[NukeNet] (Resend) - Many False Beliefs in Nuclear Power Remains!

[The Roy Process]

NukeNet:

The current "big lie", that 
nuclear power is "clean and
 green", is answered by Dr. 
Helen Caldicott's new book,
Nuclear Power is Not the 
Answer. 

Nuclear power produces
 green house gases and will
not stop global warming
according to studies.

Spent fuel for weapons is 
the aim of nuclear power, 
not electricity. It is more
 radioactive after irradiation
 than going in as fresh fuel.
 The need for 5 years 
of cooling ponds is obvious.
 It is the heat that makes
steam which drives the 
electric turbines. There are
 non-toxic ways to make 
electricity.

Depleted uranium is "depleted" 
of weapons material, medical,
 and etc. DU remains lethally 
radioactive when exploded. DU 
causes many diseases and
 birth defects according to reports.
 If a foreign power tainted your
 DNA with a "dirty bomb" that is 
multi-generational, invisible,
 contaminates your air, food 
and water, what would you do?
DU is illegal under the Geneva 
War Convention.

There were 528 atmospheric
 atom bomb "tests" as of 1996 
according to a Brookings Institute
 book. Over 100 atom bombs 
in Nevada alone. Most of the
 resultant world wide atmospheric
 contamination is DU and remains
 lethal for 4.5 billion years. It is still
 floating around up there from
 the 50's and 60's. We are all
 contaminated.

----------------------

United States:  215 atmospheric
 tests  + 815 underground tests
 = 1,030

USSR:  219 atmospheric tests 
+ 496 underground tests = 715

UK:  21 atmospheric tests 
+ 24 underground tests = 45

France:  50 atmospheric tests 
+ 160 underground tests = 210

China:  23 atmospheric tests 
+ 22 underground tests = 45

The grand total of global 
atmospheric tests = 528
