I estimate that the toll from fatuous posts made to usenet may be about
100,000 deaths. Obviously you're now a prime candidate for early demise.

The WHO estimate is based upon the number of people who suffered from
thyroid cancer as a direct result of exposure to radiation. While all
but nine recovered, the probability is that the majority will have a
reduced life expectancy. However, the real point was that, even
including the highest number of deaths that anyone can come up with,
nuclear power still comes out as by far the safest form of energy.

In the latest New Scientist there's an article about the effect of
radiation on health. Well worth reading. In summary single large doses
are invariably bad for you. Slightly smaller doses spaced out to allow
the cells to recover (as in radio-therapy) need not be bad. Lower level
up to about 1000 times current 'safe levels' seem to do little or no
harm. Our cells have evolved with an ability to recover from background
and cosmic radiation. Once the initial high levels of radiation fell
away in Nagasaki the population actually turned out to have only
slightly higher levels of illness than similar cities elsewhere in Japan.

Better get your lead underwear on, then. You're exposed to radiation all
the time. Hmmm. cosmic-ray levels are quite high at 30k ft, so all
flying is out, better not go anywhere where there's granite (lots of
radium) or near any coal fired power station (1 part per million of
uranium in coal, lots of Radon emitted).


No place to hide, really, for you :-)

-Quite right. *Why do you suppose there has always been people died of

-The more you get, the greater chance of getting cancer.

May I suggest that chemical mutagens in the environment - for example
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heterocyclic amines which are produced
when cooking meat (or fish) - may have some small input. *Historically
people have tended to die of infectious disease before cancers have had a
chance to get going. *Personally I would rather take a chance of cancer at
70+ than TB at 35.

You say above "No level of radiation exposure is safe." *If it would not be
too taxing I wonder if you could enlighten us all with the definition of
'safe' that you would like to use. *I suspect that you are going to be
missing out on all of the acoutriments of modern (and most historic ones
too) life if you wish to insist on perfect safety - certainly you won't want
to use any form of transport or medicine.

It's best to avoid unnecessary dangers. Why do you suppose asbestos is
being removed from the environment? It's because it's an unnessary
hazard.
In the case of medicines all have adverse as well as good effects.
It's a case of balance.

Er No.

The NS has been consistently anti nuclear and greenie as long as I gave
uop reading it.

That was why I was surprised to see the article there.

Of course its written by someone else, who happens to be a professor of
nuclear something.

There you go. Shouting off your big mouth again on topics you have no
understanding of.

On the contrary, that link does not support the statements you make. but
then, you don't know any science. So you must think it does.

LNT is the current way that *safety standards are established*. That
doesn't make it true, and indeed only second rate scientists with axes
to grind have ever claimed that it was. Its a *worst case assumption*,
and as such, is highly suitable for safety standards. . The whole point
of the NS article was to point out that LNT is not supported by the
actual evidence.

Better get your lead underwear on, then. You're exposed to radiation

flying is out, better not go anywhere where there's granite (lots of

-Quite right. Why do you suppose there has always been people died of
-cancer?
-The more you get, the greater chance of getting cancer.

May I suggest that chemical mutagens in the environment - for example
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heterocyclic amines which are
produced
when cooking meat (or fish) - may have some small input. Historically
people have tended to die of infectious disease before cancers have had a
chance to get going. Personally I would rather take a chance of cancer
at
70+ than TB at 35.

You say above "No level of radiation exposure is safe." If it would not
be
too taxing I wonder if you could enlighten us all with the definition of
'safe' that you would like to use. I suspect that you are going to be
missing out on all of the acoutriments of modern (and most historic ones
too) life if you wish to insist on perfect safety - certainly you won't
want
to use any form of transport or medicine.

It's best to avoid unnecessary dangers. Why do you suppose asbestos is
being removed from the environment? It's because it's an unnessary
hazard.
In the case of medicines all have adverse as well as good effects.
It's a case of balance.
I fly fairly regularly but I don't use a skateboard.


Very wise. Most don't have wings, and it's hard to get them up to enough
speed to fly. No, you stick with using an aeroplane for flying - makes much
more sense ... :-)

In the latest New Scientist there's an article about the effect of
radiation on health. Well worth reading. In summary single large
doses
are invariably bad for you. Slightly smaller doses spaced out to
allow
the cells to recover (as in radio-therapy) need not be bad. Lower
level
up to about 1000 times current 'safe levels' seem to do little or
no
harm. Our cells have evolved with an ability to recover from
background
and cosmic radiation. Once the initial high levels of radiation
fell
away in Nagasaki the population actually turned out to have only
slightly higher levels of illness than similar cities elsewhere in
Japan.

The more you get, the greater chance of getting cancer.


The greatest cause of cancer is the oxygen you breathe.It is carefully
transported around the body and delivered to your cells where combustion
takes place, and energy is produced. Some of the by product of this is
oxygen radicals that are *highly* reactive chemically and attack your
DNA. This causes damage. Fortunately all cells have repair mechanisms
that fix this damage up, continually. Above a certain level of damage,
however, these mechanisms can't cope. And for reasons I won't go into,
this gets worse as you get older.

Radiation splits up water molecules and produces the same sort of oxygen
radicals, which is why the damage is similar. Below a certain radiation
level, the body copes. Above it, it can't. That's why Linear no
Threshold is cobblers.

Not quite correct, SCIENTIFIC theories are refutable hypotheses.

When they fail to be refuted often enough, they become what third rate
people call 'scientific fact'. However there are no scientific facts,
only more or less refuted hypotheses, In this case LNT is well on the
way to being refuted.

Another hypothesis here says the exact opposite.

Another one here casts doubt on the whole idea.

So there you have it

plenty of viable hypotheses, no definitive theory yet by your own
admission

and you seem to be ignoring what is becoming increasingly apparent -
that there are numerous causes of the various cancers that exist.

E.g. Prostate cancer which seems to be genetic in when it happens, but
that it will eventually happen is almost certain. Wanking also has shown
to postpone the onset of prostate cancer - should keep you safe

What about the innoculation program for young girls to reduce the risk
of uterine cancer, which is considered to be caused by a virus

melanomas - UV radiation, not really the same as the radioactivity you
were referring to, is it?


Etc etc

What do you mean by "voluntary taxpayer"?

Tim

"That excessive bail ought not to be required, nor excessive fines
imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted" -- Bill of
Rights 1689


A voluntary taxpayer is a person who donates money voluntarily to the
gov.
Like lottery tickets, speeding fines and parking tickets.
Most of the donors, for some baffling reason, seem to be people least
able to afford it.


Thats me then. I smoke (lots of tax), I drink (lots of tax), I drive (lots
of tax) and I gamble (very little tax).

We've got lots of endangered birds in NZ, like the Kiwi, Weka and Moa.
I think they are all quite safe from those nasty wind turbines

I would interested to know where I can see a Moa.

Harry - in a 40 mph zone, how fast do you drive ?

When my mother passed her IAM test, I realised that there was very
little point.

I have no wish to become a voluntary taxpayer.


Yet you drive, you worked (FSVO) and you buy goods.

i have never had a speeding or parking ticket

Got a link for that?

Cant find it on the new scientist site.




New Scientist dated 31 July 2010 P24 'Who's afraid of radiation?'

Haven't looked on the web site.
