Nuclear lobby buys off Imperial College London to the applause of Fionna Fox

UNSW reinstated its graduate program in nuclear engineering this year, having previously offered courses between 1954 and 1986.

“Components to build a reactor are sourced from a number of different high tech engineering companies specialising in anything from pumps to control systems,” he says.

“Australia is a well known provider of world beating civil engineering but are also involved in other parts of the process.”

GERALDINE THOMAS (Chernobyl Tissue Bank): “Following Fukushima I doubt that there’ll be any rise in thyroid cancers in Japan.”

A teaching partnership with Imperial College London has given the first students in UNSW’s nuclear engineering masters program access to experts including Britain’s Chief Scientific Adviser to its Foreign Service, Robin Grimes.

Grimes, also a Professor of Materials Physics at Imperial College London, fellow College lecturer Dr Mark Wenman, and Dr Simon Walker are the first Imperial staff to visit UNSW under the partnership agreement.

“Imperial College is constantly developing and maturing partnerships with world-beating organisations,” Grimes says.

“We’re at the beginning of our journey with UNSW. We will carry out nuclear energy-related research together and as we become more familiar with each other’s processes and longer term goals, I hope it will lead to a much closer relationship.”

RUSI set to cover up the full impact of TEMPORA on UK population

Op Ed by arclight2011part2

2 April 2014

Posted to nuclear-news.net

Over the last 3 years, I have been researching information concerning the incident at the Fukushima Daichi nuclear site. Specifically I have concerns with the population and environment. In the course of my research I have found a lot of evidence about the nuclear processes and the different types of pollution that they emit into our environment.

I discovered that NO2 is a pollutant from the decommissioning processes used in the UK and possibly at other sites that use nitric acid to “melt” old fuel rods and contaminated materials. Many people die each year in the UK from the NO2 and the European Union has taken the UK government to task for all this “un-sourced” NO2. There is even some preliminary evidence of these new nuclear processes are causing miscarriage rates to soar.There are many other pollutants as well.

I also discovered that many institutions around the globe have been corrupted because of “national security” issues. The military industrial complex and their associated financiers have stopped most debate about this subject and by funding universities and medical organisations, have corrupted our health and education systems..

A nice example of how things get covered up is on the links and quotes below. I have tried many times to get some support to challenge, what I feel, is a blatant abuse of the TEMPORA system. Having been hacked and harassed in many forms, I can attest to the highly damaging nature of such technology when used in conjunction with corporate entities such as in Insurance companies, banks,  telecommunications etc.

The latest attacks over the past few weeks are getting more urgent in their nature and I was wondering why? After talking to Chris Busby and others, I realised that the attack in the UK is widespread and damaging to many people from all walks of life.

Whilst RUSI are tasked with looking at the legal implications of Edward Snowdens revelations and how it has highlighted illegal wiretapping etc, it seems that the actual effects of such a system on the population at large is not of importance to them.

RUSI are the “independent” organisation looking into “official” hacking by GCHQ. I offered to give a witness statement outlining my situation with work and personal references but have received no reply, not even an acknowledgement.I also offered to supply other witness statements from anti nuclear activists and independent scientists.

Having been ignored and after a bit of searching I found this tweet from 2013 ..

“I would argue that the public does not need to know about Prism or Tempora,” says Charlie Edwards, RUSI #r4today …

And charlie is this guy .. https://www.rusi.org/analysis/authors/ref:B5134A15F3880E/

Here is the link to the report info

“RUSI to Convene Independent Review on the Use of Internet Data for Surveillance Purposes” https://www.rusi.org/news/ref:N5315B2C9B1941/

So RUSI will do a report that will support the military/security viewpoint and so no real independent  discussion or critique will be allowed to be heard. In fact it is worse than that as Charlie Edwards statement above seems to testify to.

Another example of how to spin an independent inquiry is shown below courtesy of the Guardian. I might point out that Tony Blair works for WPP and therefore its daughter company Ogilvey and Maher who are in the business of using their media empire to smooth over large Industrial disasters such as the BP oil spill in the gulf of Mexico and Fukushima in Japan as 2 examples of contracts that they have taken on for the USA and Japanese governments to reduce liability costs for victims.

Tony Blair manages Rebecca Brooks

According to Brooks’s note, Blair advised her to set up an “independent” inquiry, suggesting it could have “outside counsel, Ken Macdonald [the former director of public prosecutions], a great and good type“.

He said the inquiry would be “Hutton style” – a reference to Lord Hutton’s inquiry into the death of David Kelly – and would “clear” her, but warned that “shortcomings” would have to be accepted as a result of the report.

…Despite the strong interparty consensus on the issue, therefore, the United Kingdom remains a country where public opinion – and anti-nuclear energy activists – will have to be “monitored” carefully to gauge which way the country will go following the Fukushima incident….. STRATFOR REPORT

XIII 国連と原子力の問題 UN and Nuclear Power Issues – How to lie when working for the IAEA

http://savekidsjapan.blogspot.jp/2013/01/xiii-un-and-nuclear-power-issues.html

ＸＩＩＩ　国連と原子力の問題について
UN and Nuclear Power Issues

2000年にアナン事務総長が「チェルノブイリで医療措置を必要としている子供が３００万人」といった発言を真っ向から否定したLars Eric Holm氏は、IAEA, ICRP, UNSCEARに所属

Mr. Lars Eric Holm from IAEA, ICRP, UNSCEAR denied UN Secretary General Mr. Annan’s statement in 2000 “3 million children require physical treatment from Chernobyl.”
 
原 爆投下直後から数千の被曝者の治療にあたった広島被爆医師の肥田舜太郎氏によれば、１９６８年国連のウ・タント報告書では、「生存被曝者はすべて健康」と 記載されており、驚いた肥田氏は国連にそうではないことを丁寧に説明し、その後１１０００人以上のヒバクシャ聞きとり報告を持って１９７７年国連とＮＧＯ 主宰の被曝者の実相に関する会議が開かれたと言います。核兵器の非人道性を過小評価するために、科学的に根拠のないことがヒバクシャが声を上げる前まで国 際的に長年の間まかり通っていたことになります。このエピソードが物語るように、真実というものは、被害者の声を聞かなければわかるものではありません。
According to Hiroshima A-bomb survivor Dr. Shuntaro Hida who has been treating A-bomb victims as a medical doctor, he was shocked when he saw 1968 UN U. Thanto Report saying, “All the A-bomb survivors have no health problems.” He went to the UN explaining the fact that there have been countless ill health survivors. Then upon the UN request, he conducted more than 11000 survivors’ survey, and an international conference by UN and NGOs was realized in 1977 focusing on the reality of A-bomb late effects on survivors.
In order to downplay the inhumane cruelty of nuclear weapons, scientifically groundless theory had been prevailed for many years until the A-bomb survivors’ raised their voices. As this episode shows, the truth could be hidden unless the victims’ voices are heard.
 
実 は日本国内でも、上記の肥田医師のような人は、まったく例外であり、ほとんどの医師や学者が政府側について研究費をもらい、被曝研究を行い、被曝の過小評 価をしてきたのです。原爆被爆者には悲しい歴史があり、原爆投下後、何年も原爆について語ることは禁じられ、また、原爆投下点から離れた被曝者は長年その 被害を認められませんでした。２００８年になってようやく、司法の場で、半径２ｋｍ以遠の被曝者が認められたのです。
As a matter of fact, a person like Dr. Hida was quite exceptional , and most doctors took the side of the US and Japanese governments to obtain research money on A-bomb survivors to downplay the late effects. There is a sad history among A-bomb survivors who were forced to be silent about A-bombs for years after the attack, and survivors at distant areas were not recognized as victims. As late as 2008, A-bomb survivors outside of 2km radius of the epicenter were recognized as the victims by the court.
 
ま た動物実験ではほぼ１世紀も前に証明されている放射線の遺伝的影響は、現在でも否定されています。長崎では胎児や赤ん坊を何千も解剖した学者がおり、遺伝 的な影響も出ていたのですが、そのような核開発推進に邪魔となるデータは敢えて無視し、代わりに原子力を持つ政府寄りの学者らが偏ったデータを使うこと で、原爆による遺伝的な影響を受けた者はいないとされてきました。広島長崎の学者たちのほとんどが権力側に加担し、被曝の実相を国内にも世界にも訴えな かったということは、日本の恥部だと思っています。
Moreover, genetic effects of radiation has been denied even as of today though it had been proven by animal experiments almost a century ago. In Nagasaki, there was a doctor who conducted autopsy on thousands of babies and fetus to see genetic effects of radiation. However, such inconvenient fact has been ignored by nuclear promoting lobbies and only biased data have been used by the nuclear power states and their affiliated scholars to deny any genetic effects by A-bombs. I think it is a shame of Japan’s history that our scholars have been siding on the government to conceal the facts about radiation effects domestically and internationally.
 
そ して１９９１年のＩＡＥＡ主導の国際チェルノブイリプロジェクトでは、広島の放射線影響研究所の重松逸造氏が委員長として、「汚染地帯の住民には放射能に よる健康影響は認められない、むしろ放射能恐怖症による精神的ストレスのほうが問題である。」と発表しました。被爆者を研究してきた医師と言うことで期待 した現地の医師や住民の落胆は非常に大きかったと言います。現地の医師たちはＩＡＥＡの報告の前に既に様々な放射線原因の健康異常を観察・報告していたの です。
In 1991, the leader of International Chernobyl Project lead by IAEA, Dr. Itsuzo Shigematsu, who was the director of Radiation Effects Research Foundation stated that no health disorder has been caused directly by radiation exposure and that negative impacts were caused only by stress. I heard the disappointment felt by local doctors and residents who at first had some expectation from Dr. Shigematsu who had researched on A-bomb victims were really great. They had observed and reported various radiation caused health damages before the 1991 IAEA report.
 
し かし１９９６年にはＩＡＥＡは、甲状腺ガンに限っては過ちを認めることになります。しかし、このことは、既に汚染された土地で暮らしている人々への予防原 則的な警告をタイムリーに発せられなかったこと、その間に新たに健康被害をこうむったチェルノブイリの汚染地帯の住民のことを考えれば、健康問題に対する 予防原則を考えれば、当然謝罪すべき話だと思います。しかしながらいまだにそのような謝罪がないことは、非常に倫理的におかしな話です。
However, in 1996, IAEA admitted that they had made a mistake on the additional thousands of cases of thyroid cancer. This means that a proper warning was not given at a timely manner and that residents in the contaminated area may have been exposed to further risks without any advice. Considering a preventive measure for protecting health, the then members of IAEA Project Team should extend apologies to the residents in the contaminated area, but such apologies have never been heard, which is ethically quite wrong.
 
私 がこのことを強調して言いたいのは、こういった類の学者たちは、意図的に同じ過ちを繰り返すからです。ちなみにこの重松氏の直弟子である長瀧重信氏は、 「チェルノブイリでのセシウムによる健康被害はいまだ認められていません」といい、その孫弟子にあたる山下俊一氏が「福島では健康被害はない」と主張して いるのです。
