--exposing the anti-nuke lobby--

[bmwcyle]

Making a story to open the check books. It is a good cause but stop the liberal lies to take money from people.

Hmmm, who to believe? Leftist anti-nuke activist or "Paul Lorenzini ... a nuclear engineer and former general manager of operations at the Department of Energy's nuclear facilities in Hanford, Washington."

For the leftists the answer is clear: believe the one with no expertise in the matter as long as leftist views are supported.

Great post! Thanks

Here is a link to a translation I made awhile ago, called "Chernobyl - Invisible Death". What I found more interesting, from the same book, was a chapter titled: Soldiers of the Chelyabinsk Chernobyl, about disasters in the Soviet/Russian nuclear weapons industries.

I'm betting it takes only ten posts before someone puts up a link to the debunked story of a motorcycle ride through Chernobyl.

Michael Criton also debunks the Chernoble nonsense in his latest book.

If it ain't sensational, it ain't news.

Exposure damage to radiation is additive over your life. Basically you want to avoid it whenever possible.

It was awful what happened at Chernobyl. But we gotta remember, the technology being used at the plant was old and faulty. One could easily expect that new plants would be quite a bit safer.

I suppose you don't believe that there are giant ants caused by the nuclear testing in Nevada.

The primary cause of Chernobyl was the instability of graphite moderated reactors at low power levels.

I've seen this documentary, and, while it was interesting enough -- mostly because of the eerie shots of the ghost towns in Chernobyl's vicinity -- I began to suspect it was a propaganda effort when it kept belaboring the assertion that nuclear fallout from the disaster was responsible for every little thing that had gone wrong in that part of the Ukraine for the last 500 years.

No effort was made to balance the usefulness of nuclear power against the risks of poorly maintained, poorly staffed plants. The film turned into a universal condemnation of nuclear power, a horror story for the post-Cold War era.
