Secret Squirrel has found,on investigation,that while nuclear advocates tell us nuclear is safe, we obviously have ourselves learned that it isn't,and will adversely affect the human bodies it lands on,or is inhaled by,burning,mutilating,mutating,killing,diseasing,quickly,or slowly,and similarly the farm animals in and after the same fashion, and thence also landing on farm soils,where it will and does and is, coating vegetables and farm animals which will be in contact with and ,eaten by humans, where it will cause yet more significant damage over a period of time after ingestion,even yet reaching in to the next generation.Many of us now look at what has been made public,specifically Chernobyl, and from Fukushima,ongoing, with obviously much of the reality hidden from the public by the nuclear agency involved and the Japanese government itself. Other disasters went before, and the radiation and its effects were hidden from the public by governments best described as draconian.So what are the general effects of radiation of a population, on the human body?Well....
(1) Hair
The losing of hair quickly and in clumps occurs with radiation exposure at 200 rems or higher.
(2) Brain
Since brain cells do not reproduce, they won't be damaged directly unless the exposure is 5,000 rems(rems/rads equate) or greater. Like the heart, radiation kills nerve cells and small blood vessels, and can cause seizures and immediate death.
(3) Thyroid
The certain body parts are more specifically affected by exposure to different types of radiation sources. The thyroid gland is susceptible to radioactive iodine. In sufficient amounts, radioactive iodine can destroy all or part of the thyroid. By taking potassium iodide, one can reduce the effects of exposure.
(4) Blood System
When a person is exposed to around 100 rems, the blood's lymphocyte cell count will be reduced, leaving the victim more susceptible to infection. This is often referred to as mild radiation sickness. Early symptoms of radiation sickness mimic those of flu and may go unnoticed unless a blood count is done.According to data from Hiroshima and Nagaski, show that symptoms may persist for up to 10 years and may also have an increased long-term risk for leukemia and lymphoma.
(5) Heart
Intense exposure to radioactive material at 1,000 to 5,000 rems would do immediate damage to small blood vessels and probably cause heart failure and death directly.
(6) Gastrointestinal Tract
Radiation damage to the intestinal tract lining will cause nausea, bloody vomiting and diarrhea. This is occurs when the victim's exposure is 200 rems or more. The radiation will begin to destroy the cells in the body that divide rapidly. These including blood, GI tract, reproductive and hair cells, and harms their DNA and RNA of surviving cells.
(7) Reproductive Tract
Because reproductive tract cells divide rapidly, these areas of the body can be damaged at rem levels as low as 200. Long-term, some radiation sickness victims will become sterile.
So Fukushima presents a medical problem of very large dimensions. Events have proven this observation to be true despite the nuclear industry's campaign about the "minimal" health effects of so-called low-level radiation. That billions of its dollars are at stake if the Fukushima event causes the "nuclear renaissance" to slow down appears to be evident from the industry's attacks on its critics, even in the face of an unresolved and escalating disaster at the reactor complex at Fukushima.
There are differences between external and internal radiation,the former being what populations were exposed to when the atomic bombs were detonated over Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945; their profound and on-going medical effects are well documented.
Internal radiation, on the other hand, emanates from radioactive elements which enter the body by inhalation, ingestion, or skin absorption. Hazardous radionuclides such as iodine-131, caesium 137, and other isotopes currently being released in the sea and air around Fukushima bio-concentrate at each step of various food chains (for example into algae, crustaceans, small fish, bigger fish,
then humans; or soil, grass, cow's meat and milk, then humans). After they enter the body, these elements – called internal emitters – migrate to specific organs such as the thyroid, liver, bone, and brain, where they continuously irradiate small volumes of cells with high doses of alpha, beta and/or gamma radiation, and over many years, can induce uncontrolled cell replication – that is, cancer. Further, many of the nuclides remain radioactive in the environment for generations, and ultimately will cause increased incidences of cancer and genetic diseases over time.
The US National Academy of Sciences BEIR VII report has concluded, no dose of radiation is safe, however small, including background radiation; exposure is cumulative and adds to an individual's risk of developing cancer.Chernobyl,1986, a 2009 report, "Chernobyl: Consequences of the Catastrophe for People and the Environment", published by the New York Academy of Sciences, three scientist authors – Alexey V Yablokov, Vassily B. Nesterenko, and Alexey V Nesterenko They
estimate the number of deaths attributable to the Chernobyl meltdown at about 980,000.
In the early days of nuclear power, WHO (World Health Organization) issued forthright statements on radiation risks such as its 1956 warning: "As experts, we affirm that the health of future generations is threatened by increasing development of the atomic industry and sources of radiation … We also believe that new mutations that occur in humans are harmful to them and their offspring."Genetic, or heritable effects appear in the future generations of the exposed person as a result of radiation damage to the reproductive cells. Genetic effects are abnormalities that may occur in the future generations of exposed individuals. They have been extensively studied in plants and animals, but risks for genetic effects in humans are seen to be considerably smaller than the risks for somatic effects.Delayed somatic effects are those that may occur years after radiation doses are received. Among the delayed effects thus far observed have been an increased potential for the development of cancer and cataracts. Since some
forms of cancer are among the most probable delayed effects, the established dose limits were formulated with this risk in mind.Prompt somatic effects are those that occur soon after an acute dose (typically 10 rad or greater to the whole body in a short period of time). One example of a prompt effect is the temporary hair loss which occurs about three weeks after a dose of 400 rad to the scalp. New hair is expected to grow within two months after the dose, although the color and texture may be different.This we've learned from benevolent anticancer therapies,however in the cases of nuclear reactors,those close to the plant and it's accident who've suffered these effects, have died.Even the lower doses of radiation, can and do result in, cataracts.Subtle doses have effects,over generations, and also, in the rather emmidate, pre-natla for example, the effects on the child pregnant females
carry........effects associated with prenatal radiation doses include:
Growth retardation,
Small head/brain size
Mental retardation
Childhood cancer
Larger doses,do more,faster,and are not very subtle in changes and effects on the humans,the human body that is,An acute radiation dose is defined as a large dose (10 rad or greater, to the whole body) delivered during a short period of time (on the order of a few days at the most). If large enough, it may result in effects which are observable within a period of hours to weeks.
Acute doses can cause a pattern of clearly identifiable symptoms (syndromes). These conditions are referred to in general as Acute Radiation Syndrome. Radiation sickness symptoms are apparent following acute doses >100 rad. Acute whole body doses of >450 rad may result in a statistical expectation that 50% of the population exposed will die within 60 days without medical attention.
As in most illnesses, the specific symptoms, the therapy that a doctor might prescribe, and the prospects for recovery vary from one person to another and are generally dependent on the age and general health of the individual.
Blood-forming organ (Bone marrow) syndrome (>100 rad) is characterized by damage to cells that divide at the most rapid pace (such as bone marrow, the spleen and lymphatic tissue). Symptoms include internal bleeding, fatigue, bacterial infections, and fever.
Gastrointestinal tract syndrome (>1000 rad) is characterized by damage to cells that divide less rapidly (such as the linings of the stomach and intestines). Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, electrolytic imbalance, loss of digestion ability, bleeding ulcers, and the symptoms of blood-forming organ syndrome.
Central nervous system syndrome (>5000 rad) is characterized by damage to cells that do not reproduce such as nerve cells. Symptoms include loss of coordination, confusion, coma, convulsions, shock, and the symptoms of the blood forming organ and gastrointestinal tract syndromes. Scientists now have evidence that death under these conditions is not caused by actual radiation damage to the nervous system, but rather from complications caused by internal bleeding, and fluid and pressure build-up on the brain
Other effects from an acute dose include:
200 to 300 rad to the skin can result in the reddening of the skin (erythema), similar to a mild sunburn and may result in hair loss due to damage to hair follicles.
125 to 200 rad to the ovaries can result in prolonged or permanent suppression of menstruation in about fifty percent (50%) of women.
600 rad to the ovaries or testicles can result in permanent sterilization.
50 rad to the thyroid gland can result in benign (non cancerous) tumors.
Well now, let's go on to a more appetizing aspect of nuclear radiation........the WHO says the impact of radiation on food depends on the type of food and exposed soil type, and amount of exposure and the amount of food consumed.The food experts from the Bogor Institute of Agriculture,on of whom is Dr. Ir Nuri Andarwulan, MSI states, the food is exposed to radioactive nuclear can loose all required nutrients, can even become toxic to the body such that it endangers health.Nuri explained, nuclear radiation can produce two parts, namely radioactive rays and radioactive compounds. “If food is exposed to radioactive rays, can damage the existing compounds in food. For example, the compound of vitamins in foods can be whole, or even that there are other compounds in foods can be toxic to the body,” he said when contacted VIVAnews, Wednesday, March 30, 2011.While the food is exposed to radioactive compounds, Nuri added that its effects can be deadly if consumed. “It also depends on which body part is exposed. For example, iodine, is one radioactive compound can attack the thyroid and can cause thyroid cancer.”
Radiation in particular affects the unborn also, and extremely.This can occur when the mother's abdomen is exposed to radiation from outside her body. Also, a pregnant woman who accidentally swallows or breathes in radioactive materials may absorb that substance into her bloodstream. From the mother's blood, radioactive materials may pass through the umbilical cord to the baby or concentrate in areas of the mother's body near the womb (such as the urinary bladder) and expose the fetus to radiation.Fetuses are particularly sensitive to radiation during their early development, between weeks 2 and 18 of pregnancy. The health consequences
can be severe, even at radiation doses too low to make the mother sick. Such consequences can include stunted growth, deformities, abnormal brain function, or cancer that may develop sometime later in life.Unborn babies are especially sensitive to the cancer-causing effects of radiation.Such damaging exposure can be directly,or else through ingestion of radiation through food and or water by the mother,affecting both her, and the child,much more so,the child.
Radioactive fallout comes from radioactive materials accidentally released into the atmosphere, such as from nuclear power plant accidents,explosions, release of gases,release of cooling and or other waters. Prevailing winds and water fall can contain radioactive waste and isotopes, leading to the deposit of these materials in places far from the accident,on persons,on soil,on vegetation,on food vegetables,on cattle and barnyard animals. The radiation is then deposited and absorbed by vegetation and grains used to feed animals for human consumption, as well as on fruits, vegetables and grain products used to feed humans, according.
Consuming radioactive materials can cause damage to your body. The European Food Safety Authority, or EFSA, states that the more soluble uranium is, the greater danger to the body upon exposure from food and water. Half-life of uranium in the body can last as long as 360 days, which means you still have uranium in your body long after your exposure to it.The World Health Organization states that absorption of uranium from foods is low, with 98 percent being excreted from your body unabsorbed and eliminated through feces. Uranium may accumulate in your nervous system, but according to WHO, firm conclusions can't be drawn as the results
are conflicting on the damage done to nerves from radiation exposure. The United States Environmental Protection Agency,however,states that ingested uranium from food and water can lead to kidney damage and cancer. This isn't due to the radioactivity of uranium but rather the toxic nature of the metal itself. Also, uranium found in your urine can still be traced inside your body for months after ingestion or exposure.
Face it, whether you're holding it,breathing it,or ingesting it, radiation is just not safe for you.It WILL cause you damage,and in fact, through you, your as yet unborn children, or yet those who are in the process of getting there if you're a pregnant female.It damages,mutate, and kills, and you have no choice in the matter, the course of events for you will be determined by the exposure you receive from the nuclear accident,no matter what you local nuclear authority, or government tell you,their words are most often neither truth, and most definitely not a ridiculous shield for you from radiation's effects,the effects of radiations spewing,exploding, leaking out of, their nuclear plants, plants they want there,as they say, for your won good.Such is their benevolence,such is their malevolence.Radioactivity, is a maiming,mutilating,killer, s low killer due to the cancers it induces, a painful,ever torturing killer,brought to you by your government.They'll be the death of you, eventually,the horrible,horrific
death, nuclear death,a long slow painful death,and if you don't die, you'll wish you had, or perhaps, you'll wish you'd never have been born. The Russian suffered,the Japanese suffer, soon too you will suffer..........it's coming for you, it's going to happen,your happening.
