Dr. Helen Caldicott - The Truth About Fukushima


Fukushima means more cancers.  There is no way around that.

From the book by Ken Keyes, Jr. - The Hundredth Monkey, 1989 Edition - Cancer and increased radiation.  

page 39  "Dr. Helen Caldicott writes: As a physician, I contend that nuclear technology threatens life on our planet with extinction.  If present trends continue, the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink will soon be contaminated with enough radioactive pollutants to pose a potential health hazard far greater than any plaque humanity has ever experienced.  Unknowingly exposed to these radioactive poisons, some of us may be developing cancer right now.  Others may be passing damaged genes, the basic chemical units which transmit hereditary characteristics, to future generations.  And more of us will inevitably be affected unless we bring about a drastic reversal of our government's pronuclear policies.*"

*Book referenced Nuclear Madness, by Dr. Helen Caldicott copyright 1978.

Just about everything in that non-copywritten book that is written about nuclear war can be applied to nuclear energy.
