MEDICAL RESEARCH SHOWS EVEN 1 to 2 X RAYS DURING PREGNANCY DOUBLES THE CHILD LEUKEMIA AND CANCER RATE
Dr. Alice Stewart showed that even a couple of X rays (1-2 Rads) during a mother's pregnancy created a 200% increase in leukemia and cancer for those children later in life.
(AGRP: Yet, even today, many medical doctors and facilities still use Xrays on pregnant moms and publish information that can be found via the Internet, that X Raying pregnant mothers is ok to do, and they advise that women should be Xrayed during pregnancy. Do a google search and see for yourself)
Even low exposure to X-rays, gamma rays increases cancer risk, study finds

WHO CHECKS THAT RADIATION EMITTING MACHINES ARE OPERATING PROPERLY?
AGRP: Even for people who do believe in judicious use of X rays for broken bones and such, how does one know that it is even operating properly, or if it has a 'leak'? Don't assume someone operating any kind of radiation machine knows anything. The operators of the X Ray machine may have been hired yesterday and know enough to just push buttons. They are told it is all safe, while it is actually malfunctioning and emitting dangerous levels of radiation. Unless you take a radiation detector with you and check it out, you don't know anything either..
Here is just one small example..
Via uwantsun September 25, 2014 Took the Inspector plus to my dentist in December…the thing freaked out ... red-lined the device, when for a test, she ran the xray machine while i was down the hall, with a lead wall between us. The Inspector's make quite a racket when they hit 2500!
Gasoline pumps and weight scales in retail stores are inspected and certified annually by the government agency; Weights And Measures. Who inspects and certifies nuclear radiation devices that may pose severe hazards and risks to people and communities? Is anyone responsible? Does anyone care?

NUCLEAR BOMB TEST FALLOUT CAUSED HUGE RISE IN INFANT/CHILD CANCERS AND DEATHS
Dr. Sternglass reports that skin doctors (dermatologists) used to treat acne with X rays, which then caused skin cancer. If 2 rads can double the cancer risk in kids, what happens when people get the equivalent of this from nuclear bomb test fallout, or from nuclear plant accidents, such as Fukushima? Dr. Sternglass predicted a huge rise in cancers and leukemia rates in children, which came true, as he predicted.
He talks about how his scientific epidemiology and medical work led to President John F. Kennedy calling for a ban on atmospheric testing of nuclear bombs. The nuclear/military industry did not want to stop nuclear bomb testing, so they kept on testing underground.
Dr. John Gofman's important work on the increase of childhood cancers and leukemia was attacked (and is still being attacked/dismissed) by the pro nuclear power industry shills, even after many scientists testified in front of Congress about the dangers of low dose radiation exposure dangers. Many mothers got mad and marched in front of the White House..
As a result of these brave scientists and protests by courageous moms standing up to the nuclear and military industrial complex, President Kennedy signed the test ban treaty, right before he was assassinated.

Dr. Ernest Sternglass, a radiation physicist, board member and co-founder of Radiation and Public Health Project, speaks at the RPHP luncheon held in New York City 6/2013. Dr. Sternglass talks about the bomb test era and President Kennedy's determination to avoid a nuclear war and how he was assassinated due to his opposition to the nuclear/military industrial complex. Dr. Sternglass was honored with a copy of his testimony that he gave to Congress on August 22, 1963. He has 13 patents, and is an innovator of the digital x-ray! His role in the decrease of nuclear weapons and now nuclear reactors, is a major part of his legacy.

Art And Science Of Deception; Global Corporations And The 1%
http://agreenroad.blogspot.com/p/corporations-art-and-science-of.html
The nuclear industry still kept on testing underground. Those underground tests 'leaked' huge amounts of radiation. When the radiation particles went up in the air, they traveled for hundreds to thousands of miles and then came down in the rain. One rainstorm came down 'hot' in Albany New York, and caused a spike in infant mortality in that local region.
VERY HIGH RADIATION CAN AND DOES COME DOWN IN RAIN THOUSANDS OF MILES DOWNWIND FROM NUCLEAR ACCIDENTS OR BOMB TESTS
The radiation coming from Nevada was discovered on a campus there, when Geiger Counter high radiation alarms went off during the rainstorm. They called the AEC and found out a nuclear bomb had been set off in Nevada, and the fallout plume drifted across the US and came down with the rain in Albany New York, with the same negative effect as if those people had lived downwind, very close to the test. The result was childhood cancer rates doubling 4 to 5 years later, after the initial exposure. Dr. Sternglass points out that 90% of the fallout from an accident or nuclear bomb going off comes down in rain or snow, potentially very far away from the initial event.
NUCLEAR BOMB TEST 'DILUTED' FALLOUT CAUSED 300,000 CHILDREN TO DIE UP TO 1968
He calculated that just up to 1968 and only in the USA, over 300,000 infants and children died in excess of the normal amount one would expect, which was attributed to the open air and underground nuclear bomb tests.

None of these children were close to the nuclear bomb test sites. Fallout plumes and hot particles traveled long distances, came down with rain and exposed children, infants and pregnant women to the cumulative low dose radiation effects over a long period of time.
ABOUT DR. GOFMAN
Via ChasAha Dr. Gofman was genius and ahead of his time. Wikipedia; "American scientist and advocate. He was Professor Emeritus of Molecular and Cell Biology at University of California at Berkeley." "Some of his early work was on the Manhattan Project, and he shares patents on the fissionability of uranium-233 as well as on early processes for separating plutonium from fission products." "Dr. Gofman later worked in medicine and led the team that discovered and characterized lipoproteins in the causation of heart disease." "In 1963, he established the Biomedical Research Division for the Livermore National Laboratory, where he was on the cutting edge of research into the connection between chromosomal abnormalities and cancer."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Gofman
VanneV November 30, 2014 “…The following is chapter 4 from the 1982 book Nuclear Witnesses, Insiders Speak Out and is an interview with Dr. John Gofman detailing his personal experiences and knowledge regarding the nuclear establishment. Dr. Gofman is a Professor Emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley (Ph.D. in nuclear-physical chemistry and an M.D.) who was the first Director of the Biomedical Research Division of the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory from 1963-65 and one of nine Associate Directors at the Lab from 1963-1969. He was involved in the Manhattan Project and is a co-discoverer of Uranium-232, Plutonium-232, Uranium-233, and Plutonium-233, and of slow and fast neutron fissionability of Uranium-233. He also was a co-inventor of the uranyl acetate and columbium oxide processes for plutonium separation. He has taught in the radioisotope and radiobiology fields from the 1950s at least up into the 1980s, and has done research in radiochemistry, macromolecules, lipoproteins, coronary heart disease, arteriosclerosis, trace element determination, x-ray spectroscopy, chromosomes and cancer and radiation hazards. Starting in 1969 he began to challenge the AEC claim that there was a "safe threshold" of radiation below which no adverse health effects could be detected….”
NUCLEAR INDUSTRY TRIED TO COVER UP THIS RESULT AND GOT RID OF DR. GOFMAN WHEN HE WOULD NOT PLAY THE COVERUP GAME
When Dr. Gofman was hired as the head of a nuclear lab and he found that increased death rates were being caused by nuclear bomb tests, the nuclear industry would not allow him to publish it in their peer reviewed journals, which is still the case today, for any nuclear scientists. They asked him to publish a study saying Dr. Sternglass is wrong, but DON'T publish any of your own research data, which shows an increase in cancers and deaths.
Because Gofman had morals and ethics, (unlike most nuclear scientists) he did not comply with their 'request' to falsify data. He refused to attack a whistleblower telling the truth. As a result of this, his funding was slowly strangled and he was forced out of the nuclear industry and blacklisted, so he could no longer find work. He ended up becoming a whistleblower, just like Dr. Sternglass. As a medical doctor and a PhD physics professor, he kept studying the negative effects of radiation.
Scientific Nuclear Fraud At Major Colleges, Universities and Nuclear Research Facilities Uncovered And Analyzed; via @AGreenRoad

Via Heart of the Rose December 7, 2014 "Over the years, as Japan’s nuclear sector grew, so did the nuclear village’s power and influence. (Hymans 2011) There has been a proliferation of vested interests in nuclear power that benefit from its expansion ranging from the companies directly involved to lenders and investors in nuclear energy-related firms and extending down to grant-seeking academic researchers.... The Village shares a common commitment to nuclear energy, and that means ostracizing naysayers and critics and denying them the access and benefits that “members” enjoy. This modern version of the traditional practice of murahachibu (village exclusion) has been the stick, while access to vast resources and corridors of power are the carrot. Researchers who don’t support the Village consensus on the need, safety, reliability and economic logic of nuclear power don’t get grants and are denied promotions.
Journalists who criticize the nuclear village are denied access and other perks, while politicians seeking contributions, and media companies eager for a slice of the utilities’ massive advertising budgets, trim their sails accordingly. Crossing the nuclear village carries consequences just as support has delivered benefits; during the Fukushima crisis the chairman of TEPCO was in China treating favored members of some of Japan’s largest media organizations to a luxury junket."
Japan’s Nuclear Village 日本の原子力ムラ
Dr. Gofman paid this same price and was kicked out of the nuclear village or club. He is now attacked and smeared viciously, as are all anti nuclear activists or groups, no matter who they are are.
Money can and does buy off a lot of people as pointed out by the above article.. It will buy people in politics, TV mass media, regulators, print media, environmental groups, universities, colleges, schools, researchers, nuclear labs and more.

100 NUCLEAR PLANTS IN USA ALONE, CAUSE AN ESTIMATED ADDITIONAL 300,000 DEATHS PER YEAR, ACCORDING TO DR. GOFMAN MD PHD
Dr. Gofman concluded that with just 25 existing nuclear power plants back in the 1950-60's, there would be an additional 30,000 infant/child deaths EACH YEAR. Since the US currently has over 100 nuclear plants operating, multiple this figure times FOUR, which equals 300,000 additional infant deaths EACH YEAR.

12 reasons why all nuclear power plants must be shut down; via @AGreenRoad
http://agreenroad.blogspot.com/2012/03/12-reasons-why-all-nuclear-power-plants.html
1 BWR NUCLEAR POWER PLANT RELEASES 7,000 CURIES OF RADIATION PER YEAR
Via RiskySeptember 24, 2014 the amount of "Curies" of just 16 radionuclides emitted into the air from a Boiling Water Reactor nuclear power plant per year:
Here is the radionuclide and the amount of curies released:
Ar41 — 25
Kp83m — 1
Kp85m — 150
Kp85 — 290
Kp87 — 200
Kp88 — 240
Xe131m — 18
Xe133m — 1
Xe133 — 3200
Xe135m — 749
Xe135 — 1100
Xe138 — 1400
I131 — .3
I133 — 1.1
C14 — 9.5
H3 — 43
Total = approximately 7378 Curies
1 PWR NUCLEAR POWER PLANT RELEASES 14,000 CURIES OF RADIATION PER YEAR
My math is probably off but this may equal 272,986,000,000,000 bq PER YEAR from just these 16 radionuclides. This doesn't even include plutonium, uranium, or the other hundreds of radionuclides released. :: Here are the amount of curies released from Pressurized Water Reactors yearly (PWR)
Ar41 — 25
Kp83m — 1
KP85m — 16
KP85 — 470
Kp87 — 3
Kp88 — 23
Xe131m — 82
Xe133m — 120
Xe133 — 12,000
Xe135m — 1
Xe135 — 86
Xe138 — 1
I131 — .025
I133 — .023
C14 — 8
H3 — 1,100
Total = approximately 13,935 curies
My math could be wrong but if not, EACH PWR could be releasing 515,595,000,000,000 Bq into the air per year. I think the US has 35 Boiling Water Reactors (BWR) and 65 Pressurized Water Reactors (PWR) which again IF my math is correct, they are releasing......
US NUCLEAR PLANTS RELEASE 35,805 TBQ OF DEADLY HEAVY METALS AND RADIATION EACH YEAR
35 BWR’s = 18,060 Tbq a year
65 PWR's = 17,745 Tbq a year
just for those 16 radionuclides"
1,200,000 CHILDREN KILLED GLOBALLY EACH YEAR BY NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS
Is it any surprise that this amount of heavy metal and radioactive poison would cause additional deaths among the most vulnerable populations?
Starting with the figures provided by Dr. Sternglass, multiply the above 300,000 infants/children killed number again by FOUR, because there are at least 400 nuclear power plants globally, so the total number of children dying each year globally from all nuclear power plants is 1,200,000. Multiply this number again to get the total numbers of cancers, leukemias, birth defects, and other genetic diseases including things like diabetes, thyroid problems, autism, ADD, etc.
The work of Stewart, Gofman and Sternglass led to scientists worldwide accepting the linear non threshold model of health and radiation exposure. In other words, there is NO SAFE DOSE OF RADIATION, PERIOD.
LICENSING A NUCLEAR PLANT IS LIKE APPROVING CHILD GENOCIDE QUOTE BY DR GOFMAN
"LICENSING A NUCLEAR POWER PLANT IS IN MY VIEW, LICENSING RANDOM PREMEDITATED MURDER. FIRST OF ALL, WHEN YOU LICENSE A PLANT, YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING--SO IT'S PREMEDITATED. YOU CAN'T SAY, "I DIDN'T KNOW." SECOND, THE EVIDENCE ON RADIATION-PRODUCING CANCER IS BEYOND DOUBT...IT IS NOT A QUESTION ANY MORE: RADIATION PRODUCES CANCER, AND THE EVIDENCE IS GOOD ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE LOWEST DOSES."

How long will legalized genocide of the most innocent children be allowed to continue, both inside the nuclear industry and in the medical industry? How long will it take for the large environmental organizations to wake up and realize that when they are supporting nuclear power through their greenwashing efforts via 350.org and other organizations like it, they are supporting genocide?
SUMMARY
How long will legalized genocide of the most innocent children be allowed to continue, both inside the nuclear industry and in the medical industry? How long will it take for the large environmental organizations to wake up and realize that when they are supporting nuclear power through their greenwashing efforts via 350.org and other organizations like it, they are supporting genocide?
The experts will try to attack and discredit both Dr. Gofman, who is one of their own, as well as Dr. Sternglass, who is also one of their own, just like any other whistleblower that takes on the nuclear industry. A Green Road Project is also a target of these pro nuclear apologists. AGRP has been labeled by these nuclear apologists as 'fearmongering' or a 'worthless blog', as 'non expert', or as 'non peer reviewed'. But do any of these labels hold water, much less credibility or truth?
ChasAha September 26, 2014 Dr. John Gofman Medical Physicist (Nuclear Power Pioneer) "…advanced degrees confer no special expertise in either common sense or morality. That's why many laymen are better qualified to judge nuclear power than are the so-called experts."
AGRP features the leading minds, with PhD's, MD's featuring prominently in many investigative articles. So when the nuclear apologists attack AGRP, they are attacking the PhD's, the MD's, not AGRP. AGRP provides a focus on truth telling whistleblowing service by exposing the lies, deceptions and denials that are usually tied to a profit making industry, such as the nuclear/military industrial complex. Can whistle blowers and investigators really be so easily dismissed with nothing more than a label and an ad hominem attack? Are you going to allow them to do that?
