequate, They did not agree. Unfortunately? They were wrong… and this was proven without any doubt in Fukushima Prefecture, at the Daiichi NPP…

Strontium, the Bogeyman exists, a Wicked One Two Punch
The boogey man is real and is coming for us all.. strontium- nuclear nightmare.

————————————————————————————————————-
There are bogeymen that we do not speak of, but let us speak of them now.
Indeed, Strontium is truly the Bogeyman. The “hit energy” is .546MeV Beta, which if that is not bad enough, the daughter radionuclide of that reaction is Yttrium Y90 with a short half life of 2.5 days….so you get a quick and predictable secondary blast of Beta but this time at a much higher energy at 2.2 MeV. This is THE HIGHEST FORCE punch of any of the common radionuclides. Think Mohammed Ali.
Ouch, so first you get sucker punched by the Zombie Bogeyman, then in your weakened state, your get a point blank massive blow from a MMA fighter.
Strontium goes right into the bone and stays there, and of course the blood is produced in the bones, and then you get leukemia, which is…
