Low dose radiation panel: Please register to attend, comment

The National Academies is hosting another public meeting this Thursday, August 26, 2021, from 11 AM -5:45 PM ET to examine how to move forward on low dose radiation research. Please register and attend what you can. The public comment time is from 5:30-5:45 PM. The first meeting was hosted on July 21, 2021 and the video posted.

This study is sponsored by the Department of Energy, which has previously funded low dose research. This is despite DOE having its research into radiation’s impact on humans curtailed in the past due to its lack of transparency, inadequate record-keeping, and willful exposure of humans to radioactivity without their knowledge or consent — for research purposes. The Academies have provided a list of provisional committee members and Beyond Nuclear signed a group letter requesting John Graham be removed due to conflicts of interest and lack of radiation expertise. No action has been taken yet on this request as the committee remains provisional as of this announcement.

Research on low dose radiation impacts has led to some unsettling discoveries, like damage to cells that were never directly hit by radiation, and evidence that radiation may be destabilizing our generational health. Integration of these phenomena into regulations hasn’t happened yet.

Beyond Nuclear speaks out against Fukushima Daiichi radioactive wastewater dumping in the Pacific Ocean

At the invitation of Beyond Nuclear board of directors member Kurumi Sugita, Beyond Nuclear's radioactive waste specialist, Kevin Kamps, has recorded a video message opposing the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant's planned radioactive wastewater dumping scheme into the Pacific Ocean.

The Yosomono net Youtube channel recording is in English, but with Japanese subtitles, as well as English subtitled for the hearing impaired.

Here are the links:

French subtitles will also be added in the near future.

Please contact the Japanese Embassy in your country, and/or the Japanese consulate near you, and urge that the Japanese government and Tokyo Electric Power Company's current plan, to begin dumping radioactive wastewater from Fukushima Daiichi into the Pacific Ocean less than two years from now, be reversed.

Coalition letter to Japanese government agencies, opposing planned radioactive wastewater dumping into Pacific Ocean

Beyond Nuclear joined with 70 other organizations in writing to Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as well as Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry. The coalition is urging the Japanese national government to reverse its unwise and dangerous decision, announced two months ago, to begin -- a couple years from now -- dumping 330+ million gallons (1.25+ million metric tonnes, or 1.25 billion+ liters) of highly radioactive wastewater into the Pacific Ocean at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

Beyond Nuclear is quoted, including lingering radioactive contamination impact on human health, downstream, downwind, up the food chain, and down the generations.

Although not mentioned in the article, the local grassroots organization, Michigan Safe Energy Future, is also intervening against the Entergy-to-Holtec license transfer.
