Radioactive Particulate Spread? Governments like Japan try to deny the danger, but it does kill people with cancer. A very interesting 2003 article about the Sami (native [reindeer herders and other vocations] in northern and central Scandinavia) culture shows how this affected their lives when the particulate blew in from Chernobyl:

"Cesium 137 intruded into Sámi life foremost by contaminating their food supplies. Through rainfall following the explosion, radioactive fallout permeated freshwater lakes and inland forests, thereby contaminating fish, wild game, berries and other plants (Stephens, 1995). Most detrimental was the contamination of lichen, the main winter staple of Scandinavia’s reindeer. Lichens have no root system so they extract nutrients directly from the air, thereby acting as virtual radioactive sponges, absorbing incredible amounts of airborne cesium 137 and passing it straight onto the deer. Lichen is an extremely slow-growing plant, taking 30 years to regrow completely (Vitebsky). Thus, radioactivity in affected lichen may not drop to safe levels short of 20 to 30 years after contamination. The effects of the contaminated lichen were not fully realized until after the first post-Chernobyl autumn slaughter season; then scientists began to measure levels of radioactivity in slaughtered reindeer." From the air to the Lichens to the reindeer to your body......

Effects of the Chernobyl Disaster on Sámi Life

The night of April 26, 1986 scarred the way of life for the Sámi living in Sweden and Norway. The event would alter life especially for the Sámi reindeer herder, both economically and culturally. When one of four nuclear .......

Radioactive particles can be concentrated in certain food products such as fungi -

A ton of mushrooms containing ten times the safe level of a radioactive metal has been seized and destroyed by health chiefs.
The Bulgarian consignment of dried wild mushrooms is thought to have been irradiated by caesium 137 from the Chernobyl disaster in Ukraine 25 years ago.

The restrictions on farms in Wales (about 1700 miles away from Chernobyl) have only recently been lifted -

The sad reality of the points that you make are that our governments have failed us by Pooh Poohing the danger from Radioactive Particulate. They knew by 1950 that particulate is far more efficient at killing people than just radiation exposure from outside the body, but they did the open air testing just the same. Then year after year after year we watched as the cancer rate increased. Hundreds of millions of people Globally have now died of Cancer who would never have if we did not enter the nuclear era.

I have eight close friends in the Nuclear Industry and their attitude appears to be that, "You are going to die of something anyway, so what is the Big Deal about people dying of cancer?"

Notice that they admit in their position that they know that Nuclear Power is killing millions with the increased cancer rates. They just do not give a damn, because their source of employment (and personal wealth) is in the industry. (I.e. NO MORAL CONSCIENCE!)

The fact remains that those unfortunate people who are dying of Cancer are dying years before their time. Many are dying young. Many more have DNA damage that they are passing on to their children and their children for generations, and nobody is alarmed about this.

There is nothing SPAM about the tremendous increase in the death rate from radiation caused Cancer in the past century.

Cancer appears to have increased ten fold during that time. Thirty kids from my high school class are dead already and most of them died from Cancer.

this guy should have stayed in his cave...if you think the rate of cancer deaths are bad now,
...just wait................................................ End
