British jury finds Uranium guilty - Verdict based on failure of ICRP risk model
On September 10th a Coroner's jury in the West Midlands found that depleted Uranium caused the fatal cancer of a soldier - Lance Corporal Stuart Dyson - who served in Iraq during the 1991 Gulf War. Our report links to a PDF compilation of the expert witnesses' written statements.
Scientific absurdity at The Guardian
Simon Jenkins' ludicrous book review on Friday 8th January [1] had more factual errors than we can spare the time to address, but the Guardian's blitz on radiation risk over the weekend 8th - 11th January 2010 needs a little attention. More (including comments on letters from Prof Dillwyn Williams and Dr Ian Fairlie).
Low Level Radiation Campaign
the missionFor 50 years the nuclear establishment has claimed its discharges are pretty harmless. They admit that there's no safe dose, so that even the smallest amounts of radiation can cause genetic damage leading to cancer, leukaemia or birth defects, but according to the official view not even the Chernobyl disaster has caused any visible effects. Officially, it caused the deaths of a few highly irradiated firemen and up to 2000 additional thyroid cancers, which are mostly treatable. And that's it, they say.
We have a different story to tell.
The nuclear age is also the cancer age. The first visible population effect was the increase in childhood leukaemia which began during World War One and rose in line with radium production for decades. The Cold War orgy of nuclear bomb tests, which spread man-made radioactivity all round the globe, was accompanied by a change in infant mortality rates which accounted for the deaths of tens of thousands of children. Variations in the amounts of radioactive fallout were reflected in subsequent cancer rates and we are now living through a cancer epidemic.
Cancer and leukaemia clusters have been found in association with nuclear sites and with places where radioactive discharges are deposited in, for example, mud banks and estuaries.
The effects of Chernobyl, especially those reported from Belarus, the Ukraine and Russia, are a holocaust.Officials deny that any of this can be attributed to radioactivity but, as we explain on this site, the denials have no scientific basis. This is because
This is the biggest and longest running health scandal of all time. The Low Level Radiation Campaign has been working to uncover it since 1992, taking the lid off cover-ups, lies, data withheld, data revised, gross errors by cancer authorities, bad science, bowdlerised reports, bullying in committees, legal threats and dissenting scientists being libelled and barred from conferences.
- the underlying scientific model is based on external irradiation
- risk is quantified in terms of dose
- dose is now acknowledged to be meaningless for many types of radioactivity when they are inside the body (see these quotes from various authorities.
As (we believe) a direct result, the authorities can no longer deny the truth and we are now witnessing a slow-motion paradigm shift.The many topics we cover are listed on our old index page, which is still on the site while it undergoes a tidy up.
