somewhat contradictory...

@ Peter, written down

hmm, i have to use google translate on the german wikipedia, because the english does not have it, as so often:

"Die Aufnahme von 90Sr, das etwa über belastete Milch in den Körper gelangen kann, ist gefährlich. Durch die energiereiche Betastrahlung des Isotops können Zellen in Knochen oder Knochenmark verändert und somit Knochentumore oder Leukämien ausgelöst werden. Eine Dekorporation des in die Knochen aufgenommenen Strontiums mit Chelatbildnern ist unmöglich, da diese bevorzugt Calcium komplexieren und das Strontium im Knochen verbleibt.[18] Eine Dekoporation mit Bariumsulfat ist nur möglich, wenn sie rasch nach der Inkorporation erfolgt, bevor der Einbau in Knochen erfolgen kann.[25]Auch der Abbau durch biologische Vorgänge verläuft nur sehr langsam, die biologische Halbwertszeit liegt in Knochen bei 49 Jahren, die effektive Halbwertszeit von 90Sr bei 18,1 Jahren.[26] Möglicherweise bindet 90Sr an Zellen der Nebenschilddrüsen. Dies würde die Häufung von Fällen eines Hyperparathyreoidismus bei Liquidatoren des Reaktors in Tschernobyl erklären."

"The uptake of 90Sr, which may be released about the body via contaminated milk is dangerous. Due to the high-energy beta radiation of the isotope, cells in the bone or bone marrow and thus altered bone tumors or leukemias can be triggered. One of the Dekorporation recorded in the bone strontium chelation is impossible, because this complex remains the preferred calcium and strontium in bone. [18] A Dekoporation with barium sulfate is only possible if it occurs rapidly after incorporation before the installation done in bone can. [25] the degradation by biological processes happen very slowly, the biological half-life in bone at 49 years, the effective half-life of 90 Sr at 18.1 years. [26] binds may 90Sr in cells of the parathyroid glands. This would explain the clustering of cases of hyperparathyroidism in the reactor in Chernobyl liquidators."

this is all too complex to leave it to busby's pills. the theory is useless without conclusive animal or human experiments.

@dean i think the question is, who pays for that science ? we know that research is only done when profit is high enough...

@dean yes.

or iaea.

@dean agreed. the liability thing again.

that's the CORPORATE way

@Edano.. the whole system is BROKEN and even with all the regulation or lack thereof, when these types of accidents occur, society suffers the blunt are those affected are quickly forgotten

Japan Atomic Power to study nuclear plant feasibility in Vietnam

Lucas Hixson finally did something really useful. He did a FOIA on the NRC and got some of their correspondence during the first days of Fukushima. This is one letter, others are in the links at the end. Trying to sort through his mess of a site to find them all. enformable.com

enformable.com Ft Calhoun can't afford repairs, company doesn't have enough money in their coffers

@dean I wrote on that two weeks ago. OPPD is scrambling for cash. What is it going to take to make them shut down Calhoun. They really need to just give it up.

@ lilly.. I think the trend on NPP's that still have some life left is to sell them to other companies who will run the blood right out of them until they cannot get extensions..

@lilly,, in my opinion allowing utilities to dump older reactors off on investors who care only about shedding profits while reducing maintenance etc on the plant and then let it degrade should be ILLEGAL..

the cost of dealing with decommissioning and shutting the plants down has evolved to the easiest way out.. just extend the life another 20 years.

@dean that seems to be what is going on at Calhoun. The staff is even admitting to the media that there are major problems with leadership and daily operations at the plant.

@lilly, write your local and state representatives and then your WDC reps and demand answers...

@lilly,, did you see the news article on DUKE Energy about going forward with building 2 more coal fired plants while admitting that there is a major problem in this country with emissions (co2).
