#Over Time, Nuclear power Would Kill Fewer People Than Petroleumusing nuclear power for energy instead of coal has prevented almost 2 million pollution-related deaths around the world
The paper argues that policymakers should increase nuclear power rather than continuing dependence on fossil fuels. The 2011 disaster at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant should not deter governments from expanding nuclear power according to Hansen
and its lead author Pushker A. Kharecha of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies
and Columbia University Earth Institute On the contrary nuclear power will prevent further deaths from air pollution they argue.
Even taking the disaster at Fukushima into account they calculate that global nuclear power has prevented about 1. 84 million air pollution-related deaths
which fuel nuclear power will be replacing.)Nuclear power has prevented already 64 gigatons of greenhouse gas emissions and would prevent the equivalent of another 80 to 240 gigatons again depending on
which fuel it replaces. The paper does acknowledge the serious health and environmental concerns related to storage of nuclear waste.
But the main point is that nuclear power is cleaner and greener than sources that belch carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
and he has rankled environmental groups with his support for nuclear power. With his departure from NASA the climate research community loses one of its most vocal members
The same holds for nuclear power vs. other energy sources. The*real*risk of a nuclear power disaster is far less than the*(mis) perceived*risk.
If nuclear power was safe we would not need the Priceã¢Â#Ânderson Nuclear Industries Indemnity Act.@
@Anyclon I have seen never a better comparison. Those occurrences get blown out of proportion because people do not realize the big picture
--and that includes Anyclon who refuses to believe that nuclear power is less risky than most other sources of energy.
I read somewhere that coal fire power plants release more radiation (in the form of radioactive impurities being vaporized) into the atmosphere every year than all nuclear power plants ever (including meltdowns.
but we're at such a point in our'advancement'that our diluted pollutants are reaching toxic levels. 1. Nuclear power plants emit dangerous radiation into the air and water during their DAILY operations.
Cancer-causing radiation such as Iodine-131 Cesium-137 Tritium Krypton Strontium...2. A NEW Gallup Poll says over 70%of Americans want more WIND
and Ecological Consequences of Fukushima in which the amount of cancers caused by radiation in our food
and in our environment from nuclear meltdowns and nuclear power plants was discussed. The total amounts of deaths birth defects miscarriages heart attacks cancers etc. due to nuclear radiation is in the millions upon millions;
far surpassing any deaths that could be caused by any other energy. That is why nuclear energy is rightly known as the most dangerous energy in the world.
/id=hcf@Listenup 1. Coal Ash Is More Radioactive than Nuclear Waste http://www. scientificamerican. com/article. cfm?
id=coal-ash-is-more-radioactive-than-nuclear-waste2. I do agree we shall go for clean renewable energy
I think nuclear fission energy will be suitable as a transitional substitution mean while. 3. Let's hope we can have feasible nuclear fusion energy soon.
Why can't they take nuclear fuel rods into space and drop them to burn up in reentry to atmosphere?
You don't seem to realize that there are only TWO events in all of history that actually spread any significant amount of radioactive particles into the atmosphere from nuclear reactors-Chernobyl
and Fukushima. 3 mile island caused less extra radiation than you'd get from a cross-country flight.
By contrast coal-fired power plants release higher quantities of radioactive isotopes directly into the atmosphere than even the oldest nuclear reactors ever did.
Just Google radioactive coal ash (without quotes) and you'll learn the truth about coal.
They won't become any less radioactive just by getting a little hot. The nuclear dream is fading fast.
Fukushima is expected by Dr. Helen Caldicott M d. to cause at least 1 million deaths by cancer due to radioactivity already released.
If a Magnitude 8 earthquake strikes Japan before a fuel pool dangling 100 feet in the air is secured the resulting radioactivity is expected to be at least 40 times that of Chernobyl causing untold millions of cancers across the Northern hemisphere.
Markwhen environmentalists sue nuclear power plants and stop them from proceeding we should sue the environmentalists for killing us.
The newest generations of nuclear power plants are some of the most well design and safest power plants in the world.
Nuclear power is a very good thing. However given his penchant for wildly distorting numbers in his computer models the estimated number of lives saved 1. 84 million should be treated with the same credence as virtually every other ridiculous claim he has made ever.
and about as mature as your avatar. 1. A quick trip to wikipedia shows many many nuclear meltdowns and accidents such as Santa Susana in California and the Urals in Russia which spewed tons of radiation
over unsuspecting populations. 2. Comparing radiation received from an airplane flight to exposure to nuclear radiation
which is inhaled/ingested is a hugely false comparison (so is comparing it to bananas or radiation from watching TV etc.)
These comparisons are made by pro-nuclear propagandists to try to minimize the dangers of nuclear radiation. 3. Nuclear radiation is highly dangerous
and there is NO SAFE DOSE of nuclear radiation. Dr. Romeo F. Quijano said this about nuclear radiation:
The small amount of radiation claimed to be safe by authorities added to our increasingly fragile environment will cause serious harm to the health of human beings and other living organisms all over the world.
Radioactive particles especially Plutonium Strontium and Cesium are bioaccumulative extremely persistent and highly toxic. They travel long distances
and will contaminate all regions on earth. www. abs-cbnnews. com/insights/04/01/11/nuclear-radiation-there-no-safe-dose4.
Dr. Yablokov found ONE MILLION deaths due to Chernobyl. 5. Dr. Wing found that lung cancers rose dramatically in people exposed to the Three Mile Island radiation plume. 6. Dr. Gould
and Dr. Sternglass found a statistically significant increase of ONE MILLION deaths after Three Mile Island.
coast. 9. Dr. Gofman did studies on the increases of breast cancer due to nuclear radiation. 10.
and predicts a 70%increase thyroid cancer risk in females exposed to Fukushima radiation as infants. 11.
It's not just cancers and death that nuclear radiation causes. Dr. Wertelecki found teratomos conjoined twins mocrophthalmia NTD microcephaly horrible birth defects and a decrease in cognitive skills due to Chernobyl.
and health effects caused by nuclear radiation. Again I highly recommend everyone watch the speakers at the Fukushima Symposium to learn more. www. totalwebcasting. com/view/?
/id=hcfthe doctors at the Symposium have spent decades studying the effects of nuclear radiation and their grim analysis is in their presentations.
And nuclear radiation is not just affecting humans. Animals are showing signs of radiation exposure.
Fish have been caught with radiation. An entire species of nails is extinct due to Fukushima. Radiation is being in found in seaweed zooplankton and sea life in the oceans.
Animal and plant mutations are being found everywhere. There is no doubt about it. Man-made nuclear radiation is wreaking havoc on human genetics human health and our environment.
NEW Gallup Poll: Americans Want More Energy From Wind Solar Gasno fewer than two in three Americans want the U s. to put more emphasis on producing domestic energy using solar power (76%)wind (71%)and natural gas (65%.
%Far fewer want to emphasize the production of oil (46%)and the use of nuclear power (37%.
%Least favored is coal with about one in three Americans wanting to prioritize its domestic production. www. gallup. com/poll/161519/americans-emphasis-solar-wind-natural-gas. aspxlistenup regardless of the tone
of Onihikage's comments he's exactly right about there being only two nuclear power plant incidents in history that resulted in significant radiation release
since the first nuclear power plant went online in 1954. There have been 68 fatalities in 59 years 57
Interestingly no one died from radiation released in the Fukushima Daiichi accident. That averages out to a little over 1 fatality a year.
Here's a list of all nuclear power plant accidents: http://en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Nuclear and radiation accidentsthe*4000 cancer number associated with Chernobyl is the number of cancers--not deaths--attributed to Chernobyl.
%This UN Scientific Committee Report on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) published in 2008 says there is no evidence of a major public health impact attributable to radiation exposure two decades after the accident.
That's from the WORST nuclear power plant accident in history. See UNSCEAR report (2008) on Chernobyl here:
and Dr. Sternglass claiming a million deaths due to the radiation release from Three Mile Island. What you're missing in your extremely narrow
and warped view on nuclear radiation is balance and perspective. Onihikage was right to call you out on your radiation junk science.
Do you know how much radiation was released from Three Mile Island? I'll tell you. The radiation released resulted in an average dose of 1. 4 mrem to the two million people near the plant.
The report compared this with the additional 80 mrem per year received from living in a high altitude city such as Denver.
As further comparison you receive 3. 2 mrem from a chest X-ray âÂ#Âmore than twice the average dose of those received near the plant. http://en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Three mile island accidentdo
you seriously think a million people die from receiving a chest X-ray? If that were true chest X-rays would have been abolished long ago by the FDA.
Your claim 3. Nuclear radiation is highly dangerous and there is NO SAFE DOSE of nuclear radiation is also rubbish.
Nuclear radiation is used daily to irradiate foods to prevent spoilage with no adverse health effect whatsoever.
In fact it saves lives by preventing deadly bacteria from forming. Nuclear radiation is used safely countless times every day in numerous ways in medical and diagnostic procedures on humans;
all of which results in the prolonging of life and improving the quality of life for millions of people each year.
The effects of nuclear radiation have been studied carefully for over 60 years and extremely conservative dosage limits set in place to protect the safety of people who work in environments where radiation exposure is commonplace.
The U s. Nuclear Regulatory Commission says Although radiation may cause cancer at high doses and high dose rates public health data do not absolutely establish the occurrence of cancer following exposure to low doses and dose rates âÂ#Âbelow about 10000 mrem (100 msv).
Studies of occupational workers who are exposed chronically to low levels of radiation above normal background have shown no adverse biological effects. http://www. nrc. gov/about-nrc/radiation/health-effects/rad
-exposure-cancer. htmlhere's a graphic comparison of different levels of radiation dosages: http://xkcd. com/radiation/And here's an MIT study from 2012 which suggests that the established long-term radiation dosage limits may be 10 times too conservative due to the way the cancerous effects are measured;
not from actual experiments of long-term radiation but from EXTRAPOLATING the effects from single high-dosage events like the bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima or the exposion at Chernobyl:
http://web. mit. edu/newsoffice/2012/prolonged-radiation-exposure-0515. htmlto sum up do as Onihikage suggests
and read up on the remarkable safety of nuclear power and get some perspective on the vast array of other things that pose much greater health risks than nuclear power.
As for the Gallup poll Listenup it says nothing about what forms of energy Americans want to prioritize.
It simply shows that Americans want the country to produce more energy from all of the sources named.
If you add up the same emphasis as now or more emphasis results it looks like this:
Solar power: 88%Wind: 87%Natural gas: 89%Oil: 67%Nuclear power: 65%Coal: 56%In other words generally speaking Americans want to become energy independent through ALL THE resources at our disposal. http://www. gallup. com/file/poll/161525/Energy sources 130327. pdfthis is absolutely true
and it kills far less people anually then coal. If you leave your solar panel running in your garage no one will die.
Second of all although most of the facts previously stated about radiation and nuclear energy are true you do realize that most of that info is talking about decades old nuclear technology?
That's only a DECADE after the FIRST nuclear fission in human history! The nuclear plants finished recently (within the past decade) were built with technology developed in the seventies and eighties.
Nuclear fission and fusion and combination of the two have yet to reach the potentials and can be so much better than fossil fuels in both safety and efficiency (with A LOT OF help).
and negative sources of non-iodizing radiation (the correct term to use) which include transmission towers (cellular and digital television broadcasting) fluorescent lighting Wi-fi Power lines and certain appliances.
and mapping their frequencies and power outputs one is able to see a correlation within a set radius of bee populations affected by theses sources of non-iodizing radiation.
or none RF radiation would be places of high bee population. I wonder if this has been looked at to give validity to the above theory.

#A Huge Burst Of Gamma rays Hit Earth--And No one Noticedlast year Japanese scientists found evidence that in 775 AD Earth was hit with a sudden blast of high-intensity radiation--a blast
instead in the amount of radioactive carbon trapped in the annual growth rings of some of the world's oldest trees.
Carbon's key radioactive isotope carbon-14 forms when energetic particles enter Earth's atmosphere
So what could have caused the massive burst of radiation and the high influx of energetic particles that led to the elevated levels of carbon-14 in the atmosphere?
The radiation either came from an especially intense solar flare or the explosion of a nearby star.
Second--and perhaps more importantly--such flares would also have destroyed the Earth's ozone layer exposing all of life to harsh radiation
A nearby supernova would have sent gamma rays flying in all directions. Those rays would have created high-energy particles in our atmosphere
which could then go on to form the carbon-14 present in such abundance in the Japanese cedars.
But in order to send out enough gamma rays to do the trick the supernova would have had to be bigger and brighter than other historical bright spots that were documented in fact.
a short-duration gamma ray burst produced by the collision of two nearby neutron stars. Though immensely powerful (we're talking two 10-mile wide boulders each with the mass of our sun) the collision would only have been visible from Earth for about a day
So the formation of radioactive isotopes isn't a steady process? This could cause us to change our assumptions about dating methods.
There are various calibration curves to account for the varying presence of solar radiation and other known sources.
The reason they would assume the event to be recorded is most likely because of the chinese astronomers.
For many hundred years the chinese governement had a large number of clerks dedicated to astronomy.

#German Boars Are Too Radioactive To Eatin Germany boar meat is considered a delicacy consumed in various forms such as salami and boar leg.
According to the Telegraph recent testing in the state of Saxony has revealed that more than one-in-three wild boar in Germany are so radioactive that they're considered unfit for human consumption.
Boar carcasses are supposed not to exceed radiation levels of 600 becquerels per kilogram but in the past year 297 out of 752 boar tested in Saxony have su this safe amount.
The illuminating trend is thought to be a lingering effect of the 1986 Chernobyl disaster one of the worst nuclear power plant accidents in history.
More than 28 years ago a reactor exploded at the Chernobyl Nuclear power Plant in Soviet-run Ukraine releasing radioactive particles into the atmosphere.
but various weather conditions helped the radioactive particles spread far into Western europe contaminating much of the ground soil.

It was an epiphany says Vaneck who works for the Massachusetts research and development company Physical sciences Inc. PSI.
But until recently inventors lacked the aerodynamics expertise to turn diagrams into mechanical versions of something as quotidian as a fly or a bee.
Although insects and their relatives represent roughly 80 percent of the world s animal species ome 900000 known types he mechanics of their flight had long been an enigma.
And the stubby wings of bees and other insects lift far more weight than can be explained using conventional steady-state aerodynamics principles.
so that as it flapped he could analyze the fluid dynamics. At the University of California at Berkeley neurobiologist Michael Dickinson built a robotic fruit-fly wing that likewise mimicked a fly s natural motion
Working independently the researchers characterized the aerodynamics of flight with unprecedented specificity. Dickinson and electrical engineer Ron Fearing won a $2. 5-million DARPA grant in 1998 to apply these principles to a fly-size robot.
