    From 9pm on Friday 8 June to lunchtime on Sunday 10 June. June is camp’s birthday (22nd year this year), so we will probably host some kind of party. Add this weekend to your diary now! For more details about visiting camp, Women from Aldermaston Women’s Peace Camp(aign) have called for a celebratory camp birthday cocktail party on Saturday 9 June.

    This will be the first camp weekend after the byelaws come into force and we would like to invite as many women as possible to join us. Of course this will be a fantastic party in its own right, but we would also like to send a clear message to the MoD that women will continue to occupy space outside AWE Aldermaston, continue resisting Britain’s nuclear weapons programme, and continue claiming the right to protest.

    Join a night of sophisticated sipping to mark camp’s 22nd birthday. Dress code: Cocktail dresses or suits. Bring: drinks (soft, spirits, mixers, etc) and a cocktail glass.

    So, sidle up to the bar for your favourite tipple (there’ll be ice!), check out the groovy tunes and shake your stuff on the dancefloor, and have a night of fabulous, swinging party happennings!

    NOTE: New byelaws come into force on 31 May 2007. This may (or may not) have an impact on the party. As of 31 May 2007, new byelaws for AWE Aldermaston came into force.

    The amended byelaws, although theoretically allowing protest at Aldermaston, now threaten the very existence of the women’s peace camp – which has been protesting outside the nuclear weapons factory every month for the past 22 years. The new byelaws criminalise camping and lighting “bonfires” (the women use a camp fire to keep warm and cook), Though the inhuman act of the UK goverment creating thermo nucler weapons of mass distruction is still undiplomaticaly taking place, despite our international obligations under the NPT.

    The byelaws also criminalise things as simple as attaching banners to the fence at Aldermaston, which they have traditionally done to alert passers by to the nuclear weapons factory, or as vague as “causing annoyance to any other person” however, parties are not prohibited.

    good luck and love jonahug

    i went to greenham common as a kid with my mum

    respect

    hmm, obviously we aren’t invited glo :hopeless: … good cause tho

    Have a good one, Jonahug

    .~?

    its a women only thing, or have i got the wrong end of the stick?

    I thought it was an open invitation from the wording?

    don’t think its a women only thing – its a women’s camp, but they are having a party

    thats right, all are invited!

    It is a party marking this peace camps 22nd year of vigulancies and peacful protest against the Reality about the abomination of weapons created for mass destruction.

    There will be other stalls, face painting, musicians and creative activities there with a 100% good Atmospheare!

    sweet, aldermaston is only a spit away … mmmm could be one to mention to the dudes 🙂

    Yes, if you whant to come, then invite your friends, if you don’t mind partying out side a factory that makes weapons to kill people.

    Nuclear weapons may kill any one, Women or Man, hermaphrodite or child, black or white, of any culter, they are undeterminable as to who they destroy, so I say if you wish to peacefully protest against the evil arms trade, then do so while you still can.

    After all, I doubt wether us peacfull protesters would be invited to a Nuclear Fall Out Bunker, nor would much of our housing estate. Who’d whant to live with such scum who couldnt see the wonder of life antway!)

    If Peaple whant, why don’t they make up there own camp, or bring there own banners, paint, stalls and music! Why? Well you might as well, before you need a licence to breath!

    Aldermaston regularly monitor atmospheric radiation levels, transported by atmospheric sand and dust storms, or air currents, from radiation sources in North Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia.

    After the “Shock and Awe” campaign in Iraq in 2003, very fine particles of depleted uranium were captured with larger sand and dust particles in filters in Britain.

    These particles traveled in 7-9 days from Iraqi battlefields as far as 2400 miles away.

    The radiation measured in the atmosphere quadrupled within a few weeks after the beginning of the 2003 campaign, and at one of the 5 monitoring locations, the levels twice required an official alert to the British Environment Agency.

    In addition to depleted uranium data gathered in previous studies on Kosovo and Bosnia by Dr. Busby, the Aldermaston air monitoring data provided a continuous record of depleted uranium levels in Britain from the other recent wars.

    Extensive video news footage of the 2003 Iraq war, including Fallujah in 2004, provided irrefutable documented evidence that the US has unethically and illegally used depleted uranium munitions on cities and other civilian populations.

    These military actions are in direct violation of not only the international conventions, but also violate US military law because the US is a signatory to The Hague and Geneva Conventions and the 1925 Geneva Gas Protocol.

    Depleted uranium weaponry meets the definition of a Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD) in two out of three categories under US Code TITLE 50, CHAPTER 40 Sec.

    After action mandates have also been violated such as US Army Regulation AR 700-48 and TB 9-1300-278 which requires treatment of radiation poisoning for all casualties, including enemy soldiers and civilians, and remediation.

    Dr. Busby’s request for this data through Halliburton from AWE, and subsequently provided by the Defence Procurement Agency, was necessary to establish verification of Iraq’s 2003 depleted uranium levels in the atmosphere.

    These facts demonstrate why Halliburton (AWE) refused to release the 2003 data to him, and it obviously establishes that weaponized depleted uranium is an indiscriminate weapon being distributed all over the world in a very short period of time, immediately after its use.

    The recent documentary film BEYOND TREASON details the horrific effects of depleted uranium exposure on American troops and Iraqi civilians in the Gulf region in 1991; not to speak of those civilians continuing to live in permanently contaminated and thus uninhabitable regions.

    Global increases since 1991 of melanoma, infant mortality, and frog die-offs can only be explained by an environmental contaminant. Alarming global increases in diabetes, with high correlation to depleted uranium wars in Iraq, Bosnia/Kosovo, and Afghanistan, demonstrate that diabetes is a sensitive indicator and a rapid response to internal depleted uranium exposure.

    Americans in 2003 reported visiting Iraqi relatives in Baghdad who were suffering from an epidemic of diabetes.

    After returning to the US following 2-3 weeks in Iraq, they discovered within a few months that they too had diabetes.

    Japanese human shields and journalists who worked in Iraq during the 2003 war are sick and now have symptoms typical of depleted uranium exposure.

    Likewise, after the US Navy, several years ago, moved depleted uranium bombing and gunnery ranges from Vieques Island in Puerto Rico to Australia, health effects there are already being reported.

    The documentary film BLOWIN’ IN THE WIND, has an interview with a family with two normal teenage daughters, living near the bombing range where depleted uranium weaponry is now being used.

    The parents showed photos of their baby born recently with severe birth defects. The baby looked like Iraqi deformed babies, and like many of the Iraqi babies, died 5 days after birth.

    Other than anonymous British government officials denying that Iraq was the source of the depleted uranium measured at Aldermaston by AWE, and some unnamed ‘establishment scientists’ blaming it on local sources or natural uranium in the Iraq environment, there is no one, as of this writing, willing to lend their name or office to refuting this damning evidence reported by Dr. Busby.

    All of the anonymous statements used by the media thus far are contradicted by the factual evidence found in the filters, which was all transported from the same region.

    The natural abundance of uranium in the crust of the earth is 2.4 parts per million, which would not become concentrated to the high levels measured in Britain during a long journey from the Middle East. These particles traveling over thousands of miles would dilute the concentration rather than increase it.

    There are no known natural uranium deposits in Iraq which make it impossible for these anonymous claims to have scientific credibility.

    Unnamed government sources blamed local sources in Britain such as nuclear power plants; however that would also leave evidence of fission products in the filters which were not in evidence.

    The lowest levels measured at monitoring stations around Aldermaston were at the facility, which means it could not be a possible source. Atomic weapons facilities would be more likely to produce plutonium contamination, also not reported as a co-contaminant at Aldermaston.

    In other words, all factual evidence considered, the question must be asked, what were the media’s anonymous experts and government officials basing their claims on?

    Dr. Keith Baverstock exposed a World Health Organization (WHO) cover-up on depleted uranium in an Aljazeera article, “Washington’s Secret Nuclear War” posted on September 14, 2004. It was the most popular article ever posted on the Aljazeera English language website.

    Baverstock leaked an official WHO report that he wrote, to the media several years ago after the WHO refused to publish it. He warned in the report about the mobility of, and environmental contamination from, tiny depleted uranium particles formed from US munitions.

    Busby’s ECRR report challenged the International Committee on Radiation Protection (ICRP) standards for radiation risk, and reported that the mutagenic effects of radiation determined by Chernobyl studies are actually 1000 times higher than the ICRP risk model predicts.

    The ECRR report also establishes that the ICRP risk model, based on external exposure of Hiroshima and Nagasaki victims, and the ECRR risk model, based on internal exposure, are mutually exclusive models. In other words, the ICRP risk model based on external exposure cannot be used to estimate internal exposure risk.

    The report also states that a separate study is needed for depleted uranium exposure risks, because it may be far more toxic than nuclear weapons or nuclear power plant exposures. In July of 2005, the National Academy of Sciences reported in their new BEIR VII report on low level radiation, that there is “no safe level of exposure”.

    The report also finally admitted that very low levels are more harmful per unit of radiation than higher levels of exposure, also known as the “supralinear” effect.

    This is extremely alarming information on low level radiation risk, since the AWE data from Aldermaston confirms that rapid global transport of depleted uranium dust is occurring.

    Dr. Katsuma Yagasaki, a Japanese physicist at the University of the Ryukyus in Okinawa, has estimated that the atomicity equivalent of at least 400,000 Nagasaki bombs has been released into the global atmosphere since 1991, from the use of depleted uranium munitions.

    It is completely mixed in the atmosphere in one year. The “smog of war” from Gulf War I was found in glaciers and ice sheets globally a year later.

    Even more alarming is the non-specific catalytic or enzyme effect from internal exposures to nanoparticles of depleted uranium. Soldiers on depleted uranium battlefields have reported that, after noticing a metallic taste in their mouths, within 24-48 hours of exposure they became sick with Gulf War syndrome symptoms.

    Who is profiting from this global uranium nightmare? Dr. Jay Gould revealed in his book THE ENEMY WITHIN [see excerpt], that the British Royal family privately owns investments in uranium holdings worth over $6 billion through Rio Tinto Mines.

    The mining company was formed for the British Royal family in the late 1950’s by Roland Walter “Tiny” Rowland, the Queen’s buccaneer.

    Born in 1917 through illegitimate German parentage, and before changing his name, Roland Walter Fuhrhop was a passionate member of the Nazi youth movement by 1933, and a classmate described him as “…an ardent supporter of Hitler and an arrogant, nasty piece of work to boot.”

    His meteoric rise and protection by intel agencies and the British Crown are an indication of what an asset he has been for decades to the Queen, as Africa’s most powerful Western businessman.

    Africa and Australia are two of the main sources of uranium in the world. The Rothschilds control uranium supplies and prices globally, and one serves as the Queen’s business manager.

    Filmmaker David Bradbury made BLOWIN’ IN THE WIND to expose depleted uranium bombing and gunnery range activities contaminating pristine areas of eastern Australia, and to expose plans to extract over $36 billion in uranium from mines in the interior over the next 6 years. Halliburton has finished construction of a 1000 mile railway from the mining area to a port on the north coast of Australia to transport the ore.

    The Queen’s favorite American buccaneers, Cheney, Halliburton, and the Bush family, are tied to her through uranium mining and the shared use of illegal depleted uranium munitions in the Middle East, Central Asia and Kosovo/Bosnia.

    The major roles that such diverse individuals and groups as the Carlyle Group, George Herbert Walker Bush, former Carlyle CEO Frank Calucci, the University of California managed nuclear weapons labs at Los Alamos and Livermore, and US and international pension fund investments have played in proliferating depleted uranium weapons is not well known or in most instances even recognized, inside or outside the country.

    The fact remains that the main threat of Nuclear Proliferation, comes from those countrys who still continue to pursue the dangourouse enviromentaly degraiding and biologicaly damaging Nuclear Power Stations and continue to maintane, store, transport and develop nuclear weopns, rather than decomishioning, dismatling and disarming the nuclear lagasie which life on the world, cant afford to pay.

    scientific everdance to sugest that Depleted Uranium Measured in British Atmosphere is the result of Uranium weapons in Gulf War II and has resulted in the contamination of Europe. In a report by Leuren Moret, Geoscientists and President, Scientists for Indigenous People of Berkeley C/A, at http://www.mindfully.org, it is sugested that Evidence from the measurements of the Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE), Aldermaston, Berkshire, UK,” reported the Sunday Times Online (February 19, 2006) in a shocking scientific study authored by British scientists Dr. Chris Busby and Saoirse Morgan.

    The highest levels of depleted uranium ever measured in the atmosphere in Britain, were transported on air currents from the Middle East and Central Asia; of special significance were those from the Tora Bora bombing in Afghanistan in 2001, and the “Shock & Awe” bombing during Gulf War II in Iraq in 2003.

    Out of concern for the public, the official British government air monitoring facility, known as the Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE), at Aldermaston, was established years ago to measure radioactive emissions from British nuclear power plants and atomic weapons facilities.

    The British government facility (AWE) was taken over 3 years ago by Halliburton, which refused at first to release air monitoring data to Dr. Busby, as required by law.

    An international expert on low level radiation, Busby serves as an official advisor on several British government committees, and co-authored an independent report on low level radiation with 45 scientists, the European Committee on Radiation Risk (ECRR), for the European Parliament. He was able to get Aldermaston air monitoring data from Halliburton /AWE by filing a Freedom of Information request using a new British law which became effective January 1, 2005; but the data for 2003 was missing. He obtained the 2003 data from the Defence Procurement Agency.

    The fact that the air monitoring data was circulated by Halliburton/ AWE to the Defence Procurement Agency, implies that it was considered to be relevant, and that Dr. Busby was stonewalled because Halliburton/ AWE clearly recognized that it was a serious enough matter to justify a government interpretation of the results, and official decisions had to be made about what the data would show and its political implications for the military.

    In a similar circumstance, in 1992, Major Doug Rokke, the Director of the U.S. Army Depleted Uranium Cleanup Project after Gulf War I, was ordered by a U.S. Army General officer to write a no-bid contract “Depleted Uranium, Contaminated Equipment, and Facilities Recovery Plan Outline” for the procedures for cleaning up Kuwait, including depleted uranium, for Kellogg, Brown and Root (KBR), a subsidiary of Halliburton.

    The contract/proposal was passed through Madeleine Albright, the Secretary of State, to the Emirate of Kuwait, who considered the terms and then hired KBR for the cleanup.

    It is within reason, that we as morel and concoius individuals, remeber that Nuclear Bombs as made from enriched radioactive materials have only been used twice, both by the US, over sixty years ago in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. They caused catastrophic destruction and suffering of victums on an uncomprehendable scale .

    At precisly quarter past eight, every day, in Hiroshima, the city clock strikes! It is an apeal to Humanity, resounding the crys of alarm and horror which filled the air. At a memoreal at the inscriptune reads “Rest in peace, The mistake will not be Reapeated” This appeal to Humanity is made by the City which first became the victum of the A- Bomb.

    On the morning of the 6 of August, 1945, above the blue skys, Hiroshima was left hung under a decending atomic death, from a bomb hatch of a US flying fortress.

    Three days later On August the 9, 1945, an atomic whirlwind swept through Nagasaki, when another nuclear bomb was unleashed. Within a matter of seconds from both attacks, the cities were turned into hot Ash.

    Both cities became citys of Death as evan those who remained survived the exploshion, continued to dye from radiation poisoning from radioactive dust particules in the sky, contaminated food and water surplys.

    A eyewitness and Doctor of the catastrophic events in Nagasaki, a Professor Ichimura, described what hapened after the bomb fell. “I tried to get to my medical school in Urakium which was 500 metres from the epicentre of the explosion. People who had come from Urakami were coming towards me. They resembled apparitions with their vacent expressions… pieces of skin were hanging from their bodies. I managed to reach Urakami the following day. Everything that had been there before had vanished from the face of the Earth. There remained only the ferro- cocrete skeletons of a few buildings. Human corpses lay everywhere. Water barrels stood on every street corner for extinguishing fires after air raids. In one small barrel… was found the body of a man who had been driven to despair in his attempts to find cold water. Foam was oozing from his mouth but he was already dead… When I Arived, some people were still alive but no one could move. The strongest among them were so weak that they seamed transfixed to the ground. I spoke to them, they expressed the hope that they could be treated but they all died within two weaks…’

    People continued to dye from radiation sickness, manny years after the bombs were droped. People died from Leukemia and varies other types of Cancer. Many people also slowly whent blind. Pregnet women were statistaly; twice as likely to have a stillbirths, Japanease reasearch found. This was the case for up to two or three years after the bombs. For the first eight years after the explosion, more children were born with deformities and handicaps. Still To this very day, the Children and Grandchildren of those few who survived the atomik blast and could still have children our still dying of Leukemia.

    Despite Over six decades having passed since those horific events, our feeling of compasion, fear, guilt over the use of Nuclear weapons has not left us. On the contorary, we as humans have experianced and aquired a more whole understaning of what such tragedies mean. This is not in most probalillity not merely because it is dificult to comprehend that only a few iriversible minuites may be the only time befrore one mad decision and the annihilation of humanitee, by weapons made by humans.

    There has been many International diplomatic efforts to incorage the disarment of Nuclear weapons and Ban the testing of them. Efforts to curtail tests of have wisely been made since the 1940s. In the 1950s, the United States and Soviet Union conducted hundreds of hydrogen bomb tests. The radioactive fallout from these tests spurred worldwide protests. These pressures, plus a desire to reduce U.S.-Soviet confrontation after the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, led to the Limited Test Ban Treaty of 1963, which banned nuclear explosions in the atmosphere, in space, and under water. The Threshold Test Ban Treaty, signed in 1974, banned underground nuclear weapons tests having an explosive force of more than 150 kilotons, the equivalent of 150,000 tons of TNT, ten times the force of the Hiroshima bomb.

    The Peaceful Nuclear Explosions Treaty, signed in 1976, extended the 150-kiloton limit to nuclear explosions for peaceful purposes. President Carter did not pursue ratification of these treaties, preferring to negotiate a comprehensive test ban treaty, or CTBT, a ban on all nuclear explosions.

    When agreement seemed near, however, he pulled back, bowing to arguments that continued testing was needed to maintain reliability of existing weapons, to develop new weapons, and for other purposes. President Reagan raised concerns about U.S. ability to monitor the two unrastafied treaties and late in his term started negotiations on new verification protocols. These two treaties were ratified in 1990.

    With the end of the Cold War, the need for improved warheads dropped and pressures for a CTBT grew. The U.S.S.R. and France began nuclear test moratoria in October 1990 and April 1992, respectively. In early 1992, many in Congress favored a one-year test moratorium. The effort led to the Hatfield amendment to the FY1993 Energy and Water Development Appropriations Bill, which banned testing before July 1, 1993, set conditions on a resumption of testing, banned testing after September 1996 unless another nation tested, and required the President to report to Congress annually on a plan to achieve a CTBT by September 30, 1996. President Bush signed the bill into law (P.L. 102-377) October 2, 1992.

    The CTBT was negotiated in the Conference on Disarmament. It was adopted by the U.N. General Assembly on September 10, 1996, and was opened for signature on September 24, 1996. As of June 21, 2006, 176 states had signed it and 132 had ratified Large quantities of tritium have been released from the treteroise and diabolical and dangorase manufacturing and testing of nuclear weapons.

    The Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization is scheduled to hold its 26th session June 20-23. On March 10, Vietnam became the 132nd nation to ratify the CTBT.

    On February 23, the United States and United Kingdom jointly conducted a subcritical experiment at the Nevada Test Site. On December 22, 2005, an Indian government official said, “India has stated that it will not stand in the way of the Entry into Force of the [Comprehensive Test Ban] Treaty.” On December 8, the U.N. General Assembly adopted, 168-2, a resolution sponsored by Japan, “Renewed Determination Towards the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons,” that, among other things, urged nations to ratify the CTBT and continue nuclear test moratoria. The fourth conference on facilitating CTBT entry into force was held September 21-23 at U.N.

    Supporters of the CTBT, which is contentious in its efforts, argue it would fulfill disarmament commitments the nuclear weapon states made in the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and its 1995 Review and Extension Conference; end a discriminatory regime in which nuclear weapon states can test while others cannot; and aid nonproliferation by preventing nonnuclear weapon states from developing nuclear weapons of advanced design. Some supporters hold a CTBT would freeze a U.S. advantage in nuclear weaponry and that the stockpile stewardship program can maintain U.S. weapons without testing. A CTBT, it is argued, would also prevent the development of weapons of advanced design by the P5, reducing future threats to the United States, and impede India’s ability to develop a thermonuclear weapon. Critics see testing as the one sure way to maintain confidence in the reliability and safety of U.S. nuclear weapons. They contend that if friends and allies doubt U.S. nuclear capability, they might feel compelled to develop their own nuclear weapons. Some opponents believe that a CTBT would undercut confidence in the U.S. deterrent, increasing the incentive for rogue states to obtain nuclear weapons. Critics also charge that nations wanting to develop nuclear weapons would likely not sign a CTBT and in any event could develop fairly sophisticated weapons without testing; that verification would be difficult.

    Britain has fallen short of its International, diplomatic comitment and responsibility in impermenting the 1970 Nuclear Proliferation Treaty, despite the then UK Foregign office minister, Rt. Hon Peter Hain, MP, telling the 2000 NPT Review Conference that ” The United Kingdom is practising what we preach. We are uneqivocally comited to the pursiut of Nuclear Disarment. We are convinced that the NPT remains fundermental to achieving this goal”.

    Since the 2000 NPT Review Conference, the Brittish Goverment seems to have seems fallen short of its obligations under the 1970 Nuclear Proliferation Treaty by allowing the US to use the Flyingdales comunications centre as an intregal part of the US missile defence system and the UK Goverment has failed to reduce the operational statys of its nuclear weapons systems, as agreed at the 200 NPT conferance, in removing nuclear warheads from delivery systems and de-alerting.

    Trident repacement would seriously discredit any UK Goverment claims that it is contributing to International Nuclear disarmament. We will all only be free from nuclear annilation when all countrys agree to the Global abolition of nuclear weapons. The Trident system of the UK is belived to be composed of four nuclear ared submarines, each capable of carying upto 48 nuclear warheads.each warhead has the ability to be individualy targeted and just one trident warhead has an explosive power of upto 100 kilotons, that is eight times the power of the Hiroshima bomb.

    The repacement of such nuclear weopons systems as Trident, increases the threat of a Nuclear weopons being used against civilians in a War. The replacement of trident also sends out the wrong message to other nuclear-states around the world and an unethical and ultimatly unsustainable dangourse legacy.

    The replasement of Trident would as well as puting thousands of people at risk from the constuction, transportation and storage of radiocative materials, increasing the risk of the exposure of radioctive particles in the atmospheare. Trident would cost Tens-of-Billions of pounds, money that would be better off spent on improving lifes such as, Healthcare, tacking poverty , education and protecting the enviroments such as our Oceans and Rainforrests and finding less harmfull, destructive and dangourise alternitive energy to meet the future needs, not playing a dangourise dice game, exploiting uranium from the ground, creating stockpiles of nuclear arsons round the world, Polluting our enviroments with the waste from nucleare energy disharges to our Oceans and atmospheares and storing and transporting Dangourise quantitiese of Radioactive waste.

    It is also disturbing to learn that the UK is the only Goverment, apart from the USA, which has used depleated uranium munitions in battle. The use of suposed acurate though, unpersificaly confined, armour percing DU’s (depleated uranium Warheads) used in the Gulf wars of 1991 and 2003 has led to many populated areas being contaminated with the fine particules of uranium oxide dust. Like arsenic and lead, uranium is a heavey metal. The chemical hazards should be beyond dispute as demonstrated in chemical toxicity from labouritory studies, though little is data is known on enviromental exposure, partly to collecting data in warzones and poor post-conlfict administations.

    It is how ever though that about 370 tonnes of DU were used by the US and UK in the 1991 Gulf war and some estermated amount, in excess of 1000 tonnes of depleated uranium used from the 2003 invasion. The UK ared forces has admitted to fireing 370 DU challanger rouns in Iraq during the 2003 land battle. A further 504 rounds were acordingly fired in kuwait.

    The UK military, despite little known about the long term enviromental and biological consequencies of Depleted uranium of those contaminated in effected zones, has spent 4bn pounds on a new attack fleet of Apache AH MK1 helicopters. These helicopters which both the Isralies and the US use, are capable of fireing 625 30mm DU shels per miniute.

    In Urban and effected areas of Iraq, where children play, there are children dying of leukaemia from aries where DU weapons were fired. There has been an increase in still births in woman and sterilastion in men. Babies have been born to Iraqi mothers with disturbing deformitess and malfunctions ontop of the unessarsary suffering caused by these conflicts.

    Headquarters in New York. Worlwide, nuclear weapons manufacturing up until recently, released 2.8×106 TBq/a. Testing of nuclear weapons, in particular from 1954 to 1962, realeased 2.8×10 TBq/a. Testing of nuclear weapons, in particular from 1954 to 1962, realesed even larger amounts into the atmosphere acording to a report by the united Nations scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) put the figures at 1.6 x 10 TBq.

    The N u c l e a r In d u s t r i e

    The manufactoring, runing and maintanance of Nuclear Energy is a very risky buisnes!!! Acidents do hapen, Not just in the runing and maintanance of a Nuclear Power Station but also in the transportation of Radioactive Waste.

    Dangers:

    Radioactive Waste, Pollution and biological effects.
    Nuclear Weapons .
    Nuclear Waste, storage.

    Radioactive Waste, Pollution and biological effects.

    Uranium mining is the beginning of the nuclear chain. Without the mines we would not be able to produce the devastating weapons, the unsafe power or the long-lived radioactive waste. Therefore, many people working against the nuclear industry choose to focus their energy on uranium mining.

    Sadly the Nuclear Industrie has destoyed many a liverlyhood, ecology, enviroments and lifes. A tailing pond in Jadugoda, Bihar State in India, the tailings pond from a uranium mine dried out and caused radioactive dust to contaminate a whole village, leaving a toll of miscarriagiages, cancers, neral disorders and deformed children. A uranium mine and enrichment plant in Sillimae, across the bay from finland, the USSR has now closed down since 10per cent of some 4000 children suffered hair loss, while 30 per cent are suffering skin disorders, as well as nerve damage, blood and intestinal disorders.

    Following the Chernobyl incerdent, cancer rates of the popultion have increased from 204 per 100,000 between 1976 and 1980 to 344 per 100,000 between 1986 and 1989, that is a 70 per cent increase. More than 2000 children have damaged thyroids. Of the 600,000 people who were brought in fo the clean up operation, some 7000 have already died.

    (^Uranium:Do leave it in the ground! The Ecologist, vol 20, no 5, September/October 1990=facts from).

    The environmental impacts of uranium mining are numerous. The problems start as early as mineral exploration and continue well past the closing of a mine. Exploration for uranium can cause problems, such as dispossession of indigenous people, that are eclipsed by concerns if permission to mine is granted. Once a mine is functional, the operations must be monitored closely for environmental integrity, including the disposal of the “waste” created through the mining process— tailings. Tailings can be harmful and hard to monitor or isolate effectively. As an estimated 70% of uranium deposits throughout the world are located on indigenous people’s lands. Workers are also faced with the risk of exposure from radiation from the mining of uranium to the manufacturing of weapons and nuclear power, workers are faced with the risk of exposure to radiation.

    Regratabaly, the Nuclear industrie polluts radioactive contaminated waste through the use of radioactive materials, from the catastrophic and long damaging effects of mining uraniam, to the risky busienes of transporting radioactive materials over land sea or air. The continuosie dishcarge of radioctive gas and radioctive substances pumped into our waterways, rivers, eausteries and seas, to the high levals of waste that just alone pollute our occans and and enviroments from the creation of nuclear arms alone, not to mention their destructive catastrophic pertential for life on earth.

    Nuclear Power stations them selfs, apart from disharging continuasly throgh there working time thousand of litres radioactive gas into our atmosphears and radioactive discharge into the seas, they having served their 30 year working life span, to cost of billions of pouds to tax payer and having polluted and contaminated effected organasamams and enviroments and possed an evan greater risk to life, in the outcome of an acident or a malfuction, reaction chambers as situated inside nuclear power stations will remain dangourasly radioactive for over 30,000,0000 years, at more danger and expense to citerzens.

    The cost of cleaning up Britain’s nuclear sites could have soared to £70 billion, the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority revealed today. Virtually all of this will have to be paid for by the taxpayer. Friends of the Earth said that the latest figures – a £14 billion increase on previous estimates – highlighted the economic insanity of nuclear power, and called on the Government to reject a new building programme of nuclear reactors and invest in renewable energy and energy efficiency instead.

    All Nuclear plants discharge the alpha-emitting, actinides, namely – the plutoniums, amercium and curium. Nuclear instalations, are responsable for by far too, the greatest source of of tritium in the enviroment, though tritium, a radiocative type of hydrogen, does occur natrauly, as a result of the cosmic rays of the earths atmosphear. The emissions from just cival Nuclear reactors alone is now thought to be equal to that of natraul sources. It is thought that aproximatly 7.4×104 terabecquerel is released a year in emissions from nuclear facilities in Western industrializsed countrys. One terabequal being equal to 10 becquerels. Evan larger quantities of tritium have been released from the treteroise and diabolical and dangorase manufacturing and testing of nuclear weapons.

    All Nuclear reactors emit tritium from their fuel elements, as a by-product from the fission of Uranium and plutonium. Advanced Gas Reactors (AGRs), disharge larger amounts of tritium than from other reactors in Britton. Tritium does not readily diffuse through the magnox and zircalloy fuel clading of Magnox and Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs), though it difuses readily through the stainless steel cladding of AGRs.

    With both Magnox and (AGRs), the main activation source is lithium impurities in the graphite moderators. Nuclear reactors also produce tritium from the neutron activation of deuterium, lithium and boron in the moderator, coolant and control rods.

    Sadly, still larger Large quantities of tritium have been released from the treteroise, diabolical and dangorase manufacturing and testing of nuclear weapons. Tritium is a beta-emitting nuclide.

    In the US, two massive nuclear weapons plants, one at Savannah River and the other at Hanford, when they were both working, released some 1.1×10 5 TBq/a alone! That is ten times more than the combined emisisions of all the wests cival nuclear power stations.

    In the UK, the largest tritium emisissions to the atmospheare are from the Chaplecross plant in Drumfriesshire, scotland, which makes tritium for nuclear weapons. Chaplecross nuclear Power Station in Dumfriesshire, Scotland, emits more than three times as much tritium into the atmospheare as any other UK plant. It produces tritium for nuclear weapons. The British Goverment, were keeping quite until recently about a wepons factourire in near Bridgewater, in Somerset, which was realeasing tritium into the River Severn.

    Other major sources of tritium are the Sellafield reprossing plant in Cumbria and Nuclear weapon and production facilites. Sellafield regretably, has nade a significant contibution to the Radioactivity of Brittish waters, with its fingerprint being able to be detected along the Irish Sea, to as far away as Blackwater Estuary in Essex and is even detectable as far Scandinavia.

    Both Glocstershire and Hinkly point Nuclear Power station to sit on the River Severn and have undoutedly pouluted the River Severn, to the extent that people can Now view satalite the Radioactive Ses’s Pools of Brittons Nuclear Waste, as it seeps into our surrounding coastlines, favorite beaches and wildlife estuaries.

    You too, can view this visable radiation, at “google Local” at: http://www.google.co.uk/lochp?hl=en In Google Local. simply click the Satalite button next to the map and you can View for your self the Glowing radio-active discharges of the Nuclear Industrie legacie, as indeed, you can in the dark, gfrom the discharges visible behind any nuclear plant which spews out radiated radioactive warter, which is used to cool and dispearse radition and heat at nuclear plants.

    Tritium discharges from nuclear facilities genraly occur in two ways; Tritium gas (HT), and tritilated water (HTO). Tritilated gas (HT), in it elemental form is both invisible and oderles and pervasive. (HT) is able to radiate through most materials, including ruber and most grades of steel.

    Tritilated water (HTO), is more hazardouse than (HT) because it is chemicaly identical to water, it difuses rapidly through the hydrospheare and biospheare. Tritilated gas is converted to tritilated water in dry indoor conditions at a rate of about one percent a hour, although the more humid the conditions, the faster this conversion.

    People who live downwind of of Nuclear Power Stations can thus be expected to to be tritilated by rain fall by an above normal leval.

    The exposure of tritium to organisams, can lead to considerable damage to the DNA macromolecule. Dew to the very weakness of Tritium, having a decay range of about 0.6 micrometres, which is less than the human chromosome. For example, if Tritium radiaties to a chromosome in cell nuclei, it deposits all it energy within the chromosome, because of its relertiverly small range.

    Studys conducted indicate that tritium from tritilated foods, finds its way into the DNA, rather than other nuclei. Other studys indicate that dew to tritiums magnetic resonance, it may be taken up by DNA’s water hydration.

    Fortunatly for the future wellbeing of the planet and our health , the ingnorent, unacounted and reckless legasie of dumping radioactive waste at Sea is now moitered. Regretably though, previously unmoniterd and dangorously high radioactive waste has been discarded to our Oceans, environments and in effect our food chian and ecology. Regretabaly though, from the niave, recless and dangourousley inconsiderate mistakes of the past in the beurocatic plunders of ignorance, half sighnt and lack of responsibility, both plutonium-241 and amercium-241 were dumped at Sea before the mid eighties in unlimited and unquantified amounts.

    Plutonium-241 is a beta-emitting nuclide. Plutonium decays to produce Americium-241. Americium-241, is both betta and alpha emitting. Americium-241 is considerd 2.5 times more dangourase than Plutonium-241, which is dangourise in its own wright. Amercium has been found to acumilating in easterial silts and marine sediments and within living organisams. Dew to the mobility and uptake of magnetic resonance of Americium, it is particularly prone to being incorperated into Seaspray, and so therfore transferd back to land. Biological and ecological evidane from field samples of percifical the marine ecology, have foud that Amercium-241 builds up in the marine enviroment, also contributed to from the decay of Plutonium-241, from the Nuclear Industries historicaly dim whitted half sunk reckles disputed legacie.

    BNF (Brittish Nuclear Fuels), have previously dumped radioactive bitumen, like that found in pipe line lining and radioactive stainless steel from fuel pins and reactor cores, which alarmingly are not audeted in officiol calculations for liquid radioactive wastes! As were neither such contaminated work gloves. This practise of though at least now at least subjet to sum moratium.

    It was hypothisised by scientists that the the decay of plutonium in the irish sea would be 1,300 curies a year. The large radioactive leak of crud into the Irish Sea, that greanpeace were horified to learn had gon unditected for a while in 1983, dew to a leak in the sellafield pipeline, which is thought to have spewed out some 550,000 curries alone!

    There are other unquantified inputs of man-made radioactivity into our Occeans such as nuclear powerd vessels. The hazardouse pursuit of cargos of radioactive waste, have also been lost at sea. There are also unacounted other non nuclear sites that produce radioactive by products which disturbingly have been dumped at sea in the past. The Chernabyl plume is thought to having might have deposited to some 20,250 curies of radiation into the irish Sea aswell. There was recordably a 100=fold increase in the radiation of Irish shellfish around 1986.

    Still though sum corupted Goverments insist that Nuclear energy is the way forward for the future, when they cant even clean up its past.

    The Nuclear authouritie would have us belive that the majoritie of the population and certonly people situwated around the coasts are not breathing in potentialy significanty high doses radioactivity, dew to the hydration and uptake of radioactive pollution, which is suseptable to being transfererd back to our coasts on fine sediments, silts and the surface vapours of our costs, particularly in high winds. The nuclear Authourities also insist that the only pathway to ingestion of seaborne radioactivity is through the consumption of seafood, despite of growing everdence that atmospheric and sea to land transfer is possibly contaminating crops, even with more than a 10 mile inland from the UK coast lands.

    Radioactive sederments have been found when stormy weather has breached sea deffenceis and hundreds of tones of marine sediment were deposited around the streets and houses of Towyn in North Wales. out of 14 samples of sediment anylized, eight were found to contain actinides which were thought to have been largly realeased from selerfeild, were found to be ten times the officiol leval which warrents further investigation.

    Unfourtunatly dew to the Nuclear industrie, Casium enterd the marine enviroment fromwepons test fallouts, accidents and gasuase and ligqid disharges from nuclear facilities. Casium, has a slight advantage over tritium in that it is easer and cheaper to monitor. Moitoring Authourities and indipedent research has shown how caesium reconcentrates in the marine food chain and in estuarie and marine sediments.

    Caesium reconcentrates in muscle tissue and the reproductive organs. Mamalian studies show how caesium is transferd from mother to baby, who in prior to weaning, show higher build up of caesium, despite shorter exposure time.

    caesium, which has been found inland in south wales and even further inland in Cumbria, may be the result of Microlayering, in which the thousandth of a millimitre of sea surface becomes enriched with a fine sedimentorary particules. Microlayerin results in aerosoling which aloows for the transfer of radioactive materials from sea to air by the nataraul prosesies like evaporation and wave breaking. The enrichment factours of seawater to air, aerosoling, are thought to be enormase! With the maximum factor of such a recorded enrichment of aerosoles being of 10km, off the pipeline of sellafield. The breaking of waves along the coasts has been obserbed to produce aerosoles of 812 americium.

    Samples of brittish sea water have been taken to analize for alpha radiation. It has been found that plutonium an americium are absorbed and bonded to sedimentorary particules, suspended in the water colum, somtimes a thousndth of a milimetyre of the surface. Heavier particules pressumablie fall eventualy to the bottem of the sea bed, where despite being subject to disturbancies, may remain reliterverly concitrated for some time. Mineral-fluid partition coefficients can be used to calculate bulk eclogite- and lherzolite-fluid partition coefficients as a means to assess both the trace element composition of fluids that maybe a product of dehydration of the oceanic crust and the effect of the subarc mantle on trace element fractionation during fluid fow. Results of this assessment have allowed us to provide fresh insight into certain longstanding problems related to the geochemistry of convergent margin magmas, such as their relative depletion in Nb, high Ce/Pb ratios, excesses in [238U] relative to [230Th] and the effects of fluid vs. melt metasomatism. In addition, our results afford the opportunity to evaluate the composition of material returned to the, deep mantle during
    subduction, which in turn provides constraints on geodynamic models concerning the fate of
    subducted oceanic crust.

    Nuclear comissioning authourities have previously sugested half sightly that Actinides, from the radioactive discharge to sea from Nuclear Power Stations would be traped in the sediments off the end of discharge piplines. Though as it emerged with the windscale inquiry, formaly know as, to which now is sellafield, the radioactive contaminated sediments of discharge pipes were subjected to a variety of phenominamam such as trawling, dregding and even Earth Quakes!

    Nuclear weapons may kill any one, Women or Man, hermaphrodite or child, black or white, of any culter, they are undeterminable as to who they destroy, so I say if you wish to peacefully protest against the evil arms trade, then do so while you still can.

    After all, I doubt wether us peacfull protesters would be invited to a Nuclear Fall Out Bunker, nor would much of our housing estate. Who’d whant to live with such scum who couldnt see the wonder of life antway!)

    If Peaple whant, why don’t they make up there own camp, or bring there own banners, paint, stalls and music! Why? Well you might as well, before you need a licence to breath!

    if I still lived in Reading I would definitely check this out

    some of the younger ones here may not remember living under threat of real nuclear war, but TBH there has really been no progress since the 1980s and the threat has arisen again as recently Russia and USA have been arguing about missile defence

    the whole nuclear thing is worrying when you look into it

    everywhere I have lived there is some sort of nuclear activity; in SE London the trains carrying radioactive material from Dungeness NPP went past where I used to live, in Reading I lived in the shadow of Greenham Common and Aldermaston/Burghfield which are still active nuclear sites

    Even here in East Anglia I am near the Sizewell nuclear power plant, although it generates electric and people don’t like to criticise it as it provides jobs, the waste is dangerous and has to be transported back through Suffolk, Essex, London and then to Scotland – and a lot of NPPs were designed to make material for bombs as well as peaceful purposes..
