NUCLEAR POWER – WEAPONS AND WAR –
“Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.” – J. Robert Oppenheimer, scientist and “father of the bomb”
On the morning of 6 August 1945, the first atomic bomb, code-named “Little Boy” was dropped by the United States on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Three days later the United States dropped a plutonium bomb code-named “Fat Man” on the city of Nagasaki. 140,000 people (almost all civilians) died in Hiroshima either immediately or within a few days. Deaths in Nagasaki were about 74,000. The survivors lived on, some with horrifying burns scars, some to die of radiation-induced illnesses
Following the war, many scientists involved in the atomic bomb project, turned to the “atoms for peace” program – nuclear power. They did this partly out of guilt, partly to continue to be employed. (Where would a nuclear physicist get a job, otherwise? Well, some were happy to continue with nuclear weapons development)
Nuclear weapons are an inevitable by-product of the nuclear power industry.
Like climate change, nuclear weapons development is now at the point of a global emergency.
Time to close down the whole insane nuclear industry charade, before it kills us all.

Immediately after the Fukushima catastrophe, the Canadian government went into damage-control. Information on the unfolding nuclear catastrophe in Japan had clearly ignited the fears of many Canadians, as reports surfaced that Vancouver residents were flocking to drug stores to purchase potassium iodide in an effort to protect themselves from the effects of radiation. In an effort to assuage public opinion, Health Canada’s Dr. Paul Gully hastily stated on CBC news “that the risk to Canadians in Canada is negligible and will remain negligible, even in the worst-case scenario”.
Microsoft and duckduck go will not even allow nuclear-news.net in their search results. Sad
This evil fascist, usurps fukushima for its own gain. It’s prolly jim stone. It has scrubbed the inet of its real name. All of its other books are genocidal racist, trash. Its a darling on Amazon with its other ugly, fascist, spew . Col. Walter T. Richmond
FUKUSHIMA 311. It makes me so sad that cynical, fascist posers get away w this.
Glad somebody noticed that the search engines don’t allow nuclear-news.net. It used to be near the top of the search results,way back in the days before Google became completely dishonest. Sad to learn that Duckduck go has gone the same way..
