its the end of the world :omg:
:doh that was suppose to happen in 1984 , AIDS, SARS, Terrorist Attacks, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan,:yikes:

Ros you should be more concerned about your ILR than the end of the world :rolleyes:

Ros you should be more concerned about your ILR than the end of the world

i am concern of the human life race than any ILR result joes:omg::D am afraid
btw yes i am concern for the future and my children ;) thats what am sayin..
ILR and everyday life will continue but things like that make you felt as though ..whats goin on the world right now:yikes: right Joe:cwm24::D
and don 't deny does it bother you..what IF the food we eat, the water we drink and the air we breath in everyday contaminates but we cant stop life from that ..lolz..
am not bother of any result of ILR or anything..^_^ am not stupid BUT thy WILL be DONE..:)

still bottom LINE:) life goes on..^_^

no it doesn't bother me, I've got more important things that effect me now to worry about :rolleyes:

so when's the world going to end?

Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, 67yrs ago and has the after effects, effected most of us since :Erm:..

Actually, I have to say that I don't know enough about what she is talking about to comment. I wish I did. I remain open minded on the topic.

Dr Caldicott has believed “ this is for real “ since at least the 1970’s when she published “ Nuclear Madness “. Most members - and the general public – have more important things to think about.
• If the risks of radiation do concern you, don’t just listen to her opinion.
• Countries with most of the world’s nuclear weapons understand the effects of them and don’t want to use them. The odds of nuclear war between say the United States and any other nation are low - greatest threats possibly being from North Korea and Iran.
• Nuclear power contributes over a tenth of the world’s energy supply – oil about 2/5, natural gas and coal each about a fifth, the rest being “ renewables “. It has – so far - a fairly safe record. By comparison, China’s coal mines kill 2 – 3 thousand miners a year and air pollution from coal affects many more people in the world.
• Japan – the only country to have suffered mass radiation from atomic attack – had the largest ever earthquake in the country’s history in March last year, killing 20,000 people. Three reactors at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant went into meltdown. Now all but two of their 54 reactors stand shut. Germany has announced it is to give up nuclear energy. We’re waiting for a full government-commissioned report into the disaster this summer, and a UN study to be published next May. There were no recorded deaths related to radiation or the explosion of reactors. The few hundred deaths which did occur were related to evacuation from local hospitals, with worsening of existing conditions like pneumonia and heart disease. Lessons do need to be learned. There was no accident-management plan for earthquakes / tsunamis. Health of 2 million people in the Fukushima area will be monitored for at least 30 years. “ Banking “ of blood stem cells has been proposed for the workers involved in the clean up – because of a future risk of leukaemia. Early signs of thyroid cancer will be looked for in young people.
• In April 1986 the nuclear reactor in Chernobyl exploded, with a few thousand deaths. Radio-active substances were released into the atmosphere. Radio-active iodine was inhaled and ingested in food including milk. An increase in thyroid cancer was noted in children – around 2000 case documented.
• The Three Mile Island accident was a partial nuclear meltdown in the USA in March 1979. Small amounts of radioactive gases and iodine were released into the environment, with only very low level health effects reported ( local radiation exposure being equivalent to that from a chest X Ray ).
• In Japan, there is much more concern about the long-term consequences – including health – of the hundreds of thousands of people forced from their homes by last year’s tsunami.
• The world should be more concerned with coal, gas, and oil supplies running out before there are sufficient alternative sources. Nuclear energy should not be dismissed . Lessons learned from only three accidents in over 30 years should make it safer.
• These are only my opinions - based on the evidence published so far :xxgrinning--00xx3:.

Actually, I do know a little about this sort of thing. Radioactive sources are used widely in the oil industry, globally - Caesium 137. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesium-137 . See this link (great bedtime reading).

(Caesium-137, one of the main threats to those in the area around Fukushima, can cause burns, acute radiation sickness and even death at high doses. It can contaminate food and water and if ingested, gets distributed around the body, where it builds up in soft tissues, such as muscles. It has a half-life of about 30 years, meaning it takes that long for its radioactivity to fall by half. Over time, it is expelled from the body in urine.)

Caesium 137 sources are therefore treated with a high degree of respect and caution. So much so that they are kept in lead lined bunkers in the remotest place possible on an oil rig until they are run in the hole. When they are run, no access is allowed near the area of operation until the source is underground and only authorised personnel are allowed to handle the sources. Each of those personnel have to wear detectors that measure their cumulative exposure and these are personal to them such that if their exposure exceeds a designated limit after a set amount of time then they are no longer allowed to handle them. All radioactive CS137 sources are tracked and accounted for constantly as a matter of extreme priority. It is not permitted to "lose" one of these things, such are the risks involved. They are no more than about a 3 of centimetres in length and 1 centimetre in diameter.

As the lady says, nuclear radiation cant be smelled, felt, tasted etc etc and we have absolutely no idea if it is around. It isnt hot or cold to the touch yet it still burns. It gives NO warning of its presence. Except by geiger counter - one of which is used when sources are used in a drilling situation - I have seen them in operation.)

Again, I dont know enough, but I know enough to know that these substances need to be treated with caution and are indeed treated with caution throughout the length and breadth of the UK and globally.

And, I wouldn't want nuclear waste being dumped at the bottom of my garden either. :omg:

Check this out Moy. Same for Aberdeen. Radioactive gas in Cornwall. :omg:

See what Cornwall council have to say about it.

Radon. Second leading cause of of lung cancer in the USA. Only smoking causes more deaths.

From the EPA:

http://www.epa.gov/radon/pubs/citguide.html

A silent killer under the floorboards. Also in Derbyshire aswell as Cornwall and Aberdeen.

http://www.aboutderbyshire.co.uk/cms/11/radon-the-silent-killer-l.shtml

If you are a smoker then you are more likely to be suceptible to the effects of Radon.

Below is quite a well balanced document on the topic. Cornwall is an area of concern because of the granite there.

http://www.hpa.org.uk/Topics/Radiation/UnderstandingRadiation/UnderstandingRadiationTopics/Radon/

Below is a map of England and Wales and also Scotland showing Radon hotspots.

http://www.hpa.org.uk/Topics/Radiation/UnderstandingRadiation/UnderstandingRadiationTopics/Radon/radon_Map/


We used to think the world was flat. But most of us know better now. We were never aware of the dangers of smoking, but we are a bit wiser now. Some of us still don't get the dangers of passive smoking but we are slowly getting there. Maybe we have more to learn about radioactive sources, even back here in our everyday lives in Blighty.

Is this for real?

"Pacific Bluefin tuna caught off the coast of California have been found to have radioactive contamination from last year's Fukushima nuclear accident.

The fish would have picked up the pollution while swimming in Japanese waters, before then moving to the far side of the ocean.

Scientists stress that the fish are still perfectly safe to eat.

However, the case does illustrate how migratory species can carry pollution over vast distances, they say.

"It's a lesson to us in how interconnected eco-regions can be, even when they may be separated by thousands of miles," Nicholas Fisher, a professor of marine sciences at Stony Brook University, New York, told BBC News.

Fisher and colleagues report their study in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences."
