A video they won't want you to see (Galen Winsor: nuclear scare scam)

[ljwheat]

Also about the radiated water gushing into the ocean from Japan.. I have been drinking radiated water now for over a year. (no side effects) it takes at least 8 hours to charge a gallon , but once the source of the radiated water is removed it only take 3 hours for it to revert back to its normal state. And that’s if its not diluted, as it is when it is released into the environment like a Big Pacific Ocean.

Just to add a little point and bump this thread…

Thanks Ilie, also for pointing out the typo, do you know when the thread got unstickied?

[Ilie Pandia]

Hi "778 neighbour of some guy",

It looks like on 1st of May 2014.

We have a limit on how may threads we keep sticky on each forum and so what happens is that some threads will become "unstuck" and others "stuck", as the information on the forum evolves.

I recommend you create a bookmark of this page so you can find it easily.

OK, back on topic.

Absurd Radiation Limits Are A Trillion Dollar Waste

There are some easy decisions to make that will save us a trillion dollars and they could be made soon by the Environmental Protection Agency. EPA could raise the absurdly low radiation levels considered to be a threat to the public across the regulatory spectrum.

These radiation limits would go from between 4 to 25 mrem (40 to 250 microSv) to more reasonable levels, like 500 to 5,000 mrem, depending upon the regulation and the particular office in EPA.

We have a patchwork of radiation-related statutes from those that apply to routine operation of nuclear power plants, and other fuel cycle facilities like nuclear waste repositories, found in 40 CFR 190 (Atomic Insights) to those in the EPA Protective Action Guides (Reason) that provide threat levels for evacuations in the case of a nuclear disaster like Fukushima or a dirty bomb attack. A dirty bomb, or radiation dispersal devise, is radioactive material dispersed in a populated area using ordinary explosives like a car bomb.

These possible regulatory changes have been triggered by the real threat of nuclear terrorism, and by the unnecessary evacuation of tens of thousands of Japanese after Fukushima, and hundreds of thousands of Belarusians after Chernobyl (Belarus Repopulating).

Unless you, the reader, are in a boat out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, you’re getting a radiation dose between 200 and 1,000 mrem/year in the United States, just from background sources such as rock, dirt, potatoes and cosmic rays (EPA Rad Limits). Some places in the world have background doses ten times higher than us. There have never been any observable health effects from these doses. Ever. Anywhere.

However, for reasons historic and political, the present radiation threat level established in 1977 by EPA was 25 mrem, well below background in any part of the world, except for said middle-of-the-ocean. These levels are not even as high as that in our food.




For a nuclear waste repository like Yucca Mt, it’s even more absurd. We have to make sure the dose to a distant drinking water well won’t exceed 4 mrem in the year 4000 A.D.

Keep in mind that we radworkers can get 5,000 mrem/year and think nothing of it. We’ve never had problems with these levels. Emergency responders can get up to 25,000 mrem to save human lives and property. I would take 50,000 mrem just to save my cat.

Therefore, using 25 mrem to force-evacuate New York City seems overly cautious.

This wouldn’t be bad if it didn’t have really serious social and economic side-effects, like pathological fear, significant deaths during any forced evacuation, not getting medical procedures you should have, shutting down nuclear power plants to fire up fossil fuel plants, and a trillion-dollar price tag trying to clean-up to levels even Mother Nature doesn’t care about (WSJ; Heartland).

Keeping to these present ultralow levels, and similar levels promulgated throughout our regulatory arena (Atomic Insights), has cost the United States about $500 billion since 1970, and will cost us a lot more in the years to come (Low-Level rad Summit). .....

I am a bit late seeing your post Target...thanks...

[TargeT]

I just gave all my EmergenC away to a sick neighbor, I haven't gotten sick in over a year and a half now (normally I would get a "bug" once or twice a year) and my wife's toe nail fungus has cleared up (something she lived with for over 3 decades).

I tied my uranium ore necklace on so it physically can't come off.. haha, not that i'd want it to after these great benefits.

Some people are still inquisitive and curious, despite the radiation fear campaign.

Strangely, they are treated as hero or mental patient almost equally.

The Woman Who Ate Chernobyl's Apples

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=CdhdCbDch6A

For the past couple of years, a young woman known only as “Bionerd23” has been making strange, dangerous videos in and around one of the most infamous nuclear zones on Earth—the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.

Nothing is too radioactive or risky for her. She has shown herself getting injected with the radionuclide technetium, eating radioactive apples from a tree in Chernobyl, being chased by a possibly rabid fox, and picking up fragments of the nuclear plant’s reactor fuel with her bare hands. When a freakishly large catfish appears on camera, she calmly explains that it’s probably not a mutant—“They are just that way because nobody catches them,” she says in a video, watching a six-foot-long catfish, eerily like a shark, swim around a murky pool of water.

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=qf7n2kLubUQ

In a few non-Chernobyl-related videos, she pours liquid mercury over her bare hands, comparing the feat to smoking a single cigarette: not dangerous in limited doses, she claims. Her most popular videos are driven by a need to explain why things commonly seen as dangerous are in fact not, hence her typical lack of protective gear. It’s so odd to see her protecting herself, in fact, that she will begin some videos with an explanation about why she felt the need to don something as basic as a pair of gloves.

What is her secret? “Push away your fears and everything you've heard, and embrace the Zone,” she writes Atlas Obscura in an email.

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=j6mreZ98_Ug

While her style runs counter to many YouTube hosts (her flat affect can sometimes verge on robotic), Bionerd23 has become mildly famous in the various corners of the internet dedicated to radioactive spelunking. Since the spring of 2012, she has posted over 60 videos on YouTube documenting her trips in and around the plant, measuring radioactivity levels of various debris, as well as frequently experimenting on herself and measuring her own radioactivity. None have gone truly viral but they have not been ignored either: her more audacious Chernobyl stunts net somewhere north of 100,000 views, some twice that.

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=6kg4vVYKc90

Bionerd23 (as she wants to be known) might be German, or, at least, has spent a great of time in Berlin. She is a student, probably, though of what and where, I don’t know. Opening queries (who are you, where are you from, how did you get into this) went nowhere. “I don’t talk about that, because my person is entirely unimportant,” she wrote, “Nobody should adore a scientist, one should adore his or her work. The person is of no importance.” She posts frequently on a forum called Fusor, which has a section next to each post for basic information, including “real name.” She leaves this blank.

But her face and voice are well-known to the radioactive fan community. She is referenced in scattered blog posts around the internet, and also actively participates in the comments section underneath her videos, which has the effect of making them remarkably civil, for YouTube. Comments range from unexpectedly knowledgeable suggestions about how to chemically isolate graphite using nitric acid to fanfare like “You already have superpowers - you are an awesome, badass girl!!”

Chernobyl, at this point, is a kind of tourist destination (buses run through) but Bionerd23 pushes farther than most. The Chernobyl Exclusion Zone is huge, around 1,000 square miles emanating out from the site of the 1986 disaster. It is perfectly legal to enter the Zone, even to go very close to the reactor, though official visits are heavily regulated through government tour guides. Trespassing and poaching of animals, which include deer, bears, foxes, and various birds, are both illegal and common. Bionerd23 does not mention her legal status in any of her videos, but research in the Zone is popular and ongoing. “At first, it was just about the radiation, the contamination, measuring what is going on,” she wrote. “By now, it's a love for the place.”

Her speciality is unearthing bits and pieces of Chernobyl that would normally go unseen. A video titled “chernobyl 2013: radioactive ant bites & 115 mSv/h of pure gamma radiation” begins with this quote: “Oh, ****, yeah. This is hot.” She finds a fragment of uranium sitting in the grass a few kilometers from the reactor, “guarded by radioactive ants.” Dressed in military hues and armed with an array of blocky handheld sensors, she squats down, where ants promptly crawl into her (rarely wielded) gloves and bite her. The fragment of uranium immediately maxes out all of her sensors; she is not scared, but excited. She actually says, “Yay!”

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=aptV35As8jY

But her fears are not about radiation poisoning, nor developing cancer, but more about the simple structural damage in the Zone. “Some of the old buildings are rather unsafe to enter, as they are starting to fall apart,” she wrote, and also mentioned that she is quite scared of rabid animals. One popular video finds her fleeing a red fox that, in her mind, showed far too much comfort around humans. She ends up locking herself in a car and swearing.

Bionerd23’s risky ways have not gone unnoticed by YouTube commenters, who often ask why she risks her life to go tromping through a crumbling basement in the Zone. Frequently, she replies with a Marie Curie quote: "Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood.”

Her reasons for continuing to document Chernobyl are more personal, though. “If you've been there and experienced the zone as it truly is—a time capsule—you will understand,” she wrote. “Time stopped the moment the reactor blew, and I don’t just mean the readings on the clocks... And if you embrace it, you can understand the Zone's true meaning.”

YUP ! Nice Work TargeT, getting all these Video's all lined up. Its going on two years now that i have been wearing a hot rock around my neck, plus drinking radiated water that's hot also.

[David Hughes]

If genes thought to have a strong role in cancer prevention have been switched on in animals exposed to radiation, how does that translate to "benefit" exactly? Surely you want anti-cancer genes switched off if at all possible. Does the fact that they are being switched on not suggest that the bodies defence system is responding to a serious threat? Just because our body responds to an infection and helps us overcome it, doesn't mean that we should constantly encourage infections.

Just because our body responds to an infection and helps us overcome it, doesn't mean that we should constantly encourage infections.

Let me throw out a few ideas then try to tie them together:

so every 7 years or so you are a completely new "you" all of your cells have cycled out by then, we are CONSTANTLY growing and changing, and probability being what it is, every change (new growth cycle) has a chance of mutation.

at the same time, we know that stress (at moderate, or even moderately high levels) is good for us, in fact GREAT! Sure it makes us uncomfortable (sweating while we work out, etc..) and is something that by default we avoid; but the benefits are so widely know that we can consider it "common knowledge". (if I need to expand on this I will, but stress in any form is good for us, your immune system must be stressed to stay functional, muscle structure builds and improves with stress (exercise) and so does the skeletal structure (again exercise stress)).

we have entire industries that cycle around stressing your body. Cryo-therapy and even sensory deprivation are both good examples.

So, I don't think it's even a small step of logic to tie the two together.


Since you are constantly growing new cells, having anti-cancer genes activated via radiation exposure is probably the best thing that you could do for your self, especially in modern society were we "stress" our bodies beyond the point of moderation with processed foods, aluminum particles in our deodorant and sunscreen, daily chemical baths with SLS and other crap, unnatural work/rest cycles, etc....


anyway, that's sort of a rushed answer, let me know if it makes sense (I'm sure I'll come back and edit it for clarity later.. )

Quote Your Radiation This Week No 26
By Bob Nichols on October 17, 2015
Oct 10 to Oct 17, 2015
(San Francisco) Oct 17 2015 – An unacknowledged nuclear event swept through the Upper Midwest in the United States in September 2015. No terrorist organization, nuclear capable corporation, government agency or organized military has taken credit for the event.

In a nutshell, here’s what happened: A powerful nuclear pulse was created somewhere in the upper Midwest and spread a radioactive wave front outward hundreds of miles across America’s Heartland. The pulse was recorded at the few active and published radiation stations with an unmistakable signature.

Highest Recorded Radioactive City in America this week
A familiar Leader in the race for the Most Radioactive Weather in America in September is Billings, Montana with 1,962 CPM down from 2,217 CPM last week. Congratulations to Billings, MT, again, as the Most Radioactive City in America for this week.

Forty-one (41) cities exceeded 1,000 CPM this week, up from Thirty-three (33) cities in Your Rad Weather two weeks ago. That is a new record High for this column. Stay Alert and take all appropriate precautions.

Changes


In September 2015 some unacknowledged source or sources around Lake Michigan spread measurable radiation all over the country. Like a Devil Wind it could be tracked for several weeks. Thousands of people know about it and no one is talking publicly.



German Analysis of Certain Isotopes after Meltdown in 1992


Hold on to your hat. In 1992 Germany calculated that in reactor meltdowns like Fukushima Daiichi the radioactive isotope Strontium 90 would aggressively poison the environment for 109.2 years and then decline slowly over the next 273 years. Of course, we will all be long dead by then. Other deadly Rad isotopes put Strontium 90’s generous life span to shame.

The German study is here for those brave enough to tackle it. Source: The IAEA: Dispersion of radionuclides and radiation exposure after leaching by groundwater of a solidified core-concrete melt by Bayer, A.; Tromm, W.; Al-Omari, I. (Kernforschungszentrum Karlsruhe (Germany)) from 8. International congress of the International Radiation Protection Association (IRPA8)



Isotope Count reporting


These CPM numbers do not represent the real radiation counts in your radiation weather for the week. The Rad is actually much higher (worse) than these government certified partial reports say. Use these report numbers as your Starting Point in adding up your daily, monthly and annual exposure from your Rad Weather.

Most radiation monitors report on the radioactive presence of Cesium 137 and Cesium 134 at the detector. YRTW will report on the secrets the Pros use in estimating the actual Total radiation counts. It is not a pretty picture.

The Lethality from a specific release goes up for 35 years; then the Lethality declines slightly and hangs steady for thousands of years. Regrettably, for all Normal Humans that is many generations. The end result, of course, is extinction of our species and all others on the planet. Everybody is included; no one is left out. I know of no variety of Humans immune to radiation.

Day One out of the reactor use a Cesium 137/134 CPM multiplier of 150 Times to get an approximation of the Total Rad. After 15 days outside the reactor the multiplier is still about 100 times the two similarly named Cesium Isotopes – Cesium 137 and Cesium 134. After 10 years have passed from that release, the Multiplier is Five Times the common published Cesium 137 report.

The Lethality is still increasing though. Yes, the Radiation is going down and the Lethality is going up at the same time for 35 years after a big release. That is a really hard to understand point about Your Rad Weather This Week. Each new major Rad release starts the Cesium countdown clock all over again, too. It gets … complicated with all the overlapping and the daily releases.

Here’s how you can calculate an estimate of your Total Rad today: Use a reported account of your Cesium 137 CPM and Multiply Times 5. Another way to say it is Cs137CPM X 5.0 = Your Total Radiation Estimate. That’s it. No magic. Just the facts as close as you can calculate it. Good Luck.

However, provided Cesium 134 is present you are experiencing a recent radioactive release and all bets are off. Why is that? Because the two Rad Isotopes decay at greatly different rates. The relatively long lived Cs 137 is half gone in 30.1 years. The shorter lived Cesium 134 is half gone in only 2.06 years. In addition, the amount of deadly Plutonium 239 is steadily increasing, even out of the reactor or exploded bomb. As a result the Multiplier changes very rapidly.

Radiation types commonly measured by radiation monitors include Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Neutron and X-Ray radiation. Only Beta and Gamma are reported by the EPA and here on YRTW. The only thing they have in common is that they all kill you. There are also 1,944 more known individual Rad elements, only a few are ever mentioned in articles.

In short, the newer disaster’s Cesium 137/134 immediate radiation readings so conveniently echoed by official news outlets tell you right away by simple Multiplication how big the disaster really is. Think of it as the insider’s secret code. Multiply away!

How often do radioactive releases occur? The answer is: Radioactive releases occur daily in most reactors. This almost daily reactor Venting does complicate your health decisions and your estimated Rad readings. May you always have better Rad Weather; but, that’s not likely.

Isotope detectors
If you have a lot of money you can buy an Isotope detector that will tell you the name of isotopes it is tuned to detect. They are excellent tools for determining specific Rad elements. More power to you if you can afford one, or a group of you can pony up the Bucks to buy one. In this case knowledge is power. That kind of power can only be bought.

Without it, you have what the Pro-Nukers laughingly refer to in our lives as “A shortened life span.” That means the Pro-nukers are joyfully killing people these 70 years now since Hiroshima got Nuked by the United States; and, have no intention of stopping. I mean, after all, they get rich slaughtering us.

My first thought is to sigh (not because of you, its this topic.. haha).

the measurement of Radiation is (in my mind) purposefully confusing. Here is a breakdown of some of the different units:

CPM/DPM/Becquerels/Curies: measures number of radiations, regardless of type. CPM is slightly different in that it is dependent on the efficiency of the radiation detector, while the latter three are quantities of the actual radiation source.

Rad: A measure of absorbed radiation energy (Joules per Kg)

Roentgen (R): A measure of a combination of radiation intensity and energy (Coulombs per Kg)

REM (Roentgen equivalent man): same as R, but with a weighting factor depending on the radiation type (alpha/beta/gamma/neutron). This is the most common unit used in the US.
(more info on conversion here: http://www.radprocalculator.com/FAQ.aspx and another good tool: http://www.convert-me.com/en/convert...on/rrmrem.html )

Here is an excellent chart showing what actual levels of radiation are and if you should be worried:
https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...l=1#post519465


SO, back to your post.

100 CPM is roughly = 1 usv (Microsievert) per hour which is so low it's not even worth measuring really.


So my thoughts on what you posted? FEAR PORN! the fact that they used the word "powerful" is pure emotional manipulation, these levels are so low that its comical to even mention them.

Its like saying you normally get hit by 1 drop of rain per day, but today you got hit by 3.. OMG A FLOOD MUST BE COMMING, or.. DID WE ALREADY DROWN?!

Its a complex topic which almost no one will self educate on, so they rely on these terribly written articles that toss out numbers which NO ONE understands (well, almost no one) and since the numbers "seem" big it scares people.

for example.. this is how they "explain" CPM:

*Listed in Counts per Minute, a Count is One Radioactive Decay Registered by the Instrument.

That sentence is so useless I don't even know why it was written in this context.

my opinion of VT has slowly slid down to the point that I no longer read their articles, granted that's not a good idea (don't shoot the messenger etc...) but I see a lot of questionable stuff come from that site.

It's still a scam, and we are slowly seeing that the fear is baseless.

Original Research
Cancer mortality around U.S. nuclear power plants

Abstract

Introduction: There is concern about cancer risk from living near nuclear power plants (NPP). Different studies yield different results and this study seeks to add to the body of knowledge on the topic.

Methods: Using an ecological design, pair-wise comparisons were made for cancer death rates (CDR) in three county classifications for U.S. NPPs: counties where a NPP was located, counties that bordered the NPP counties, and remaining counties (not NPP counties and not border counties). For purposes of this study, the assumption was that different levels of any radiation released by NPPs would exist in these county classifications, as follows: most in the NPP county, second-most in border counties, and least in the remaining counties.

Results: There were no statistically significant differences between any of the paired comparisons (p>0.19).

Conclusion: The study did not find evidence that living near a nuclear power plant in the U.S. resulted in different cancer death rates among these county classifications. The lack of statistically significant CDR differences among the county classifications is likely related to there being essentially no difference in their radiation levels. However, the study is limited by the lack of inclusion of other cancer-related factors such as smoking rates. Since this is only a preliminary investigation, further study with other research designs is needed to verify this finding.

Galen Winsor died at the ripe old age of 88.

[DNA]

This thread is indeed an eye opener.
A few of the youtube videos are gone, but you can go to youtube and find them if need be.
I found the dialogue here great, and I have been watching all of the videos available on youtube with Galen Winsor.

One of the clues to this being true for me is this.
Galen Winsor stated that spent Uranium disposal requires nothing in terms of the cost that is currently being spent to do so.
Also, Galen states that there is a dollar amount of $10,000,000 dollars per ton in 1982 of recoverable useable elements in the spent fuel.
This he states doesn't make sense that this amount of money is not only wasted, but then millions more being wasted with nuclear waste disposal overkill.

Now factor in that it's the Department of Energy that is said to own Area 51 and S4.
So there appears to be a black budget landing pad for all of this money to go to.
Further, it really seems that Nuclear Power plants seem to be possible fuel processing centers of fueling exotic possible off world ships.

This is really a worth while area of study.

In English the word "bigot" refers to a person whose habitual state of mind includes an obstinate, irrational, or unfair intolerance of ideas, opinions, ethnicities, or beliefs that differ from their own, and intolerance of the people who hold them. since Veit Nahm i have run into people that have closed minds on many things , but one thing i have found is unless a person opens there mind and asks a question about what they hold as a truth no matter how it originally was set in place will hold fast there belief to the death. To see this take place here at Avalon gives me pause , i guess we are only human and since we can only exercise free speech and print , we can only hope these words will awaken those who still have a open mind, and a cause to keep humanity on a straight path in the mist of lies set in place by the controllers of this planet.

Since the video of Galen Winsor and using low dose radiation from http://www.nighthawkminerals.com/ I drink radiated water, have a hot rock around my neck , a mud pack a larger hot rock i use wear needed, cuts, buses,for the last three years. and i am still not glowing in the dark or burning myself up with all that radiation in and around me. Do your home work as we did, and maybe just maybe we can get past the lies of the NRC once and for all. i am free of all that fear they put in place back in the 50's.....

Busy time out there, but this truth is still slowly leaking out.

Don’t Panic, But Your Avocado is Radioactive: Study Eyes Background Radiation of Everyday Objects

Most people assume all radioactive materials are dangerous, if not deadly. But a new study on the radiation emitted by everyday objects highlights the fact that we interact with radioactive materials every day. The goal of the work is to give people a frame of reference for understanding news stories or other information about radiation and nuclear safety.

“We did this study because understanding how much radiation comes off of common household items helps place radiation readings in context – it puts things in perspective,” says Robert Hayes, an associate professor of nuclear engineering at North Carolina State University. “If people understand what trace levels of radiation mean, that understanding may help prevent panic.”

The researchers used a portable gamma radiation meter to measure the external gamma radiation emitted in a North Carolina home. The radiation was measured in microgray per hour (μGy/hr).

Avocados, for example, gave off 0.16 μGy/hr of gamma radiation – slightly less than the 0.17 μGy/hr emitted by a banana. Bricks gave off 0.15 μGy/hr, while smoke detectors (with their americium components) gave off 0.16. By way of comparison, natural uranium ore measured 1.57 μGy/hr.

“If you’re surprised that your fruit is emitting gamma radiation, don’t panic,” Hayes says. “The regulatory level for workers – which is safe – is exposure to 50,000 μGy per year. The levels we’re talking about in your household are incredibly low.”

“If you’re surprised that your fruit is emitting gamma radiation, don’t panic,” Hayes says. “The regulatory level for workers – which is safe – is exposure to 50,000 μGy per year. The levels we’re talking about in your household are incredibly low.”

Well, let’s do the math. There are 8760 hours in a year. So the yearly figure translates to 5.7 µGy/hr every hour of the year (50,000/8760). Since 1 µGy/hr is produced by 6.66 bricks (1/0.15), that means that, absent bananas and avocados, permanent close contact with just 38 bricks will be enough to take you to the limit. It depends on how close you need to be, but the fact is that many people live in whole cities built of brick, so you don’t need to be a brick-layer to be exposed. Other building materials are probably no better, and clearly working on a banana plantation or a myriad other environments would not be without risk either.

Not quite sure what point I am trying to make
