Helen Caldicott – Fukushima & Nuclear Energy
Red Ice Radio
July 3, 2012
At ~11:00 in
Dr. Helen Caldicott: In Japan you come up with a startling statistic, 2.5 to 3 million in the next 25 years dying. And I don’t think that’s beyond the realm of possibility. So we’re talking about a disaster of unbound proportions.

People will die from this disaster, but will they admit to the real cause of their death?

As always Helen Caldicott administers a dose of medical/biological reality to the situation.
As an aside, just noticed the additional 'Submit Comment' guidelines below the comments window. Not sure if I'm amused or outraged to see the words 'NO RELIGIOUS DISCUSSION WHATSOEVER', when the main topic for discussion has to be one of the most provocative for soul searching in internet history.
Is it still ok for me to smoke when I visit this site?

We've got our reasons for no religious stuff here, which if you had been here earlier, you would be aware of. Suffice to say, the decision was made for good reasons, and was necessary for the site.

Hi charlie3, actually I've been dropping in here more or less daily since a few weeks after the event, but in recent months have opted to mainly 'listen' rather than 'speak'. I'm well aware of the problems created by free speech. Are you aware of the problems created by the loss of free speech?

Hi Steven, this is not an issue of loss of free speech, but just an issue of where certain speech is placed.
Admin's decision is shown in the list below the reply box, and anyone who wants to indulge in religious discussion is FREE, COMPLETELY FREE, to do it elsewhere in a place suitable to himself and his listeners.

This is a man made problem and nothing to do with divine powers, that is free speech some believe and others not and should be kept in one,s own house, more power to you.

All the Helen and Arnie bashing. Sad. They have a much larger audience than us here on Enenews, and it's not their job to spread chaos. They both do walk a fine line, and present the boundaries of what they are allowed to.
We here know what's really going on. We want the truth – the whole truth. Not what's prepackaged for the mostly ignorant public, who might be better off not knowing anyway. Who's to say.
This is an ELE in slow motion. It doesn't matter how far down the coriums have gone. It doesn't matter exactly how many tons of radioactive water go into the Pacific Ocean every hour. It's all massive, and far too late to do anything about it. It's only going to get worse. Tens of billions of lethal doses? Trillions of lethal doses? When does it not matter anymore? We know the outcome.
Rad readings are nice to know, but since every NPP operator will use Fukushima as an excuse to ignore safety procedures, and vent and expose at will, coupled with a keen government desire to keep all this under wraps, the readings will always be suspect. High, low or otherwise. Ocean disposal of nuclear waste is now the standard.
Billions upon billions of humans, and billions upon billions of other species, are going to die from radiation induced diseases, whether from Fukushima or others. Yes, the radiation will kill off any chance of maintaining the other reactors in Japan, and we will see via camera what happens when NPPs are abandoned. Until the cameras go dark.

Our government has failed us completely. Personally, I've voted third party – and anti-nuke – since the '70's. None of my choices of elected representation are responsible for any of this. I would suggest looking back at who you voted for, and see what responsibility you might bear. And going forward – if our votes mean anything anymore – vote accordingly.
Otherwise, it's going to be a long, slow march to extinction. All the world leaders know it, and you can bet they are going to maximize their comfort before they ever give the rest of us any thought.
Hug your loved ones, help where you can. Our time is shorter by the day.

Report Comment
Anthony, Our government is well aware of the crisis in Japan and the coming disaster to the Northern Hemisphere and the world. They knew what happened on 03/14/11 and Arnie Gunderson has stated that he was told that the US government has downplayed the dangers to our nation of the meltdowns of Fukushima. The question should not be what action will be taken; but, WHY the government has chosen to leave our citizenry ignorant? BTW, Katrina gave the opportunity to build on the gulf, hotels and casinos. In SriLanka, the tsunami gave business the same opportunity to build expensive hotels. Greed is the only response to disaster.

TiS, it looks like you and I have voted the same way and for the same length of time — and are proud of it. We can sleep at night knowing we didn't settle for the lesser of two evils. A candidate's energy stance has always been one of the major things I consider when I prepare to vote. Fortunately, I have that choice in New Mexico in the coming national elections (if we aren't all hiding out from the neverending "gifts" from Fukushima and other corporations by that time).

Helen, Arnie and several others on this site are highly qualified, some with PHD,s in the field, others work in nuclear plants, they are our best source of information and understanding, they rely on the same source of information we do, but are in a far better position to analyze and they would be the first to tell you that they do not always get it right, especially with the limited data that they are receiving.
These people care, Arnie helped build these death machines and probable has a guilty conscious and will live with that to the end of his days, but he has seen the light.
Helen is a star in my eyes, she has been shunned by her fellow academics, but still stand proud, gold star for you my dear.

You two got me thinking and I updated the 'rules' so religious discussion is ok in the OT non-nuclear forum.
"UPDATE: 1) NO RELIGIOUS DISCUSSION WHATSOEVER >> Except in the off-topic discussion thread for non-nuclear issues."

Hi Admin,
I think it is a good move. I don't think that removing religious discussion has improved Enenews. People can't seem to stop making religious references anyway, even those who complained about it most.
I would love it if you let the religion rule fade away altogether, but you kept "NO PERSONAL ATTACKS WHATSOEVER."

I read somewhere that there is 'an old Chinese saying' to the effect that 'It is an immoral act to try to teach someone who does not want to be taught.' I heartily agree, and after have been preached at and to countless times, mostly by Christians – often by very persistent Christians who just don't know when to 'give it a rest,' it frankly pushes my buttons to have to read/listen to any of that.
The religious talk can tend to dominate threads; so I certainly think that if it is allowed here, it should be only in a General Discussion or Religious Matters Discussion thread.
Report Comment
I'm with bleep. Please don't bring back the religious stuff. I've been enjoying enenews every since it's been banned.
I've argued strongly that it's not a science and doesn't belong on a science / research thread. Not in any degree. Not in another thread even, because it still turn up in the side bars.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've watched a vast improvement in the technical discussions on these threads, in fact, I'd like to see someone deny it.
Please don't return it. Next thing there'll be discrimination again. It's simply not science.
On the other hand, discussing ethical and moral issues can still occur, I've them as well and can appreciate them. But there is a line, hard to define, but there is one.
I say stick with enenews's current policy because it really does work and this site has been far better because of that policy. Simple as that.

The Founding Fathers of our country said it, as they said so many things, very well – religion is a metaphysical subject, meaning that its varied and often conflicting dogmas/belief systems are incapable of being empirically verified – proven or dis-proven.
As such, religious beliefs/dogmas have no place, as Richard points out, on a website such as this one which is concerned with facts and theories that can be empirically tested.
The Founding Fathers believed in religious freedom, and so do I – so probably do we all – but they pointed out that religion is a private matter, a matter of beliefs that can not be proven/dis-proven – and on a website such as this one, it is clearly off-topic. Not only that, it is divisive, gets people out of 'rational mode' and into 'emotional mode' and is a real 'button-pusher.'

Well, bleep_hits_blades, it pushes my buttons when people promote pro-nuke politicians here like Ron Paul, and when they make sexist references like to "blonde moments," and when they talk about the Japanese people as a whole in a demeaning way, etc., etc., if Admin censored all the topics that push my buttons, the list would take up the whole front page.
I am supposed to be a practicing atheist, but most people aren't, and it is virtually impossible for some to censor themselves in that way, so they will stop coming here, and Enenews will loose out on their voices. This is a real loss.
I would also like a rule that stated everyone had to post 100 discreet links to new information on the subject of Fukushima, or nuclear and alternative energy in general, before they are allowed to complain and criticize other's posts. It never seems to be the people who do the most work gathering information who complain about others, but those who do the least amount of labor bringing relevant information to the comments section. Just a suggestion.

Ron Paul will end gov subsidies for nuclear power.

His track record does not promote confidence in any promise to remove subsidies:
"Voted NO on removing oil & gas exploration subsidies.
Creating Long-term Energy Alternatives for the Nation (CLEAN) Act
Title I: Ending Subsidies for Big Oil Act–denying a deduction for income attributable to domestic production of oil, natural gas, or their related primary products….
Title II: Royalty Relief for American Consumers Act–to incorporate specified price thresholds for royalties on oil & gas leases in the Gulf of Mexico….
Proponents support voting YES because:
This legislation seeks to end the unwarranted tax breaks & subsidies which have been lavished on Big Oil over the last several years, at a time of record prices at the gas pump and record oil industry profits. Big Oil is hitting the American taxpayer not once, not twice, but three times…."

That bill is nothing more than a tax on our domestic oil.
The energy market is hampered and controlled absolute by bureaucrats and central planners in Washington. This is our problem.
Whether he thinks Nuclear power is great or not, his obligations to the free market and property rights under the constitution is the platform and his life commitment.
Ask his support base what they think about nuclear power. I've been onboard since 1988. The majority of us are strongly against. This cannot be said for any other candidates support base.
With no subsidies, federal energy department or EPA to hide behind the Nuclear power industry would have to stand alone with no choice but to implement safer designs that can be insured or simply die.

The irony is that we do not know the color of anyone's skin on this site, whether they are male or female, where they live or their nationality or there religious preferences & we get along for the most part.
And yet religious discussion brought into this mix WILL cause fights & attacks against those with different views. And that is becasue this is such a touchy issue where in my opinion everyone is Not always right. And these are fights that will cause even friends to *hate each other. And isn't that ironic.
Wars continue to be fought because of it until the end of time.
I also see an opening being used by worse than trolls..those who will not stop until real harm has been caused by allowing religious discussions here. Which will turn people away.
I truly appreciate Admins position & the balancing act. But this is one site that is literally life changing…both good & bad. We get to learn the truth, we also thanks to the kindness of strangers are given knowledge to mitigate at least some of the dangers. We also have a place where we can gather strength from each other, vent & debate the issues. And learn that we are not alone in our fight for a better world.
Admin please do Not risk all of that just so some members can end up fighting about religion.

I am a very casual person,. so Someone saying I pray that the Japanese children get out of Japan, does not qualify as a reason for a ban. The person however who attacked someone for using the word pray is who I would ban. So As an an Admin in a Facebook group I let the small stuff slide & watch for those that setup comments to get people angry or those that attack someone over a simple comment.
There are no absolutes in human behavior so maybe just a *slight relaxing of the rule may balance things abit. But Please still no special area just for discussions for the reasons I state above.

Restraint WindorSolarPlease is needed. Advice I had to give to on the facebook group. When rage or hurt gets you so upset that you feel you just have to respond or comment STOP. Grab a piece of paper, or open a blank Word document on your computer..Get it out pound that keyboard or break that pencil. Then walk away & do something completely different. Later when you read what you wrote you may still agree with it all, but no longer feel the need to put All of it on-line. You may still rant, but now you have given yourself time & can limit what you post. You can also delete that document permanently too or save it, whatever. But you have had a chance to get that initial rage or hurt out, but for your eyes only. So tempering your remarks allows you to vent but not go overboard.
And other times it is even better if you simply turn away …nothing to see here… move along. ONLY you can allow someone else to push Your buttons.

Hi Everyone,
Until I find a way to block comments from the Non-Nuclear issues thread from showing in the 'Recent Comments' section in the sidebar, OT religious comments will still be against the rules.
This site has nothing to do with religion, but I have gotten many requests to open a place to discuss these matters. I want to find a solution, but I don't want it to distract from the Energy info on this site in any way.
Right now I am using the BWP Recent Comment plugin, and I can't block comments from a specific thread from showing up in the list. Anyone have a suggestion?
This way, ANY off-topic discussion will truly be seen only in the OT thread… which will actually enhance the focus on energy issues… OT comments will no longer be on the list of the 10 most recent comments seen in the sidebar of every page.

Richard, a while back one person habitually posted to the OT thread every minute or so, causing the comment summary headings for the whole site to rush by in a blur. He was eventually banned for other reasons.
Something similar would probably happen if religious material started appearing in volume, which is likely because the opening is perfect for trolling as well as for proselytizers of all stripes.
To hamstring this site, all the bad guys have to do is make lots of noise and diversions – an irony obvious in this "Caldicott thread", where one early poster has got us running around like ants with a single provocational reference to religion.
Anyway, I'm thinking the OT summary with religious posts aplenty would not be the OT summary you like seeing now.

The web is full of sites where people can talk about religion, but it is not full of sites where people can talk about nuclear energy and the other things we see at ENENews. The people who come here include a number who are very smart, very knowledgeable, or very wise, possibly all three. It is a unique site where people can learn, and I must say, I have learned some important things here.
I am a religious person, but I believe we are here for a reason that has to do with physical, Earthly reality. Focusing on religion when we have to focus on the other things presented to us to do distracts us from the whole purpose of the Earth. I would object to this site being overrun with people supporting even my own religion.
I think it is nice that the people who want to talk of such things have a thread where they can do it. I can easily support the ban elsewhere.
Perhaps you could a thread specifically devoted to religion. Maybe you could have two; one could be for all recognized formal religions, and the other for the Nuclearists, so they could have a place where they can rant at each other in private.

If you examine Japan's coverup of what is really happening with the nuclear fallout then compare it to 3 Miles Island, you don't see much difference except in scale of the tragedies. Both governments lie their asses off about venting into the environment.
And with Japan consciously holding back projection maps of fallout where radioactive plumes traveled across the land in elongated directions and spotty patterns, not within a perfect circle starting from ground zero, leading to evacuees rushing into harms way as further from the plant disaster in not always the safe route but a deadly route must make those neglected and uninformed citizens expendable in the light of otherwise causing a panic.

Simply it was "conspiracy" at all the "top levels of government and science". Progress initiated scientific insanity being driven by fear, secrecy, unlimited funds, subsidies and pure greed, while promoting collusion which they utilized in the controlling of many uneducated populations, nothing more to it.
"Man Made Radiation Contamination" is invisible and that helped their cause that much more in fooling those they controlled for their own profit gains of the back of the same populations.

..and this is a direct result of man's actions. We are terraforming this planet and not in a good way.
Knowing the nature of radioactive isotopes, and their individual life spans and those new ones that are created by man, that have never ever been on this planet before, tells the story. This is the same exact thing that happened with CFC's, that were created for refrigeration, and this particular created molecule was not of this earth. Once again "Progress Driven Insanity" at its best.
Just because we can, does not mean that we should!
Now, since no one is here human wise and this is a very big planet the dispersion of these released radioactive isotopes around the globe is sporadic at best. John Wayne and his crew know best exactly what these radioactive isotope releases can do and cause inside the human body.
There is no more discussion that needs to take place and Japan and the Nuclear Industry has just killed several million more people worldwide. This is now a fact!

Hello,
Ah yes my Jedi friend, power plants cannot operate in a self sustaining mode.. And a massive EMP would F@#K them ALL up… Like STUXNET did Fukushitta..
BTW my friends, 454 aint even close, try about 1000 when you add the 600+ "military" reactors….
And they WILL kill "the grid"…
Mark my words..
Then they WILL tell us "terrorists" have released a biological agent..
Remember you heard that….
But that is OT….

The Military want even more nuclear reactors:
Making U.S. Navy carrier groups and Army bases more self-sufficient and energy-efficient could mean turning to mobile nuclear reactors. The Pentagon's DARPA scientists have put forth the modest proposal of deploying miniature reactors to convert hydrogen and carbon into military jet fuel, as well as providing power, The Register reports.

Dr. Helen Caldicott has too much hatred, contempt and cynicism in her to be considered credible and objective. She may have been considered one of the most influential woman of the 20th century, unfortunately all these years of directed hatred towards all things nuclear has made her incapable of expressing herself in a manner that respect people sensibilities. She should take example on Arnie Gundersen and learn not to let these things fuel her anger and hatred. As it stands now listening to her is like having a vampire suck all the life out of you.

jonjon – this opinion of Caldicott is really extreme – harsh. She has been a dedicated and committed anti-nuke activist for decades. I was actually shocked to read this extremely negative comment of yours. I have heard several interviews with her and I think your take on her is way out of line with reality. She takes a bleak view – but the facts of the past half century and more support a very dark view.
The world is being poisoned by toxic synthetics that will remain lethally toxic for millenia. Despite all the warning signals a distressed and poisoned biosphere is sending to us, mankind won't abandon this suicidal folly. We have hundreds of dangerous reactors, hundreds of nuclear weapons, many spent fuel pools packed to the gills with highly toxic SF rods for which the industry has NO plans concerning where and how to store them – safely – for the next several millenia… and what? – Caldicott is a 'pessimist' full of 'hatred, contempt, and cynicism' for pointing out what a powder keg of a situation this is for humankind to be sitting on – and ignoring – as it plans to continue on with 'more of the same'?
Where are the grounds for optimism here? Is it even POSSIBLE to overstate the extreme hazard and folly of this state of affairs?

To get back on topic, isn't Caldicott's estimate of 3 million surprisingly low?
How does that square with the "ELE/potential ELE" that has been the focus of so much discussion?
Report Comment
Yes, I think the projected death rate is very conservative. Consider the highest death rate reports from Chernobyl at 1 million. Fukushima has much more fuel and is a runaway train for nearly 16 months with no containment date in sight. Chernobyl fires were extinquished in 2 weeks and a dome constructed within 8 months. No water releases of toxins at Chernobyl.
Two million deaths in the next 25 years? I wouldn't be surprised if the death rate from radiation will be in the ten million range orf more in Japan and many more in other countries.
The nuclear industry will deny all the deaths because it is hard to prove currently. Medical advances could change that as nuclear corporations begin to lose their death grip on governments.
Report Comment
"The nuclear industry will deny all the deaths"
Fortunately (?) the enormous increse in cancer-related deaths over the next 10-20 years will be undeniable evidence. Even more convincing for the near-term will be a huge increase in birth defects in Japan (if TPTB don't find a way to hide this information – and you can bet that they will be trying)!

The projection may very well be low, but it is based on current information.
This information may be revised if anything changes in Japan, especially if the change is for the worst.
The real problem may be unseen and lurking in the shadows, because if any food chain collapse starts in the Pacific Ocean, then the possible slow death for 10's of millions or maybe even a billion, will not be very far off into the future.
For every action mankind takes, there will be a like and or equal reaction, whether it be good or bad, is determined by the initial action taken by mankind.

I agree whole heartedly, but that will not save us from our own "Extinction Level" created events, based on an ancient technology that we human's still can not control or handle properly.
Why are we digging up our human past looking for the answers about who we are? Does anybody really know the truth about our roots and or the potential ancient knowledge that was lost and or hidden from us all?
Theory and conjecture abounds everywhere inside mankind's past and inside all the real sciences practiced today.

About the time a listener is inclined to dismiss Arnie without thinking because he's "too gentle so it can't be as big a deal", Caldicott's words stir the brain.

My attack on Helen Caldicott might be a bit out of line, but I'm tired of her repeating the same thing over and over (for some it might be the first time they hear it). And I don't particularly like her condescending, cynical and negative style, it's bad leadership.

Unfortunately there are many more nuclear power plants in the making, and soon or later, we'll have another Fukushima, and another and another…
My hope is that the Japanese don't give up their fight against the restart of nuclear reactors, and that the movement spreads globally. If the Japanese can't do it in their own devastated country, then there's very little hope it can be achieved in countries that haven't experienced such disaster yet.

3 Super Powers and or very Advance Nations have already had Nuclear Meltdowns. These Superior Nations were suppose to be the very best at what they do.
This fact alone tells us that we are all in very, very serious trouble, if the original inventors of this Nuclear Technology can't even handle the technology and machines they purposely created.

Only an "Extinction Command Protocol" would continue to push for further use, promotion and then the deployment of this Nuclear Technology on this planet's surface.
