everyone pads their resume... that's almost irrelevant. it's core knowledge that we care about. does he have it?

Do you think goj are relying on the UN's finding that radiation is pretty harmless stuff www.unscear.org

9. For a population exposed to radiation in one
generation only, the risks to the progeny of the first postradiation generation are estimated to be 3,000 to 4,700
cases per gray per one million progeny; this constitutes 0.4
to 0.6 per cent of the baseline frequency of those disorders
in the human population.

His credibility is way down in my book since he is also preaching 9-11 conspiracy theories. Still googling for an entry that is not a conspiracy-truther site.

@all Just wishing the interviewer did a bit better of keeping on topic...BTW I'm not saying that Rokke doesn't have a valid perspective, as a vet of armed services who was tasked with working with/cleaning up DU, beyond that?

@lillymunster : do you believe in the vaporized airplane theory ?
by Edano 7/22/2011 11:57:58 PM

we know it's in airplane ballast. it's a listed use.

Aircraft that contain depleted uranium trim weights (Boeing 747–100 for example) may contain between 400 to 1,500 kg of DU.
by RadioGuy 7/23/2011 12:01:42 AM

Don't get me wrong. I think DU is a big problem. I am just trying to verify this guy isn't yet another charlatan making the conspiracy rounds. It makes me want to independently verify anything he says. You can be a whistle blower and not involve yourself exclusively with the truthers.

by lillymunster 7/23/2011 12:03:21 AM

some of the startest people i know in some fields have no "credentials". it's what they know that i value.

there is a wiki on him here it just gives another perspective rationalwiki.org I am not saying I believe one or the other just putting it in the mix

Power firm execs account for 72% of individual donations to LDP in 2009

TOKYO, July 23, Kyodo

More than 70 percent of donations made by individuals in 2009 to the political fund management body of the Liberal Democratic Party came from executives, including retired ones, of Tokyo Electric Power Co. and eight other utilities, according to data compiled by Kyodo News.

With the finding, donation-based relations between politicians and electric power companies, which have promoted nuclear power generation, are expected to draw fire in the wake of the crisis at Tokyo Electric's Fukushima Daiichi atomic power plant crippled by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami disaster, analysts said.

Kyodo analyzed the People's Political Association's income and expenditure reports on political funds for 2007 to 2009 released by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications.

and then they raise the energy prices ...
by Edano 7/23/2011 12:08:11 AM

if you are banished for whistleblowing, outlets that specialize in that are your only venues. this is all classic discreditation technique.

btw.. i have no horse in this. simple socratic method. i don't know myself, but his stuff sounds more true than false know
ing what we know.

@Edano Of course!

@all NATO using depleted uranium in Libya
Dr. Doug Rokke, the ex-director of the Pentagon’s Depleted Uranium Project, says that there is no way to totally decontaminate an area hit with uranium, an element that has a half-life of 4.5 billion years and has thus earned the title “the silent killer that will never stop killing.” Rokke today says he was told by the government to lie about the effects of uranium and that most of the crew he worked with is now dead. rt.com
by smoss 7/23/2011 12:10:18 AM

@RadioGuy No not totally. He has also himself bought into the 9-11 truther thing. That right there hurts his credibility in my book. While whistle blowers do get smeared, harassed and sometimes killed I am not seeing any attempt to use those venues and keep some sort of personal credibility. The things he brought up? Some might be true and would be worth investigating with a grain of salt looking for more unbiased either direction confirmation.

and that's how we roll here. :)
by RadioGuy 7/23/2011 12:11:17 AM

We've seen people shuttle 1000 lb cattle and 500 lb tuna all over Japan for money. Is it even a tiny struggle to believe that if the nuclear industry could cut the waste they have to store forever by mixing it in 10,000 miles of asphalt they wouldn't?
by RadioGuy 7/23/2011 12:14:57 AM

Dilution of pollution seems to be the operative strategy.

better get used to it, fast, is the message.

@Radioguy The uses of DU remind me of the Plu-thermal program in Japan...recycle/re-use

@RadioGuy mixing radioactive waste into concrete and asphalt has been practised for many years in Japan

that's why we had the high contamination along the tohuku highway.

Cancer in Japan
www.jcancer.jp

"For several years after World War II, between 50,000 and 60,000 people in Japan died from cancer every year. Since then, the number of cancer deaths has increased steadily and became the top cause of death, surpassing strokes, in 1981"

@edano but the great benevolent unbiased protectors of all that is gold in the world say radiation is safe !!
6. Radiation exposure has never been demonstrated to
cause hereditary effects in human populations. The absence
of observable effects in children of survivors of the atomic
bombings in Japan, one of the largest study populations,
indicates that moderate acute radiation exposures of even a
relatively large human population must have little impact.
However, experimental studies in plants and animals have
clearly demonstrated that radiation can induce hereditary
effects. Humans are unlikely to be an exception in that
regard. www.unscear.org

i think it's a smear job against doug rokke.
everything he said can be verified and he was careful not to answer questions out of his field of knowledge.
google links can be bought to show up first in searches so i'm skeptical of google.
by MD 7/23/2011 1:01:07 AM

@MD cool Monday I am sending in a FOIA to get his military record. Problem solved.
by lillymunster 7/23/2011 1:20:47 AM

@MD I don't think anyone is dissing him we are just running through he is stating what he believes to be true and he is entitled to do so. Look at the great and mighty United Nations in my link saying that radiation is safe, if we put them into google there would be pages of results lauding them.
