The Nuclear Theory You Never Knew Was Nonsense

Original Article

Posted By: DVC, 6/13/2023 8:12:59 PM

Steve Milloy, long-time editor and founder of JunkScience.com, announced an explosive exposé this month in an extended article. Government and private scientists in radiation safety have been attempting to cover up a pattern of misconduct and hijack the Health Physics Society, a professional organization of radiation safety experts and officials, to take down the society's series of twenty-two videos featuring Dr. Ed Calabrese, which exposes a longtime scam in radiation safety matters. The issue is Linear No Threshold Toxicology — LNT for short, also called the "one hit" theory of toxic radiation genetic mutation. These bad actors have also conspired to censor and silence Calabrese

Comments:

I became aware of this fact, that the LNT approach to radiation exposure is anti-science BS about 20 years ago, IIRC. Lots of "science" is just the popular BS pumped out at one point, and takes decades to unravel.

As odd as it sound, very low levels of radiation are proven harmless, and slightly higher levels of radiation have been proven to be beneficial. Perhaps this is why Denver area is a healthy place to live....it has dramatically higher background radiation levels than most cities, in fact, higher than the "deadly radiation" in about 95% of the exclusion zone in Japan which was evacuated after the meltdown of the Fukushima reactors. The Japanese authorities buy the whole Linear No Threshold theory of nuclear radiation exposure. And regardless that their "exclusion zone" is less radioactive than Denver....people were still ordered from their homes. If you want to read about the amazing "science experiment" that was accidentally done on Taiwan about 30-40 years ago, which proved this beneficial radiation effect, here's a link to a technical paper. In the last 10 years or so, the truth has been inexorably leaking out. There are a number of technical papers out there, and they were initially scoffed at because the data disagreed with the long held LNT theory. But it has always been just a theory, NO DATA to support it. And when the data got generated by accident....it disproved the theory, big time. Ten thousand people were exposed for up to 20 years....and the effects were tremendously beneficial for health, measured in many different ways. The effects were undeniable, and counter to prevailing "knowledge"....which turned out to be base on nothing at all except supposition. https://scholarworks.umass.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1338&context=dose_response

Yay! I just got to learn all about hormesis! Thanks, OP!! This is fascinating: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hormesis Also mentions the accidental Taiwan experiment: "In Taiwan, recycled radiocontaminated steel was inadvertently used in the construction of over 100 apartment buildings....." Good stuff!!

Fascinating. Mike Rowe did a recent short "The Way I Heard It" podcast about the elderly folks who refused to leave the city of Chernobyl. The man highlighted (one of many btw) just celebrated his 90th birthday. He has zero health issues. Lots of animals, even domestic animals live there too and are fine. It really makes you wonder how many lies have shaped our lives.

Re #2, the radioactive rebar affected 1700 apartments, with 10,000 people exposed for between 9 and 20 years. HUGE "experiment" which would be unethical to do, but once it had happened and was discovered....the data was then gathered, expecting to find thousands of "new cancers", and the results were the opposite. Amazing stuff. I first read of this years ago and bounced the concept off my VERY smart cellular biologist research professor friend. He expressed little surprise, saying "A little radiation damage to your DNA probably causes the natural DNA repair mechanisms to dial up their activity levels, and this probably catches more DNA damage than might otherwise have been caught, improving health." Made sense to me. But I stopped short of getting a radioactive source and putting it under my bed. Grin.

It’s interesting to see the pictures of Hiroshima from 1945 and today. A thriving Japanese city now. It was thought at one time that it would be hundreds of years before those areas would be habitable again. Apparently not, which leads me to believe that the greenies simply want to rid this country of cheap, affordable energy. It’s all about control, control the electric grid and you can control us deplorables.

I stood at ground zero in Nagasaki in August 1971. The plaque on the stele read something like - scientists believe nothing will grow here for 75 years. I read it while I stood on a grassy lawn in a lovely park filled with trees, shrubs, flowers and little girls playing with kittens. Experts!?

Liars are predisposed to lie regardless of the subject and what we've seen of late is the consistent behavior of 'doubling down' or using media or experts to help suppress the truth. All to gain power over the rest of us. It matters not the subject.

Isaac Asimov noted that while potassium is incorporated into the bodies of humans and other animals, some of that potassium is the isotope K40, which is radioactive and accounts for the majority of the radiation exposure for most humans. Asimov noted that life evolved over billions of years when the fraction of the potassium in existence which was radioactive K40 was far higher. Our systems therefore have built in methods of dealing with moderate levels of radiation exposure. This is proved by the Taiwan cobalt60 accident.

I was explaining LNT to someone and used the following. Let's say 100 people are dropped from a height of 100ft and all 100 died. LNT would say that therefore if you dropped them 1 foot, one person out of the 100 would die. Or one out of 200 would die if dropped from 6 inches. Silly, right? But every time you hear the EPA saying a new rule will save, say, 1500 lives a year.... think. Six inches.

LNT is used by the State of California to apply their Proposition 65 to about 23 pages of chemicals, many of which occur naturally in the environment.

Intuitively, any critical-thinker understands that the notion that "there is no safe level of radiation and that any exposure to radiation puts people at risk" is hooey if only he considers the fact that we're bombarded with radiation all the time. And if you've ever flown on an airplane, you're really getting hit. My own little empirical evidence of the relative risk of simply flying in an airplane versus spending the day at the world's worst nuclear accident site showed a higher reading on my dosimeter post-flight than after finishing the day at Chernobyl and driving through the nearby Pripyat countryside where not-a-few pensioners remained living in their homes.

Kind of makes sense when one considers that radiation has been used to rid people of cancer for decades. We're exposed to radiation when we go to the dentist, and when we go outside in the sun. It's the extremely high doses of radiation that are harmful I guess.

Every time I run into someone who’s wary of nuclear power to generate electricity (and these days, that’s not often) I tell them I have three words to change their minds: “United States Navy.” There are God knows how many nuclear-powered submarines, aircraft carriers and other Navy ships sailing around the world with no problems at all. Navy nuclear power technicians are thoroughly and expertly trained, and safety procedures are rigidly enforced. Our electric power grid should have been all nuclear-powered decades ago.

In my younger days, one of my duties was Radiation Safety Officer for x-ray and gamma ray inspection operations. There are "safe" limits for hands, whole body, etc., and I kept track of film badges and dosimeters to make sure technicians stayed within the allowed doses. I know that we are exposed to increased radiation in the mountains, in airplanes and yes, by eating Brazil nuts. But, I will pass on getting any unnecessary exposure.

Posted by DVC1/2/2025 12:17:51 PM
The Ford Motor Co is recalling 20,484 hybrid crossover SUVs over battery concerns that could potentially lead to a fire, documents lodged with the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) set out. The recall covers 16,480 Escape and 4004 Lincoln Corsair plug-in-hybrid SUVs from model years 2020 to 2024. In documents filed with the NHTSA, the automaker said the problem occurred in manufacturing, and resulting “microdefects and local stresses” could cause the high-voltage battery cell’s separator layer to become damaged, leading to a short circuit and potentially, a fire. The NHTSA filing explained in detail:
Jimmy Carter: His image vs. the reality
I experienced covering his 1976 campaign

Posted by DVC12/30/2024 7:24:24 PM
As a young freelance journalist and photographer in Washington, D.C. in the mid-1970s, I covered Georgia Democrat Gov. Jimmy Carter’s successful campaign for the presidency in 1976. I was on the press bus when he campaigned in the primaries in Washington, D.C. and Maryland. I had press credentials to attend the Democrat National Convention in New York City in July [snip] What I have never forgotten in the almost half-century since then is how the reality I observed of Carter, as he dispatched his more well-known opponents on his ascent to the presidency, differed substantially from the carefully crafted image that helped to get him elected.
The rhetoric of gun violence 3 replies
Posted by DVC12/28/2024 3:30:15 PM
For some years now we’ve been told words are violence. It’s a jarring assertion for Americans brought up on the axiom that sticks and stone may break their bones, but words can never hurt them. So, sticks, stones and words can break our bones? Our parents and relatives were lying to us? The center cannot hold. The trans “movement” goes a bit beyond that assertion with the certainty that the unexpressed thoughts of Normal Americans are a “trans genocide,” but that was a topic for another article. The Democrat/socialist/communist (D/s/c) left has always been the nearly exclusive manipulator of language. When one of their perfect, non-falsifiable policies fails
Azerbaijan Airlines crash sparks speculation

An Azerbaijan Airlines plane crash on Christmas Day has prompted speculation the plane was shot down by Russia after it took a detour of hundreds of miles in the wrong direction and crash-landed with holes in the fuselage. Russian military bloggers have suggested the plane, which crashed near the Kazakhstan city of Aktau, could have been mistaken for a Ukrainian drone. The incident, which killed at least 38 people and injured a further 29, took place after a significant detour, which could have been caused by GPS jamming.
Lesley Stahl Can’t Figure Out the Decline
of Legacy Media

Newscaster Lesley Stahl claims she “doesn’t know what to do” about the embarrassing demise of the legacy media. She was lamenting to her colleague, Peggy Noonan, that “we are at the point where even the president,” then corrected herself saying, “Elon Musk,” asserted that legacy media is dead. She appeared extremely worried, spilling her deepest concerns, in front of an empathetic audience gathered at the 92nd St. YMCA studio in New York. It was as if Stahl was having an out-of-body experience, where she failed to factor in herself, in accounting for the reason why audiences were abandoning network news in droves.
Are leftists mentally ill? 18 replies
Posted by DVC12/19/2024 9:33:50 PM
Do people on the radical left demonstrate a mental disorder? Most people on the right roll their eyes at the hysteria and fears of the left, but what’s to be done? Given that there were major shifts on the left in the 2024 election, is it possible that somehow sanity is breaking through? With the ongoing polarization that has burdened this country, it’s worthwhile to examine the psychological framework of leftists; both how they see themselves and how they see others. The results may also indicate whether the changes in voting behavior might continue, or whether they were situational. A phrase that’s been coined is “Left-Wing Authoritarianism” (LWA)

It was a moment I’ll never forget: Friday afternoon, November 15, 2019. After spending Veterans’ Day week in snowy, freezing Leavenworth, Kansas, I returned to Charlotte for a court appearance that morning in neighboring York County. I was talking to a friend on my cell phone, driving eastbound on Pineville-Matthews Road, when my phone beeped with an incoming call. The screen flashed: The White House. I pulled off the road into a Panera Bread parking lot and answered the call. It was the president’s military attaché. “Mr. Brown, I’m here with the president. The president wants to know if he has permission to call your client.”

Los Angeles' budget is in the spotlight as multiple wildfires rage around the city amid revelations that Mayor Karen Bass slashed the fire department's budget last year while prioritizing spending on the city's homeless population. For the 2023-2024 fiscal year, Los Angeles budgeted $837 million for the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD), which was roughly 65% the size of the homeless budget of $1.3 billion. An analysis by L.A.'s city comptroller last year found that roughly half the budget for homelessness went unspent.

The Supreme Court on Thursday denied President-elect Donald Trump’s bid to delay his Friday morning sentencing in the New York hush money case. The Supreme Court’s order clears the way for Manhattan judge Juan Merchan to impose the long-awaited sentence on the incoming president. Merchan said he would not give Trump jail time, fines, or probation during the virtual hearing. Scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Friday, the sentencing comes ten days before Trump’s inauguration. In the Supreme Court’s brief order published Thursday evening, five justices denied Trump’s application for postponing the sentencing date.

New York Judge Juan Merchan ruled Friday that President-elect Donald Trump will not face any punishment after being convicted of 34 felonies related to a hush-money payment to porn actress Stormy Daniels. Merchan gave Trump an unconditional discharge, meaning he declined to sentence Trump to jail time or probation in light of the president-elect’s imminent return to the White House. The sentencing puts an end to an unprecedented case that Trump and his allies have cast as political persecution.

Joe Biden is mentally cooked and almost out the door, but he had to do what presidents do during these natural disasters. The wildfires engulfing Los Angeles County is the second inferno Biden has dealt with. He led Maui burn to the ground and took his sweet time visiting the island, whose residents endured the worst wildfire seen in almost a century. The president was briefed on the raging wildfires that have so far killed at least two people, destroyed over 1,000 buildings, forced 70,000 from their homes, and charred close to 30,000 acres. None of the fires have been contained (via CBS News):

While much of the nation’s attention has been focused on the ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles, former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral took place on Thursday. What was intended to be a somber occasion, however, quickly became charged with tension so thick attendees could feel it in the air.Among the ceremonial obligations to honor the former president, the spectacle of political posturing and strained handshakes was enough to quite the sideshow. It began with President Donald Trump walking past Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Trudeau’s side-eye was practically a headline in itself. (X)
