NYAS used as part of campaign to increase unwarranted fear about radiation

ByRod Adams

…Greenpeace published a report with a similar name to the one published by NYAS, called The Chernobyl Catastrophe: Consequences on Human Health and author Alexei Yablokov was highly involved in that volume. In his Preface to the book, Yablokov refers to the background work by Greenpeace and others. Most of the content and most of the sources cited are the same, I believe. There were some updates between the Greenpeace Report and the NYAS Annals vo…

Challenging New York Academy of Sciences to repudiate “Chernobyl Consequences”

ByRod Adams

…d The President’s Council. Begin quoted letter. Additional Comments on the NYAS-Greenpeace Report on Chernobyl The type of claims it makes, of extensive radiological damage to people and the environment from the Chernobyl reactor explosion of 1986, have been repeatedly shown to be contradicted by the data. The NYAS report unfortunately carries these claims to new heights, calling the incident “the largest technological catastrophe in history.” cla…

Chernobyl Consequences – Myths and Fables Versus Science

ByRod Adams

…n fund-raising tours through the United States and elsewhere by malformed ‘Chernobyl victims” who didn’t even all live in or near Chernobyl. e. Radioactivity does not possess all the scary properties attributed to it in the report. The report claims as “damage” a wide range of symptoms extending far beyond those previously shown to result from irradiation. In addition, it describes the effects as extending far into the future.: “Nearly 400 million…

…ogical fire involving nearly 10 times the amount of Cs-137 released by the Chernobyl accident. Nearly all of the 10,893 spent fuel assemblies at the Fukushima Daiichi plant sit in pools vulnerable to future earthquakes, with roughly 85 times more long-lived radioactivity than released at Chernobyl.

Defusing Misinformation About “New” Chernobyl Study Before it Has Too Much of a Head Start

ByRod Adams

…rt. Essentially, they construe ANY increase in ANY disease as an effect of Chernobyl. I am surprised the NYAS would want to put their name anywhere near such a blatantly poorly prepared document. Joffan The observations that Jaworowski makes on thyroid cancer perhaps explain something I have been hearing from anti-nukes once or twice; that children in the Chernobyl area are still being detected with high numbers of thyroid cancers. Clearly this is…

…nd excessively protective care.” http://www.iaea.org/Publications/Booklets/Chernobyl/chernobyl.pdf The nuclear industry is in a bit of a mess – some of it self inflicted by very poor communications. However, nuclear technology can enable almost magical improvements in our energy supply picture. In my opinion, the very disruptive nature of the technology is also partly responsible for attracting so many foes – it can upset a whole lot of assumption…

The Left Needs to Reconsider its Automatic Position Against Nuclear Energy

ByGuest Author

…nary figure by attributing every death that occurred to the radiation from Chernobyl, as though suddenly all other causes of death stopped for the time being. The NYAS has been taken to task by many of its members and has been embarrassed for its role in supporting this erroneous report by some Belarusian and Ukrainian scientists who have been soundly refuted. The NYAS disclaims approval of the report, yet they never checked on the factual claims…
