Were nukes ever set off in the US

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Bottled water is not expensive and it certainly is not as expensive as cancer treatments or losing a loved one. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

I used to sleep with nuclear missiles and work in a nuclear powered submarine. I am still here and that was 37 years ago.

You sound like a deadman walking, roflmao. Seriously, you had rads measured across your career, how much did you get?

Fukushima Radiation Mapping In The Pacific Could Bolster Climate Science

First, they allow predictions of where and how much Fukushima radiation will make it to U.S. and Canadian shores.

Scientists say the radiation will not be concentrated enough to pose a threat to human health.Here’s the math, so to speak:

Currently, scientists are finding levels of radioactive cesium-137 from Fukushima at about 2 Bq/m3 off the coast of British Columbia. This is slightly higher than ambient radiation levels in ocean water and about the same level of cesium-137 still in the ocean from atmospheric nuclear weapons tests of the last century.

EPA drinking water standards for cesium-137 is 7,400 Bq/m3.​

How Radioactive Is the Pacific, Really?

Luckily, cesium is an electrolyte, and is water-soluble. Thus it moves through living organisms relatively quickly.

“It doesn’t have a target organ that it goes to, it just flushes through like a salt. So the good thing is one of the more serious contaminants for the ocean is lost quickly when it gets into the food chain.”

Unfortunately, it’s not all good news. “The bad news is, the Japanese found, through their own monitoring data, cesium levels weren’t going down in fish. That means they’re getting a source–they’re getting fed more cesium. There are still leaks at the site.”

There are millions and millions of gallons of contaminated water to be dealt with at the Fukushima site, a cleanup project that will take both decades and billions of dollars.

“There are 300 tons coming out a day of [contaminated] water,” Buesseler explains. “Well, that’s still not big compared to what happened four years ago. It’s maintaining levels that are high enough to keep fisheries closed, but I can go there and swim. People can surf in that area.”​

I guess we can file BoJ's posts in the "The sky is falling!" category.

I wrote a short story which is on Amazon.com titled Atomic City about being in Las Vegas when the very first atomic bomb was tested.

At least two bombs were set of before that at Los Alamos, NM

In spite of all the efforts by the Greenies, there has never been one example of any form of mutation in the animals and plants of both areas.

Were Nukes ever set off ............................. Why is it even important to know this?
if radiation is still hanging around from those even today it could be causing health issues.

They used to test them in the deserts of New Mexico and Nevada

They stopped when resulting radiation caused mutations that created giant lizards that could crush a city

Well, most people dont get info on specific amounts of radiation that is bad, tolerable and lethal.

Background radiation is already around 0.1 rads anyway, but it is easy to feel unsafe when it is not coming from a natural source.

Oh yeah?

Then how do you explain this?

Even without it, Fukishima is a reality and people are dying. How important is it to expose the Obama administration for covering up the health risks of Fukishima? He should be held personally accountable. Let the victims bring a class action suit against him and wipe him out financially.

Covering up the health risks? What could be done after the fact?

For one people could have a better understanding that the water now has such high levels that EPA upped the limits allowed. If people are aware of this they can start looking and seeking out ways to mitigate the amounts they are consuming in food and water. They can start planting grasses and plants that will help draw the radioactive particles out of the soil and help clear underground water sources. Deep Wells (as long as they are not in an area where fracking is taking place) with a good pre-drainage filtering systems is now the way to go as other means to get radioactive free water.

Well, except the fact that water in the ground is naturally exposed to radioactivity.

Then there is also Cosmic Radiation that triggers radioactive shit and the suns radiation is potentially harmful as well.

Fact is, we are all dead given enough time.

It is but a cistern type well can be built to mitigate a certain amount of it out. Plus no reason to add to it through sources that leave radionuclides, uranium, thorium and radium in your food or water if you can mitigate it. Many have the capability to help prevent more pollution like this or at least mitigate some of it around their own places. Again certain plants even soak the crap up if they are planted in areas that can make a difference.

Sure but I like the idea of having as much quality in life as possible in between now and the time before returning to dust.

Big difference between " Natural Radiation" and Man made radiation

Every nuclear plant in the US is leaking radiation
if radiation is so safe, then one should ask themselves wtf do Dental tech. step out of the room for when taking x rays and put a slab of lead on u for, same with any x ray.

Man-Made EMR is more Active biologically than Natural Non-Ionizing EMR
A large and increasing number of studies during the past few decades have indicated a variety of adverse biological effects to be triggered by exposure to man-made EMFs, especially of radio frequency (RF)/microwaves, and extremely low frequency (ELF). The recorded biological effects range from alterations in the synthesis rates and intracellular concentrations of different biomolecules, to DNA and protein damage, which may result in cell death, reproductive declines, or even cancer1,2,3,4,5,6,7. Under the weight of this evidence the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified both ...

Radiation | Unsafe at Any Dose
Radiation, also commonly referred to as electromagnetic radiation (EMR), electromagnetic chaos (EMC), and electromagnetic frequencies (EMF), is not a simple topic to discuss. Every day, people are subject to some degree of radiation exposure, whether it be from natural sources such as radon, or from unnatural, man-made sources such as medical tests, body scanners, cell phones, and many more technologies. There has been much debate over just how harmful radiation is, but one thing has been made clear through hundreds of studies and years of research – no amount of radiation is, can, or should be deemed “safe”.
Radiation | Unsafe at Any Dose

 

[MindWars]

What Is Radiation And Where Does It Come From?
Radiation is made up of invisible energy waves resulting from unstable atoms becoming stable and can be both naturally occurring as well as unnaturally occurring. The naturally occurring radiation humans are exposed to every day primarily stems from:

• Radon gases coming from the decay of radium in the earth (55%)

• Thorium & potassium found in the earth’s crust (8%)

• Sun, space (this is known as Cosmic Radiation) (8%)

The remaining radiation exposure, which is unnatural or man-made radiation, comes from:

• X-ray of any kind
• Microwave ovens
• Radio’s
• Various medical tests such as mammograms or chemotherapy
• Body scanner’s found in airports
• Computers
• TV’s
• Nuclear plants
• Flying
• Many more technologies

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), approximately 80% of the radiation humans are exposed to is naturally occurring, while the remaining 20% branches from man-made radiation.

How Is Radiation Measured?
Radiation is measured in units called “rem” unless when referring to the metric system, in which case it would be referred to as “sieverts”. Here are two different charts pulled from WINA, Radiologyinfo.org, Reuters, and Harvard Medical School:

Millisieverts Millirems
Chest x-ray 0.1 10
Two-view mammogram 0.36 36
Average annual background exposure in

That lead shield is overkill. Have the tech step out of the room is because of the cumulative affects.

You get only slightly less radiation flying in an airplane than you do from an x-ray.

Pharmaceuticals are making up for the lack of radiation lol

Federal scientists scoop them up and transfer them into 50-quart Coleman ice chests for transport to a makeshift lab on the dusty lakeshore. Within the hour, the researchers will club the seven-pound common carps to death, draw their blood, snip out their gonads and pack them in aluminum foil and dry ice.

There have too.....I saw it in a movie

There was a government coverup of the giant lizards

 

[Unkotare]

Why not let them decide for themselves if they want to drink contaminated water or permit their children to drink it? What gives the government the right to decide what information people are permitted to have concerning their own safety? Who made them God? Do you see something wrong with your question? Read it and think about it. It's not my place, your place or the government's place to decide what people will do. It's their right to make their own alternate plans. Bottled water would be one such alternative. Leaving the West Coast is another.

Uh, where do you think bottled water comes from? The same place all water comes from, meaning it too would be contaminated.

I don't know how you think something like that can be avoided and how arbitrary these standards really are!

Unless you are an expert in the field, why do you question their ability to decide what is safe and what is not?

Why would I question the government's ability (under Barack Hussein Obama) to decide what is safe and what is not safe? Was that a joke? This isn't the humor forum, Admiral.

Bottled water comes from many different places. All bottled water doesn't come from the West Coast. THINK.

Bottled water is expensive because it requires transportation,

If the contaminants reached the west coast, it is only a matter of time before it spreads world wide. Then what are you going to do?

What are the possible negative effects of increased exposure? I noticed that was conveniently missing from your posts. Is this simply much ado about nothing?

Bottled water is not expensive and it certainly is not as expensive as cancer treatments or losing a loved one. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

I used to sleep with nuclear missiles ..

Did you wear a condom?

I always felt some kind of radiation was responsible for my fucked up mutated brother in law.
Perhaps I was mistaken
