I think you have a short attention span so you’ll want to skip to the bottom and read below the line.
I just pointed out that fatalities and illnesses don’t happen immediately. History shows that. The research I linked to proves it. That’s why you are demanding to know NOW - because the toll on human health is not yet known. That was the sickening game nuke pimps played in Chernobyl, that’s the sick game you are playing now. YOU KNOW that cancers, leukemias etc. take time to develop. You keep isolating the ‘death toll’ to those suffering from Acute Radiation Sickness (ARS) because the IAEA used this method starting with Chernobyl and you people just can’t let go of a ‘good thing’, right? I just told you there is medical, scientific proof. That comprehensive medical report re Chernobyl identifies mind boggling levels of illness and death- regions of the Ukraine where ‘most children are too ill to attend school’, it documents cancers, leukemias etc. The report also traces upsurges in still births, trisomy, etc. across the globe and it does it well. And when it is done, the death toll for Chernobyl is presently estimated at around 1 million people and it is still continuing. Don’t like that estimate? OK, just for your benefit, let’s cut it by 75% for no reason at all other than your need for denial. So the death toll would be at around 250,000 and climbing for hundreds of years - so it’ll get back over 1 million anyway.
Those who read John Gofman will discover that the NRC began stripping researchers of funds when researchers reveal that radiation causes cancer. It’s been a long hard haul for the BEIR VI to get out the door - many other scientists never survive the onslaught of our government and nuke industry’s suppression. Oh but the medical community knows that radiation causes cancer and some intrepid soul actually plotted all the breast cancer in the United States geographically for a span of several years and, what do you know, 2/3 of these cases were located within a few miles of nuclear power plants! Surprise! But not really that surprising because there are people like a researcher known as ‘the mouse lady’ (because she creates breast cancer in mice for laboratories studying breast cancer). Wanna know her motto? “There is no breast cancer without radiation!” She says that because she had never found any other way to create breast cancer in mice in the lab other than radiation. Oh, Gofman was a nuclear physicist AND a medical physician and he proved that radiation causes breast cancer back in the 70’s. People die from that, ya know? What about the Downwinders who post on FR that ‘my wife’s entire high school class is dead’ as a result of being downwind of above ground testing? The hazards of radiation are known but are but denied heartily by the nuke industry.
So the long, sordid history of nuclear power in the US is bullying of scientists and suppression of research. There is a report out now studying nuke workers in Europe and what do you know, they are finding higher incidence of cancer at low exposure levels! SURPRISE! It shouldn’t really be a surprise because in 2000, the US congress enacted a worker protection act to compensate nuke workers employed by the defense. These workers were being declined compensation for their medical illnesses because they were technically below their legal exposure limit acquired while working on nuke defense projects. In fact, the defense department litigated against workers who tried to collect. But in 2000, congress passed a law to protect workers and noted that there was medical evidence that demonstrated that radiation causes cancer at levels below the limits set by the defense department. Ever hear about that? Why not? The government supports the nuke industry in bullying and stripping research funds from those whose research sheds an unpleasant light on the nuke industry. And then the nuke industry sneers that there’s no proof. But proof is leaking out anyway. Oh people have been injured and died in the US and the US, as the insurer of nuclear power, has the ability to deny, deny, deny and harass.

Oh, and while research shows that x exposure of radiation causes x increased amount of cancer/death, there are other causes for cancer as well - that’s why you keep wanting a name, one name from me. You ask for ONE NAME because you know medically we can prove radiation kills and sickens but on a ONE NAME basis, we cannot find a medical marker that says THIS specific person died from nuclear radiation induced cancer and THAT person died from genetic sensitivity to other environmental toxins. So your entire ‘test’ of my veracity is just one more pathetic game the amoral, conscience-free, unpatriotic parasites in the nuke industry play in order to refuse their responsibility.
Keep your dose or choke on it, it doesn’t matter to me.
