Nonproliferation is a disguised antinuclear energy effort

ByRod Adams

…ell the EPA to raise their allowable radiation exposures in the event of a dirty bomb attack (and the like) by 350x, to accord with modern scientific understanding. (I may have this somewhat wrong, but it is ballpark.) This looks to me like the camel’s nose under the tent.

…times when no human had even contemplated a sustainable fission reaction. “Dirty bombs” are fantasy weapons invented by anti-nuclear activists. If you find a terrorist group talking about them, you can be assured that they are simply parroting what they have heard.

Radiation, Pollution and Radiophobia

ByRod Adams

…ng politicians using radiophobia as a weapon in seeking power; misleading “dirty bomb” scares by careless analysts; public fear induced by news media that profit by hyping news; counterproductive interests of “greens” (psuedo-environmentalists) who thrive by scaring the public; and undue complacency and laxity within the nuclear industry.

Smoking gun: Robert Anderson provided initial funds to form Friends of the Earth

ByRod Adams

…ey stood on their hind legs and specifically told us exactly just what is “dirty and dangerous” about nuclear energy in lieu the fact that label logically and historically best befits nuclear’s fossil rivals. It also gets me how they keep pointing to Fukushima — a rare nature instigated incident — as an example of why nuclear is so “dirty and dangerous”.
