EPA New Radiation Guidelines Apr 16, 2011 7:17pm by Elle D'Coda in Health If it goes through, one glass of water would equal a life-time's exposure!! And be called "safe". Amplify’d from www.peer.org Washington, DC — A plan awaiting approval by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that would dramatically increase permissible radioactive releases in drinking water, food and soil after “radiological incidents” is drawing vigorous objections from agency experts, according to agency documents released today by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER). At issue is the acceptable level of public health risk following a radiation release, whether an accidental spill or a “dirty bomb” attack.
The internal documents show that under the updated PAG a single glass of water could give a lifetime’s permissible exposure. In addition, it would allow long-term cleanup limits thousands of times more lax than anything EPA has ever before accepted. These new limits would cause a cancer in as much as every fourth person exposed.
“This critical debate is taking place entirely behind closed doors because this plan is ‘guidance’ and does not require public notice as a regulation would,” stated PEER Counsel Christine Erickson.

Sorry to be off topic for just a sec.....
Hey Aeons, my great uncle was also a Capone croney/assasin! He tried to escape and hide but they eventually caught up to him and let's just say the gas transport truck he was driving for a living 'accidentally' blew up with him in it.
Any chance we are related? All of my family is from Illinois although like you I am long distanced from them since youth.
ON TOPIC - We were living on the west coast until a month ago and I could just not stand knowing that my children were being radiated every day of their lives so we moved far away to escape the population control plan.
I just hope we got far enough away, I'm not sure any place in the world is going to be safe enough from this unprecedented catastrophe.
That's nuts, especially since there's no evidence there is any increased risk to anyone in the United States.

Not the only reason we bugged out. 'Global Financial Meltdown'......coming soon to a city near you!
We're in a place where money is not really necessary to survive and I can protect my family without fear of predation.
Thanks for worrying about me tho.

Stressing a healthy system and making it respond actually makes it healthier, unless you over do it.
Maybe this will help us all live longer?

No other energy source is going to kill you with one inhaled particle. That's all I have to say....

there's a positive outlook though
those who survive won't reproduce either...
hmmm, now who else would see this as a win/win situation...edit on 20/6/11 by AnotherYOU because: (no reason given)

The truth sometimes not hard to find you just have to know how to use google.

There are many other stories about the levels of radiation now being found in milk and other food products.

That's just inaccurate, if one particle is going to kill you, you should probably stop breathing now. That radon in your house probably isn't so good for you...

first of all i like the way you tried to make a hot plutonium particle seem "everyday" radon exposure
/sarcasm off

the either willfull or ignorant difference between a radon gas particle and a particlate of expended nuclear fuel is like compairing
apples and testicles
A plutonium particle? Is this a joke? If you mean an electron thrown off by a plutonium ATOM, then you are somewhat correct. Regardless, the fact that one particle won't kill you remains.

do you subscribe to nuclear power as very safe?
or inherently dangerous
or maby

There is NO SAFE AMOUNT OF RADIATION.
Actually one of my Physics teachers had a University Study posted on his door. They gave lethal doses of radiation to rats and of course the rats died. So they spread it out over a few weeks and the rats got sick, mutated and died. So they spread it out over a full year, the rats metabolism changed, and they got larger and lived longer than their counterparts! All the same dose of radiation, just the amount of time it was administered changed! A lethal dose of radiation can make you healthier and live longer if it is administered properly, LOL!
They repeated the study with other types of poisons and got similar results. Stressing a healthy system and making it respond actually makes it healthier, unless you over do it.
Maybe this will help us all live longer?
Can I get some super powers with that too? That'd be awesome. I have mine all picked out. I want to be able to walk on the Sun.
