Chernobyl & Fukushima – neither one caused much of a public health issue

ByRod Adams

…terribly dramatic, video comparing the carefully studied health impacts of Chernobyl versus Fukushima. The primary lesson gleaned from post-Chernobyl analysis is that drinking milk that is heavily contaminated with I-131 can lead to an increased rate of thyroid cancer. That lesson was learned and mitigations were implemented in the aftermath of Fukushima. http://www.youtube.com/embed/emeWOGLCi9w There will be NO negative public health impact from…

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

ByRod Adams

…oint that the Russian authors are claiming regarding the uniqueness of the Chernobyl event. We are asked to give credence to the assertion that because Chernobyl was a “unique event”, the authors of the Annals volume are justified in using methodologies that are in contradiction to the methodologies used by the rest of the scientific world. This point is made throughout the work, I believe. How can such an approach not have raised alarm bells with…

Great Opinion Piece About Chernobyl and the LNT

ByRod Adams

…pinion piece in the October 25, 2005 issue of the Washington Times titled “Chernobyl exposed.” He correctly identifies that the biggest cause of health effects from the accident was the fear that was instilled into the population based on ignorance and misguided government policies. He also provides a concise summary of the scientific fallacy of something known as LNT – the Linear, No Threshold theory of dose response. This “theory”, which is more…

…approval of the crowd. He suggested that the abundance of wildlife around Chernobyl is a hoax fabricated by the Chernobyl Forum in 2006 (go to 18:30) because the Forum had no information to go on. He stated that there were no studies, so the Forum had no evidence that anything was wrong, thus it must be good. He as good as accused the Chernobyl Forum, a world body consisting of the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency), the FAO (Food and Agri…

Platts Energy Week Discusses Jaczko’s odd announcement about reactor safety

ByRod Adams

…So how do we know that this hypothetical increase in infant mortality post-Chernobyl was caused by radioactivity released from Chernobyl and NOT by radioactivity released from coal fired power plants? Again, the effects of fossil energy pollution – mainly in the chemical toxin area (e.g., mercury and other metal releases, not to mention particulate pollution) – have a far greater impact on overall human health and mortality – including that of inf…

What should “Radioactive Wolves” teach critical thinkers?

ByRod Adams

…vens Good points all, Cal Abel. I sent a radiation biologist familiar with Chernobyl a query about the documentary on the wolves of Chernobyl: Why did the narrator say that the people studying the wolves and taking samples from them would be “poisoned” by the ingestion of a single wolf’s hair? My contact had no idea what the script-writer would have meant by that remark. It does not appear to be based on science. Several scenes show the scientists…

Shaken, flooded, stressed by power outages, Fukushima Daiichi moves into second place

ByRod Adams

…to say that this accident is even close to being in the same league of the Chernobyl disaster really both vastly overstates this accident and understates Chernobyl. Yes, there will be some cesium contamination, and yes, there will be some health effects. But I have been monitoring the IAEA rather closely, and compared with Chernobyl, well, its a peashooter. Compared to the *refinery fire* its a peashooter – hell, the refinery fire was probably a l…
