Senatore propone di gasare i Sardi con uranio

URANIO: FISICO NUCLEARE PRONTO A INDAGARE SU POLIGONO QUIRRA
LODI RIZZINI, OCCORRONO METODICHE E TECNOLOGIE SPECIFICHE


(ANSA) - CAGLIARI, 24 FEB - Il fisico nucleare Evandro Lodi Rizzini, direttore del Dipartimento di Chimica e fisica dell'Universita' di Brescia e membro del Cern di Ginevra, dove conduce studi sull'antimateria, all'indomani dell'ok bipartisan del Senato alle indagini sul poligono del Salto di Quirra, ha dato la propria disponibilita' ad appurare in modo scientifico la presenza di uranio in certe patologie e situazioni ambientali, come quella che preoccupa in modo particolare la Sardegna.
Il professore ha rinnovato, con un articolo pubblicato sul sito Vittimeuranio.com, un'offerta che aveva fatto gia' nel 2001. ''Avevo dato e mantengo la mia disponibilita' a valutare la presenza di nuclei di elementi radioattivi nelle situazioni che hanno cosi' dolorosamente colpito civili e militari negli ultimi quindici anni. Per mettere in luce la presenza di uranio - ha detto all'ANSA il fisico nucleare cacciatore dell' antimateria - occorrono metodiche in grado di rilevare anche quantita' minime che possono sfuggire con altre metodiche.
Questo tipo di indagini-analisi va affidato a fisici nucleari che dispongono delle opportune conoscenze e tecnologie e non a persone che studiano situazioni ambientali come polveri sottili o inquinanti chimici''. Secondo Lodi Rizzini, con i giusti metodi di indagine sara' possibile dare risposte in tempi ragionevoli all'interrogativo se sui terreni dei poligoni e quelli confinanti vi sia uranio e quali differenze di valori vi siano rispetto alla radioattivita' naturale. Passo successivo sara' quello di stabilire la presenza dell'uranio nell'organismo umano. ''Ed e' per questo che occorrera' dare risposte con urgenza agli interrogativi che sono stati posto'' conclude il fisico.
Nell'ottobre scorso, riferisce il sito Vittimeuranio.com, un laboratorio di Reims, su mandato di un tribunale francese che ha disposto un supplemento di perizia durante un processo, ha trovato tracce di uranio impoverito nelle ossa e nei tessuti molli di un giovane soldato francese morto per un linfoma non Hodgkin dopo una missione nei Balcani. Sui tessuti dello stesso militare, inviati in un laboratorio italiano, invece, non erano state trovate tracce di uranio perche' erano state usate metodiche diverse. Secondo l'Associazione Vittime Uranio il caso del soldato francese potrebbe favorire una svolta nelle indagini dei vari organi competenti a cominciare dalla Commissione parlamentare di inchiesta. ''Queste analisi - ha commentato Falco Accame, presidente dell'Anavafaf - sono la dimostrazione che l'uranio impoverito c'e', e che contrariamente a quanto si dice, non si perde e che quindi si puo' riscontrare''. (ANSA).

URANIO IMPOVERITO: GALLO (PDL), TESTARE ARMI UTILIZZATE IN TUTTI I POLIGONI DI TIRO



AGENPARL) - Roma, 22 feb - "Alla luce delle polemiche suscitate nei giorni scorsi, mi sembra doveroso chiarire il senso della proposta che ho avanzato nella seduta della Commissione parlamentare d'inchiesta sull'uranio impoverito. Ritengo necessario testare le armi utilizzate in tutti i poligoni di tiro - e dunque anche nella mia Lecce - durante le esercitazioni che vengono regolarmente effettuate, per verificare se le munizioni utilizzate possano produrre, in seguito all’esplosione, nanoparticelle di metalli pesanti. Dunque svolgere anche indagini sugli eventuali esperimenti effettuati nel corso delle esercitazioni già in programma nei poligoni di tiro. Questi accertamenti si rendono necessari anche per capire di quale tipo di munizionamenti si faccia uso (ivi compresi quelli all’uranio impoverito), nell’interesse esclusivo della salute dei militari e della popolazione residente nelle aree interessate. Per tale motivo ho ritenuto, sentito il consulente balistico della Commissione, di avanzare la proposta di intervento della Commissione per verificare tali circostanze. Dispiace constatare che qualcuno, come il Presidente della Regione Sardegna, Ugo Cappellacci, abbia frainteso il significato della mia proposta e mi abbia attribuito propositi che mi sono del tutto estranei." E' quanto scrive il senatore del Pdl, Cosimo Gallo.

GOD, CHEMTRAILS and JIM PHELPS

GOD, CHEMTRAILS and JIM PHELPS
by Jim Phelps

Some of you may wonder who in the world that I am. Who is this person that goes by the name "Jim Phelps" and sounds like the TV show "Mission Impossible?" It is my real name and the rest of the story is interesting.

I am a person that worked as a "Development Staff" person for Oak Ridge National Lab at the height of the Cold War during the Reagan Administration. I have degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Tennessee.

All degrees mean is that you can be trained in the ways of industry. This training would be my ticket into one of the most corrupt nuclear national security organizations in the world called ORNL and DOE-ORO.

I would come to learn that all my nice industry training would be turned upon its ear with what I was to come to learn about the interactions of fluorides and metals on the human immune system and health. I found that industry made some large mistakes and some huge wrong turns in its haste for money and short-term goals. I also found that industry has engaged in one huge cover up on the effects of fluoride compounds.

I found in some 6,000-year-old knowledge more insights into human health than all the training from industry. This became an epic revelation, once the pieces fell into place. It became a turning point event in the world of national security. A point where 6,000 year old science was shown to know more than we know today on the elements of health.

I am a second generation Oak Ridge worker, as my father worked at the Y-12 bomb plant for some 30 years before having to take early retirement. I learned first hand that the management of Y-12 knew they were making workers sick with the toxic metals and chemicals present. I knew there were serious problems with the Hydrogen Fluoride "Salt Shop" operation at the Y-12 plant.

I also learned that Oak Ridge managers were more than willing to lie and deceive people to run these toxic processes. Their biggest lies were on the safety of hydrogen fluoride, which is one of the most dangerous chemicals in the world. It is a cumulative poison with many health effects that the chemical and metals industries have kept hidden.

When I was in grammar school I was exposed to Y-12 plant uranium contamination that my dad brought home daily. He helped to make the hydrogen bomb components from uranium. He told many stories of uranium catching fire and sparks flying from under shoes when walking in the contaminated areas. When I was in high school I knew how the A-bombs worked, the machining characteristics of uranium, etc. I knew the warheads that Y-12 made to put on the Jupiter missiles in Turkey were unreliable because of Y-12's explosive mirror problems.

My lineage comes from the Phelps family, which traces its heritage back to Europe and the Welf and Guelph families that trace their heritage to the House of David. My mother's side of the family also traces back to Jewish heritages. This background prompted me to follow some of the deeper issues of religion linked to the End-Times.

This connected me to many of the Jewish secrets in the Manhattan Project. I discovered my princely family heritage was highly into mining metals and had much expertise in this area.

I knew things like the sword Excalibur were tied to meteor "Star Metals" of Egypt and the Magi, and provided steel when steel was supposed to be not possible. The legend of the "Isle of Avalon" and Glastonbury Abby was linked to the family of Jesus fleeing the Holy Lands, and that Jesus had visited the UK as a kid because his family owned copper and tin mines there.

Iron in the swamps around Avalon was purified by Iron digesting bacteria and this was used to get the early rare steel used to forge Excalibur. This was some of the special knowledge in Old World metals.

The Jews and the Egyptians were masters in metal mining and working. King Solomon mined Gold in volcanic sites and the Egyptian holy temples were about mining Gold. The story of Mt. Sinai and Moses was about a volcano. The story and the assumptions from these Jewish histories are not about a relationship with God, the Creator. This Jewish interpretation for God causes serious problems in the world today.

I developed a fascination with volcanoes and visited many and walked on each like Moses did in his times. It was just for an experiment and I liked to be barefoot on hikes anyway. These little experiments lead to the long line of mining operations connected in the family back to ancient times. I also picked up that many beneficial metals aided in health and longevity. The Egyptians used ingesting elemental gold as a medicine. When I came to Oak Ridge I was to study the health effects from metals intensively from their many emissions.

During my stay at ORNL I worked on a variety of projects from those for the FEMA-COG projects to these of keeping the US Navy in RADIAC radiation instruments. I developed a system to topologically survey radiation areas, USRADS, for clean up when the Cold War subsided. I was considered a Genius by many and a danger because I knew too much about their hushed up serious problems. I even knew that Oak Ridge conspired to murder JFK to support their jobs there. I knew the major players the day it happened, they were Jewish and pro-Israel. One, I knew personally.

In working on FEMA-COG projects to keep the Govt. working if the Russians tried to decapitate the US leadership, I talked to persons that were involved in the nuclear bomb testing. My work on bomb survivable radiation detection network and "meteor-burst communication" systems provided me with very unique knowledge. These persons saw little brown skin natives put in cages for the nuclear tests to study the radiation and blast effects upon them. These little humans were also used in airborne balloon nuclear testing in 1947. This became the epic cover up in national security.

I have been to the Top Secret Presidential Bunker called "Mt. Weather," which is near Berryville, Va., for those meetings with the "Spooks" of the "Black Project" world. I have been to the homes of the Mt. Weather director and done dinners with he and others. I have been to the home of FEMA-COG person named Carl Siebentritt and done dinners with he and others.

In my days at ORNL, I was highly recognized for my ideas and inventions. And most especially for my knowledge of the skeletons in the national security closet.

At ORNL, I discovered the major health problems associated with Hydrogen Fluoride losses from the plant processes in Oak Ridge, particularly from the Gaseous Diffusion Plant called K-25. My discovery found that fluorides complex with various metals to upset the immune system via G-protein type pathways. The G-proteins were named after God Proteins and the discoverer went on to win the Nobel Prize years later.

This process played a dominant role in immune illness, aging, and death. It was one "Mega" discovery that rocked the boat of profits from industry and showed many very wrong concepts. I showed the importance of human and animal development on this planet were highly tied to the trace metals in soils and water from volcanic and other releases.

I also discovered the ideas for making "CHEMTRAILS" or "Air Pharmacology" to treat the global warming and health effects. My ideas were to use Aluminum to seed clouds that are dispersed from jet plane fuel burning. The ideas also included the dispersion of cheep titanium to reduce the effects of fluoride-
metal complex metals on animal health. The titanium and fluoride complex did not from the bonding angles that activated the G-protein bonding sites.

My ideas also included the use of Barium to introduce photoelectric effects into the air to make it conductive and change the potential gradient to reduce storm energies. This is a very secret program today, despite the easily observable jet trails in the skies raining down on the unsuspecting heads of humans daily. These type methods will give the US control of the weather and also slow down the problems of global warming and deadly storms.

These methods are related to colloid metal processes in both water and air, and lead to the kick off of the "Nano" materials research on health. In Chemtrail methods, colloid metal particles drift down through the air reacting with the sulfuric, HCl, HF acids and removing them. Colloid metal processes are the secret behind "Cold Fusion." Electrically conductive metal colloids set up a nano-interface for the fusion of deuterium atoms on the surfaces of metals.

My discoveries at ORNL have lead to some of the most secretive and intensive projects since the Manhattan Project. The secrecy of these projects are guaranteed by the very same system that was used to cover up and conceal the JFK assassination and the war crime murders of little jungle native aliens for atomic testing. The Jewish dominated national security system of the US can literally get away with the murder of US presidents.

At ORNL, I became one of the few persons ever exposed to a fission fast gas release from a fission problem in the ORNL gunnite tanks. This uncontained nuclear release accident would have closed down ORNL if Congress had learned of this problem. The highly radioactive Xenon and Krypton fast nuclear gases released posed a severe danger to the lab staff. I was one of the persons to get coated with this nuclear fallout.

Other problems that I knew about were the unsafe fuel storage at the ORNL MSRE reactor. A UF-6 criticality often forced HF into the building air and those exposed were used as guinea pigs to study what these low level releases did to human health. The MSRE fuel system used bellows valves that were easily ruptured from UF-6 criticality pressure surges. The radioactive fuel system cooked off fluorine gas, which then hit grease on the valve and water and made a rocket fuel explosion at MSRE. It made dozens of people very sick. I also knew of a nuclear accident at the Y-12 Chestnut Ridge burial ground that produced a "Column of Fire" from hydrogen emissions.

I was also privy to all the DOE's varied operations via varied information conduits. I knew there were vulnerabilities at Hanford from mortar hits to high level waste storage and my warning was heeded by nets put in place over these zones. I talked to the persons that personally witnessed the clogged filters at Rocky Flats with plutonium. I was aware of the methods using Freon burned in automobiles to cause "pass out" accidents, like the one that killed Karen Silkwood.

I knew about the CIA's Sydney Gottlieb experiments with LSD and the specialized "No Pest Strip" technique used with LSD to make targets paranoid and appear crazy. This is the technique suspected of being used on James Forrestal after he made a trip to determine the alien problems in 1947 and found essentially human experiment war crimes covered up by Truman. He was fired by Truman and died of problems that look like LSD induced suicide shortly afterwards.

I worked on microwave linked robotic manipulators that became the ideas for UAV's like the near noiseless and RADAR invisible "Dark Star" and the lesser "Predator." Dark Star could be equipped to carry Freon and use its pulse engine method to propel burned Freon smoke rings to the ground to make problems like in the Silkwood case.

My ideas went on to fund major projects at the DOE's area 51. Area 51 is where the DOE hides it most dangerous secrets that can put the White House presidents in jail for things from human experiment war crimes to the cover up of the End-Times health effects.

My ORNL information conduits lead straight to persons like Cheney, Rumsfeld, Reagan via the FEMA-COG connections. These connections are the shadow Govt. that keeps varied issues blacked out from public knowledge. Even many matters that are War Crimes and totally illegal.

Today, I am a legend in the world of national security for going straight and recommending the criminalprosecution of the upper levels of the shadow Govt. I used to work for the "crooks" of the Oak Ridge national security system as their most prolific inventor. I was the inventor that defined God for them and explained the messages of the Revelations.

I am now their worst enemy and a Whistleblower. I have been repeatedly attacked for coming out on these RICO Crimes and treason's against Americans. These attacks have slowed down my progress and left me with CFS related health problems due to plant fluorine exposures and fluoride chemical attacks.

These are the factors that make Oak Ridge the most corrupted city on the face of the planet. Oak Ridge sponsored the "City of Hate" that had JFK killed, and they sponsor varied Hate Crimes to this day. Oak Ridge also keeps the secret on how God from the Jewish texts is not a valid concept for God, the Creator.

Oak Ridge's big secret here keeps the churches funded with scare tactics on God and fuels the fires of the Jewish and Arab war that is now called Terrorism. Oak Ridge gives Bush-41 his false platform for the NWO. Oak Ridge has again set up a make work project using false and illegal methods. Oak Ridge works by methods of Racketeering.

Perhaps my most valuable discovery at ORNL was finding the real issues pertaining to the Ark of the Covenant. My studies found that Moses ran to the area of "Midian" and the City of "Madian" in Saudi Arabia after he killed an Egyptian. This area had a nearby volcano, which Moses came to know well with the "Burning Bush" story. The story of the "Burning Bush" is about an impending eruption and how plants could survive in such a harsh environment and was linked to the issues of the Manna food.

Moses was making a transition into monotheism in these times and he made a few mistakes in its execution. He was all for the Manna effects to feed the Jews, but against the Egyptian temple methods of golden calf style manna effects. This would lead back to the multiple gods of Egypt and Rome. Moses' big problem was he presented Mother Nature or the natural order as God.

This is easily seen today, but perhaps not in these times of early transitions toward monotheism. Moses mistakes have grown to huge problems today due to persons not understanding this problem and taking things literally from him.

Manna was linked to the issue of the "Golden Calf," where gold rings were cooked in a fire with the meat. This coated the meat with some gold, which had a medicinal effect to ward off the health effects from volcanic toxic release, such as the very dangerous fluoride releases. The trace gold works by complexing with the fluoride and blocks the formation of dangerous G-proteins. It is an analogue of the titanium method used for chemtrails. This was how the titanium method was discovered.

I had explained the legend of the "Purple Manna" as that for gold colloid, which takes on a purple color. The "GoldManna" was the ultimate perfection for the manna that interfered with the formation of the destructive fluoride-
metal complex and allowed persons to survive in these toxic environments.

I found the basic secret for the "Manna" was the beneficial trace metals caused plants to grow like the best fertilizers ever seen. Manna was basically fertilizer using trace metals. The DOE today often takes its hazardous trace metals mining wastes and dumps them into fertilizer mills.

The area where Moses fed the people with Manna was located downwind of this Mt. Sinai volcano, where these trace metals fell onto a large plain. And the famous rock that Moses split has a natural face upon it that looks a bit like Moses with an Egyptian religious headdress. During the times of the these eruptions, due to a geologic fault across the Red Sea crossing zone, the area would have been raised due to the volcanic pressures there.

This long finger of the Red Sea experiences tides of 24 ft. today. Add the effects of the times with the large volcanic dark clouds modifying the weather with high-pressure zones and strong winds adding to these tidal effects. Then, one has what caused the Red Sea to part and produce one of the most famous of battlefield uses of natural elements to establish a strategic win for Moses in freeing his people from Egypt. Moses was an expert on the region effects from the volcano by observation of this periodic effect. The US military seeks to learn and adapt these same methods to use weather for its purposes. This added a new chapter to the war college at West Point.

I defined a difference between the "God of Moses" and the "God the creator," or the intelligent force in the universe that sets up the natural order.

God, the creator, as the intelligent force in the universe has made things like 4 state DNA chains that appear like billion-bit computer codes. The creator intelligence affects set up order in the universe and makes order from chaos. The God of Moses claimed the natural order effect of a volcano was God. God is not a volcano.

This is an interesting difference that causes huge problems for religions and the Jew's beliefs on Moses. It is a real problem related to the creation of the nationalistic state of "Israel," which means to "struggle with God."

These ideas came to produce elements for the Star Wars "Excalibur" weapons system, as these volcanoes and nuclear weapons columns of fire tend to upset the Earth's potential gradient. When this merged with the Tunguska USSR Blast meteor effect, we had Excalibur that used LASERS to discharge the Earth's capacitor. And the ideas on weather modification using "HAARP" and "Chemtrail" photoelectric methods. The ideas also explained the problems that Noah experienced from larger weather effects of a volcanic detonation in his times causing huge rains for 40 days and nights, and how these two events of the Ark are related.

My explanations for these Biblical "miracles" were the rational explanations for known natural order effects on this planet due to volcanic effects. In the mid-1980s, this explanation became widely accepted in national security circles for the truth on the biblical narratives and record. The simple truths in this explanation threatened everything from religion to medicine, and the hiding of this truth could be used for extreme exploitation by the rich and powerful.

The Bush Empire types are the lead exploiters in the US.They commit crimes against the world with these cover-ups from religion. Religion in the US avoids telling these simple explanations of the Old Testaments narratives, because these religion factions know this will change things for religion. They will no longer be able to make their false claims of miracles and invoke their alleged special associations with God.

Most of them will be exposed as misleading the country and setting up the differences leading to the End-Times war. They won't be seen as clearly stating what Jesus was speaking about in his Revelations. One needs to keep in mind that the word "Jesus" in Hebrew means, "God Saves." The truth here will separate religion's leaders from the money they have made by spinning exaggerated tales for simple effect from nature.

I had discovered that the Bible's miracles were really just simple rational events of natural processes. There were no real miracles, only misrepresenta-
tion and overselling by those interested in making money from religion. This information threatened the religious evangelists that depend on the idea of miracles to sell their religion.

I had explained the Manna effects, the Dead Sea Crossing, the Image of a human on the rock that Moses split, the factors driving the End-Times, and the rational processes that make them happen. I even had the main driver for Armageddon in my grasp, and it was totally rooted in misrepresentation. Religion had then become a racketeering operation due to these blatant mis-representations. US religion and Zionism provokes terrorism due to these untruths.

Today, when these simple truths should be made available for all to know, they are hidden as much if not more than in biblical times. It is time that all these simple truths get laid bare on the table for all peoples to see. Such simple truths lead to greater world revelations about where we should be as a nation and as a world. The truths here will suggest that modern medicine is a profit making ruse on the world and that there is a better and less expensive way to provide for world health. This would help the SS budget and Medicare expenditures.

These truths revealed on the use of Chemtrails will show that the US Govt. has long known the truth on what causes the AIDS epidemic. Chemtrails use a truncated version of the Manna effect. And AIDS is the direct result of too much fluoride in the environment that is upsetting the beneficial trace metals in the human cells and immune system. This leads to a lower level of metals, like manganese, that block the reverse transcription of HIV. This is a very important concept from the End-Times predictions of huge health plagues sweeping the planet and all very predictable from the old biblical times for those that knew the mining industries.

I had made some of the most relevant discoveries of the 20th and 21st century by study of metal colloids or metal nano-particles. These near mono-atomic particles delivered the unique abilities to cure disease by running interference with fluoride compounds and by setting up methods to curb global warming by using jet plane distribution techniques. All these ideas came from walking barefoot on volcanoes and learning about the Old World narratives related to my lineage.

Thus, one may now see what my new effort has become since leaving the criminals of Oak Ridge. The new effort is to put the criminals in jail and to expose the truth of the better ways and the real meanings these old texts of religion were intended to present to this dying world. Some of the biggest criminals in this process reside in the White House and its cabinet, and they use and abuse these factors of religion. Everyone is invited to read, learn, and then help with this most benevolent mission.

"Your Mission [as readers]," "should you decide to accept it," is to help in these times of the revelations to lay down the pathway to the promised land of a thousand years of peace and abundant health that has not been known on this planet for 6,000 years. It is not an impossible mission. It is a mission that should have already been done, if the US were honest.

This will be my gift to you and the nations of the world. Use it wisely and honestly. This is my "Magnum-Opus Project," to right the wrongs of the Manhattan Project and the crooks of the national security system of the US shadow Govt.

Tracce di uranio impoverito nel cadavere di un reduce

vittimeuranio.com, 22 febbraio 2011

Tracce di uranio impoverito nel cadavere di un reduce dai Balcani

Tracce di uranio impoverito sono state riscontrate nelle ossa e nei tessuti molli del cadavere di un militare reduce dai Balcani. Il caso riguarda Ludovic Acariès, soldato francese deceduto nel 1997 all’età di 27 anni per un linfoma non Hodgkin, ed è all’attenzione della giustizia francese in quanto i familiari hanno chiamato in causa, per far luce sulla morte, il Ministero della Difesa. Le analisi spettrometriche sono state effettuate nell’ottobre del 2010 in un laboratorio di Reims su mandato del Tribunale di Cergy-Pontoise che aveva disposto l’esumazione della salma.

Alcuni resti del corpo erano stati analizzati nel 2005 da un noto laboratorio italiano, ma in quell’occasione non erano state riscontrate tracce della sostanza incriminata, ma solo metalli pesanti come cromo e ferro.

Della vicenda si sta occupando l’associazione francese Avigolfe, fondata, tra gli altri, dal padre di Ludovic, ma anche l’Airpri. “Le notizie che arrivano dalla Francia – fanno notare dall’Associazione Vittime Uranio –potrebbero rappresentare una svolta nelle indagini dei vari organi competenti a cominciare dalla Commissione parlamentare di inchiesta”. “Queste analisi – commenta Falco Accame, presidente dell’Anavafaf - sono la dimostrazione che l’uranio impoverito c’è, e che contrariamente a quanto si dice, non si perde e che quindi si può riscontrare. In passato altre analisi italiane lo dimostrarono ma furono dopo qualche tempo smentite
dagli stessi autori”.

"Le analisi - spiegano infine dall'Aipri - confermano la presenza di particelle di metalli pesanti allungandone la lista ma contraddicono la categorica “assenza” di uranio impoverito da anni ostentata. Ne rilevano in effetti sia nei tessuti con una una media di 3,34 nanogrammo per grammo pari a 4,12E-5 Bq che nella ossa con una media di 0,76 nanogrammo per grammo pari a 9,37E-6 Bq. Segnalano inoltre la presenza di un altro elemento estraneo alla composizione atomica degli esseri umani come il tungsteno".

US-UK-Italian Uranium Science Fraudulent: Patients Betrayed by Italian Scientist
Bob Nichols, AxisofLogic.com


May 8, 2005 – (Oklahoma City) Nuclear Weapons Lab scientist Leuren Moret today accused three Western governments of condoning and promoting science fraud relating to Radiation Poisoning from the use of Uranium Weapons in Iraq and Central Asia by Italian scientist Antonietta Morena Gatti.

Moret has spoken in forty-two countries and numerous international court cases about the hazard uranium represents to the human race. Moret consulted famed former Manhattan Project scientist and consultant to the Lawrence Livermore Nuclear Weapons Lab, Marion Fulk, before making the announcement. The Manhattan Project constructed the first atomic bombs used against humans in war time in August 1945.

Moret stated "Gatti posted mass spec profiles on her website which showed what common metals were detected but the profiles were cut off (edited) where uranium shows up on the profile. The presentation of her information was done in a way that hides or omits the uranium spike which is the likely culprit."

Moret stated about Gatti "It was obvious that Gatti is very competent, and would know that uranium might be a factor to take into consideration in her research, and would certainly know how to identify and measure it. It is very unlikely that this is simple gross negligence, sloppy science, or incompetence."

Moret continued "This dreadful woman [Gatti] has violated the trust of Susan Riordan, dishonored the memory of Terry Riordan, and scammed all to further her own ambitions. It is vital at this time for the Italian government to cover up the harm of DU because there are sick Italian soldiers who served in the Balkans and Iraq, and Italian soldiers are shooting DU into the fisheries in coastal Sardinia where fisherman are making a huge political stink.

Moret concluded "I think Gatti's 'science spin' is reprehensible... and I am sorry for Susan and Terry that they have been used in such a political way."

The Terry Riordan Memorial fund at on the Uranium Medical Research Center
www.umrc.net/riordon.aspx includes this information about Captain Terry Riordan:

"Terry Riordon was a member of the Canadian Armed Forces serving in the Gulf War. He passed away in April 1999 at the age of 45. The official cause of death was Gulf War Syndrome."

Terry went to the Persian Gulf in December 26, 1990 with honor, dignity and pride - serving his country as Captain J. Terry Riordon of the Canadian Armed Forces. Terry left Canada a very fit man who did cross-country skiing and ran in marathons. On his return only two months later he could barely walk."

"He returned to Canada in February 1991 with documented loss of motor control, chronic fatigue, respiratory difficulties, chest pain, difficulty breathing, sleep problems, short-term memory loss, testicle pain, body pains, aching bones, diarrhea, and depression. After his death depleted uranium (DU) contamination was discovered in his lungs and bones."

"For eight years he suffered his innumerable ailments and struggled with the military bureaucracy and the system to get proper diagnosis and treatment. His wife, Susan Riordon, speaks most eloquently of the nightmare of physical, mental and emotional hardship endured not just by Terry but his entire family."

"He was ultimately unsuccessful it getting the answers or help he needed in his lifetime. His final wish was to donate his body to independent research on DU. That was Terry's gift to all who served in the Persian Gulf. He wanted his body to supply the answers to years of suffering and frustration. Through his gift UMRC was able to have obtain conclusive evidence of internal DU contamination in his lungs and bones. Even after death Terry continues to contribute to his country and his fellow veterans."

"You can honour Terry Riordon's memory and other veterans who gave their lives and health for their country. UMRC has established the "Terry Riordon Memorial Fund" to help make possible scientific research on uranium and informed medical diagnosis of exposed persons. By making a financial donation, you are supporting essential work that has as yet to be undertaken seriously by public agencies in Canada."

"All contributions are tax deductible in the United States and Canada. Donations are made payable to Uranium Medical Research Centre (UMRC). Please indicate that the donation is directed to the 'Terry Riordon Memorial Fund'."

"UMRC is pleased to be supported by Susan Riordon, Captain Riordon's widow. She is also the Chair, Canadian Peacekeeping Veteran Association (CPVA) - Atlantic Regional."

Quirra e i fisici nucleari

Quirra e i fisici nucleari

http://aipri.blogspot.com/2011/02/quirra-e-i-fisici-nucleari.html

Quirra e la zona circostante il poligono sono da anni oggetto di grave e disattese preocuppazioni per la salute ambientale. Da più di un mese l’area è tornata alla ribalta con una serie impressionante di indizi, leucemie a tassi spaventosi tra i pastori, tumori tra i soldati, frequenti deformità genetiche del gregge, fondali colmi di residui bellici, subacquei che perdono tutti i denti come i veterani americani del Golfo, uranio e piombo nel sangue, nell’orina e nei capelli dei bambini della zona, alta incidenza del diabete. L’inquietudine si diffonde tra una popolazione divisa tra timori riguardante la salute e l’economia locale a rischio di colasso turistico. Di fronte a questo lacerante disagio e questa frattura sociale che cosa fanno i nostri fisici nucleari. Niente. Non fanno un bel niente di concreto. L’unica cosa che si suppone sappiano fare (probabilmente sbagliando), i rilievi radiologici, non li fanno. Chi ha mai reperito la formula magica Bq/m2 o Bq/km2 in una qualche parte recondita di un qualche rapporto su Quirra e dintorni ? Chi si è preso la briga di percorrere con un Geiger le campagne circostanti per rassicurare la gente con dati obiettivi, perché l’assenza di radioattività artificiale va provata quanto la presenza ? Chi ha quà e là prelevato un po’ di terra per sottoporla ad esame dei rapporti isotopici U238/U235 che inequivocabilmente indicano l'origine naturale o artificiale del elemento rilevato ? Chi analizzando la vegetazione, i prodotti agricoli, le carni ne ha dimostrato la genuinità ? Gli ICP-MS delle università non funzionano più quando si tratta della vita dei propri concittadini, dei propri figli? Eminenti scienziati avete forse paura di recarvi nella zona ? Credete forse che le particelle volatili si siano fermate lì ? Che non abbiamo bussato già ai vostri polmoni ?

Contro-analisi francesi del 2010 certificano della presenza di uranio impoverito in tessuti biologici ritenuti privi di contaminazione nucleare da un laboratorio italiano nel 2005.




L’AIPRI ha ricevuto copia dei risultati delle analisi spettrometriche ICPMS compiute fine 2010 a Reims in Francia su tessuti molli e ossa di un 27enne casco blu francese dei Balcani deceduto di un linfoma maligno non Hodgkin nel settembre 1997 e riesumato per la circostanza su mandato della giustizia interpellata dal padre. (Rapport d'expertise toxicologique du 29/10/2010 n° 20082890 in Dossier M. Alain Acariès c/ le Ministre de la Défense et des Anciens Combattants, Tribunal administratif de Cergy-Pontoise n° 021936-4). Contrariamente a quanto certificato in una precedente analisi compiuta in Italia, i tessuti contengono uranio impoverito.

Nel 2005 i tessuti dello stesso soldato (Ludovic Acariès), che erano stati conservati dall'ospedale di Pontoise, furono spediti per analisi ad un laboratorio italiano privato specializzato nelle nanoparticelle. Questo, nel suo rapporto n°3/2005 del 25/02/2005, affermò per difetto non aver riscontrato uranio ma sostanzialmente metalli pesanti (cromo, ferro, ecc.). L’assenza di uranio venne reiteratamente e categoricamente confermata via mail documentabili, alcune sprezzanti, all'allora presidente dell’AIPRI, l’ex-comandante NATO Maurice Eugène André, sommo fisico nucleare, magno conoscitore dei pericoli interni del fallout atomico, “radioanalista” di primo rango, riverito “Monsieur nucléaire”, esperto NBCR a funzione esclusiva, invitato dal padre del defunto soldato a seguire dall’inizio la faccenda e a vagliare la qualità delle analisi spettrometriche del rapporto.

“La nostra apparecchiatura funziona perfettamente e non abbiamo mai trovato uranio nel corpo di soldati” risposero in sostanza alle domande. “La frequenza di rilevamento gamma per la “lettura” dell’uranio 238 è stata impostata su 48 KeV, frequenza di emissione gamma dell’uranio 238 ? L’apparecchiatura sembra, dai vostri documenti, imposta ad una frequenza inferiore ai 48 KeV. Com’è inoltre possibile che le nanoparticelle di uranio prodotte dalla combustione dei dardi non si ritrovino dentro i tessuti allorché si sparpagliano nell’aria mescolate alle altre ?” Senza tanti giri di parole né inutili tecnicismi va rimarcato che secondo questi ricercatori l’uranio frammentato all’impatto in particelle fini non viene respirato. Si respirano soltanto le particelle fini dei bersagli colpiti ! Il fallout di uranio non viene incorporato ! 70 anni di prove biologiche sulla contaminazione interna dovuta alle ricadute nucleari e documentate dalla stessa AIEA cancellate d’un colpo di spugna !

Insoddisfatto delle analisi del laboratorio italiano che seppur notevolissime erano, cosi come lo sospettava M.E André, vistosamente incomplete per motivi logici, empirici e radiologici, il padre di Ludovic Acariès ha richiesto e ottenuto dalla giustizia la riesumazione, l’autopsia e la “ri-analisi” spettrometrica di campioni di tessuti e di ossa di suo figlio Ludovic.

Le analisi del laboratorio francese confermano la presenza di particelle di metalli pesanti allungandone la lista ma anche soprattutto contraddicono clamorosamente la categorica “assenza” di uranio impoverito da anni ostentata. Ne rilevano in effetti sia nei tessuti con una una media di 3,34 nanogrammo per grammo pari a 4,12E-5 Bq che nella ossa con una media di 0,76 nanogrammo per grammo pari a 9,37E-6 Bq. Segnalano inoltre la presenza di un altro elemento estraneo alla composizione atomica degli esseri umani come il tungsteno (e, rapporto illuminante, quasi 6 volte più uranio che tungsteno). Nessuno di questi due micidiali elementi artificiali fu rilevato dal laboratorio italiano nel 2005.

Che concludere davanti una siffatta e inappellabile smentita delle precedenti analisi ? Che concludere davanti alla prova dell’inesattezza nucleare dei risultati precedenti che rischia di travolgere i pur sempre eccelsi dati sulle nanoparticelle stabili ?

Come assicurarsi della completezza e dell’imparzialità delle analisi fin’ora eseguite sui soldati martoriati ? Come escludere che le interpretazioni patologiche avanzate possano non venir turbate dall’occultamento di fatto della variabile nucleare ? Come non temere che molti dei nostri soldati possano essere deceduti in mancanza di cure adatte alla realtà della loro contaminazione radioattiva interna negata con dati tanto sbandierati quanto oggettivamente falsi ?

J’AI LU ATTENTIVEMENT votre mail. Soyez certains que je cherche pourquoi vous ne trouvez jamais des particules d’uranium dans des militaires puisque ce sont des militaires qui utilisent les projectiles avec dards d’uranium. Le Dr Colonel Asaf Durakovic (USA) qui fonda le Medical Research Centre est l’homme qui le premier dénonça la présence d’uranium dans les corps des soldats Américains (corps de décédés et de vivants). Il eut des problèmes avec son Gouvernement à cause de cela. Quand il vint en France et à Bruxelles notamment pour exposer son rapport, des incapables se mirent à rire de lui et de ses travaux. Des journalistes me demandèrent alors d’examiner et d’exposer scientifiquement son rapport et mes avis, ce que je fis. Etant donné que votre travail en Italie est impeccable et excellent, et aussi courageux que le travail de Asaf Durakovic, je ne puis que vous soutenir et me poser cette question logique, « pourquoi ne trouvez-vous pas des militaires contaminés » et je cherche les réponses probables.
J’ai publiés dès l’an 2000 un texte complet sur les effets de la guerre du Golfe, que vous pouvez lire sur mon site
http://users.skynet.be/mauriceandre/
« L’uranium et la maladie de la guerre du GOLFE »
je vous souhaite d’avoir le temps d’en prendre connaissance. Soyez assuré que si le temps et ma santé me le permettent je répondrai à votre invitation de venir visiter votre laboratoire. Par ailleurs vous pouvez me demander ce que vous voudrez au point de vue nucléaire et c’est avec plaisir « que je me couperais en quatre » pour vous. Soyez assuré de mon entier dévouement pour vous et madame.
J’estime que le fait d’avoir visualisé des nanoparticules dans des restes humains vous honore au plus haut point et vous place en tête des grandes découvertes scientifiques de ce siècle. La présence de ces particules métalliques nanométriques au sein des cellules est une cause de graves réactions de rejets par le système immunologique des victimes.

Non abbiamo bisogno di indagini per sapere chi uccide

“Non abbiamo bisogno di indagini per sapere chi uccide a Quirra”. Successo per Sa die de sa Vardania, ma nasce Comitato pro Poligono

Pubblicato il 16/02/2011

(IlMinuto) – Cagliari, 16 febbraio – Quirra, Villaputzu e San Vito. Sono state queste le tre tappe della domenica organizzata dal Comitato Sinonucle per chiedere la chiusura del Poligono di Capo San Lorenzo e per dare ancora una volta una risposta alla domanda “Chi uccide a Quirra?”. La giornata, cominciata con la collocazione di un bronzetto nuragico “A Vardania de Quirra e de sa Sardigna totu”, è proseguita con una breve tappa a Villaputzu e il pranzo all’aperto a San Vito. All’iniziativa erano presenti con le loro bandiere Sardigna Natzione, Irs, Federazione della Sinistra e Sinistra Critica, il Comitato Gettiamo le basi e il Movimento Cinque Stelle di Beppe Grillo, ma anche il sindaco di Laconi, Paolo Pisu, la consigliera regionale Claudia Zuncheddu, ed esponenti di altre forze politiche. Il momento più significativo della giornata è stato l’incontro del pomeriggio. Circa 200 persone hanno infatti riempito l’aula del Municipio di San Vito, per discutere per ore della “Sindrome di Quirra” e delle sue cause con militanti ed esperti. “Nei nostri territori – ha detto Matteo Floris, rappresentante del Comitato che nel Sarrabus si batte contro la presenza del Poligono – la guerra si combatte tutti i giorni da 50 anni. Non abbiamo bisogno di indagini approfondite. L’unica fonte di inquinamento in zona è dovuta alla base di Quirra”. “Mi fa piacere vedere la sala piena – ha proseguito – ma provo il solito rammarico nel vedere poche persone del Sarrabus”.
La questione divide le forze politiche: il sindaco di Perdasdefogu Walter Mura (Partito Democratico) difende da sempre la base. Il segretario regionale del Nuovo Psi, Gianfranco Lecca, ha persino proposto di costituire un “Comitato permanente per la difesa del Poligono”.

Depleted Uranium: Come clean on dirty bombs!

Depleted Uranium: Come clean on dirty bombs!
Member of Scottish Parliament sends dossier on depleted uranium to Defence Secretary

Global Research, February 11, 2011


PRESS RELEASE - For immediate use

MSP sends dossier on depleted uranium to Defence Secretary: come clean on dirty bombs!
Character assassination used to silence DU opponents.
Dr Bill Wilson MSP (SNP) has sent the Defence Secretary, Liam Fox, a dossier containing what he describes as “significant evidence pointing to the devastating effects of depleted uranium (DU) on the health of armed services personnel and civilians, and of the UK and USA’s attempts to suppress such evidence and prevent the investigation of the effects of DU” and called on the UK Government to take appropriate action.
DU = dirty bombs
Dr Wilson said, “There is much talk about terrorists potentially using ‘dirty bombs’, i.e. weapons which emit radiation and indiscriminately affect anyone in the vicinity, yet the USA, the UK and Israel have deployed many tonnes of DU-tipped shells. DU has a half-life of 4.5 billion years and the microscopic uranium oxide dust that DU shells produce on impact can be blown hundreds of miles, inhaled and ingested. If these are not dirty bombs then what are they?
“There is considerable evidence that thousands of armed services personnel, their families and countless civilians have been and are continuing to be affected by DU in many ways, suffering, for example, premature death, respiratory problems, cancers, stillbirths and birth deformities.
Character assassination
“Furthermore, I have seen enough evidence to believe that those who are brave enough to look into the effects of DU risk losing their jobs and worse. Character assassination is one tool in the armoury of those who seek to silence truth-seekers. I have received emails scurrilously attacking the credibility of one my informants. Unfortunately for the defender of DU, I happened already to hold various documents disproving his baseless allegations. It was an eye-opening insight into the ruthlessness of the pro-DU lobb
“I have urged Liam Fox to investigate the impact of DU on the health of UK service personnel and civilians. I have also requested him to:
· acknowledge the validity of the precautionary principle as it pertains to the potential health effects of DU;
· comply with UN resolutions pertaining to DU;
· cease to use all DU weapons (for example, CHARM 3 120 mm anti-tank rounds), and to
· clean up the mess left in theatres of war where DU weapons have been used by allied troops (this to include such measures as oiling radioactive dust to prevent it being carried by the wind and barricading heavily contaminated sites such as destroyed tanks, where clean-up is not practical and where children are currently free to play).”
Dr Wilson concluded by saying, “I am not holding my breath, but it would be wonderful if the coalition government did the right thing here, took the moral high ground and turned its back on dirty bombs, once and for all. In the meantime I am asking the Scottish Government to look into the health of armed services veterans and their families resident here, as I have little faith that the UK Government will do so.”

Notes to Editors
1. Full text of letter with links to the evidence
08 February 2011
The Right Honourable Liam Fox MP, Secretary of State for Defence
MOD Ministerial Correspondence Unit
Floor, Zone A
Main Building
Whitehall, London
SW1A 2HB
Dear Mr Fox
The health of service personnel and civilians exposed to depleted uranium
There is considerable evidence for depleted uranium (DU) having a harmful effect on health and serious grounds for believing that the UK Government and the Ministry of Defence have been failing in their duty to look after service personnel and civilians.
I would like to draw your attention to a statement on the MoD website: “Of course, the Government would consider carefully any reliable medical or scientific data that may emerge concerning the incidence of ill health in Iraq.” You will know that the UK Government effectively attempted to impede the investigation of the association between DU and ill health by voting against UN Resolution 65/55 on Depleted Uranium, which called on state users of depleted uranium weapons to reveal where the weapons have been fired when countries affected by them ask for such information.
You will be aware of abundant, and growing, evidence concerning the incidence of ill health in Iraq, which I assume you are investigating. You could start by responding to this peer-reviewed article: Busby, C.; Hamdan, M.; Ariabi, E. Cancer, Infant Mortality and Birth Sex-Ratio in Fallujah, Iraq 2005–2009. Int. J. Environ. Res. Public Health 2010, 7, 2828-2837 (http://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/7/7/2828/).
It has been suggested that the Royal Society takes the view that depleted uranium (DU) is safe. The Royal Society itself spoke out voicing concern that its original paper was misinterpreted as implying that this was the case.
I draw your attention to the following (full documents attached):
· Evidence presented by Dr Keith Baverstock, of the Department of Environmental Science at the University of Eastern Finland, to the Belgian Defence Committee on the toxicity of DU ( “Presentation to the Defence Committee of the Belgian House of Representatives: 20 November 2006.”; http://kbaverstock.org/EVIDENCDETOBELGIANCOMM.pdf ). Note that he emphasises the precautionary principle, a concept apparently unknown to the UK and US Governments and the MoD/DoD, and states, “I think it is clear that the major risk assessments of the health impact of DU have not addressed the genotoxic hazard and it is conspicuously absent from much cited assessments of toxicity such as that by Priest (21). It is also the case, as far as I am aware, that no specific body has been assigned the responsibility to produce the necessary evidence that DU oxide dusts do not pose a hazard to health.
· A BBC article, dated 1 November 2006, quoting Dr Baverstock attacking reports that DU is relatively innocuous (“Depleted uranium risk 'ignored'”; http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/6105726.stm ).
· Evidence presented by Dr Chris Busby, Scientific Secretary of the European Committee on Radiation Risk, rebutting a Home Office article denying the effects of DU (http://www.greenaudit.org/du_the_home_office_and_kosovo_refugees.htm).
· Evidence presented by Dr Chris Busby rebutting the Royal Society claim that DU presents little risk (http://www.llrc.org/du/subtopic/durs.htm).
· Evidence presented by Martin Hooper, emeritus professor of medicinal chemistry at the University of Sunderland, also rebutting the Royal Society claim that DU presents little risk (http://www.cadu.org.uk/info/reports/hooper.htm).
· The Royal Society itself has stated that “both soldiers and civilians [are] in short and long term danger” (“Scientists urge shell clear-up to protect civilians. Royal Society spells out dangers of depleted uranium”; http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2003/apr/17/highereducation.science/print).
· An information card issued to UK service personnel clearly stating that DU “has the potential to cause ill health” (http://www.billwilsonmsp.com/images/DU/du_info_card.jpg).
· Documentation from Major Doug Rokke Ph.D., employed by the US army to devise protocols for dealing with DU safely, citing extensive evidence of the effects of DU and presenting evidence for a deliberate policy of suppression/denial/cover-up on the part of the US and UK governments and the DoD/MoD (http://www.billwilsonmsp.com/images/DU/du_gulf_war_jun_2005_to_nov_25_2006.pdf).
· At least two former UK service personnel have been found, by due legal/medical process, to have suffered as a result of DU exposure, one winning a pension appeal on that basis, and the other being found to have died as a result of exposure to it (“First award for depleted uranium poisoning claim”; http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/spl/aberdeen/first-award-for-depleted-uranium-poisoning-claim-1.94325 and “Press Release : NGVFA (National Gulf Veterans and Families Association) Gulf War Veterans Support Coroners Findings and Concerns”;http://www.ngvfa.org.uk/news/newsitem.asp?item=48&from=fp ).
· “Successive [UK] governments have resisted calls for a public inquiry into the harmful effects of depleted uranium ammunition to avoid compensation claims, which could potentially cost them hundreds of millions of pounds” (“Fewer than 10 Gulf war troops had uranium poisoning”;http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/spl/aberdeen/fewer-than-10-gulf-war-troops-had-uranium-poisoning-1.94280).
· A memorandum, dated 1 March 1991, which is an order, on the part of the US army, to suppress information regarding the health effects of DU (http://www.grassrootspeace.org/twomemos.html).
· An article titled “ITEM OF INTEREST”, which is a “Defense Nuclear Agency Memo” written by Gregory K. Lyle, LTC, USA concerning what “can, must or should be done with the millions of expanded rounds of depleted uranium ordinance” in Iraq. It notes that clean up procedures “were not meant to support shipments of thousands of DU rounds from site restoration.” It goes on to note “As Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD), ground combat units, and the civil populations of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iraq come increasingly into contact with DU ordnance, we must prepare to deal with the potential problems.” Further, “Alpha particles (uranium oxide dust) from expanded rounds is a health concern but, Beta particles from fragments and intact rounds is a serious health threat, with a possible exposure rate of 200 millirems per hour on contact.” The memo warns that “specific DoD guidance concerning the disposition of DU material in the post combat period/restoration phase is currently lacking.” The writer hoped that “expression of our concerns over the side effects of DU use will help ensure protection for our troops and allies.” This memo is undated – Dr Rokke says he received it around the same time he received the Los Alamos memo in 1991. (http://www.grassrootspeace.org/twomemos.htm)
· The UK state has previously attempted to deny the effects of radiation on service personnel (“Opinion: battling against the legacy of Britain’s nuclear tests”; http://politics.caledonianmercury.com/2011/01/21/opinion-battling-against-the-legacy-of-britains-nuclear-tests/).
· The testimony of Dr Asaf Durakovic, former Chief of Nuclear Medicine at the veterans’ hospital in Wilmington Delaware, would seem to indicate deliberate (and potentially murderous) attempts to suppress information regarding the effects of DU, and the callous exposure of service personnel to it (“The NI Interview. Asaf Durakovic. Felicity Arbuthnot meets a respected scientist fighting on behalf of American Gulf War veterans.”;http://www.newint.org/features/1998/09/05/interview/ ).
· The UK Atomic Energy Authority sent a report in 1990 to the UK Government estimating that if 50 tonnes of DU were left in the Gulf area should there be a war, this would lead to an estimated 50,000 extra cancer deaths in a decade. In 1999 experts were estimating that there might be 900 tonnes remaining, dispersed by the wind (“Poisoned Legacy. Felicity Arbuthnot investigates the worldwide spread of cancers and deformities since the Gulf War.”; http://www.newint.org/features/1999/09/05/poisoned/).
· A Vanity Fair article summarising the case against DU as it stood in December 2004. It refers to the work of Dr Asaf Durakovic and Major Doug Rokke, the apparent attempts to silence/sideline them when their findings proved inconvenient, and the experiences of various US service personnel and factory workers exposed to DU. (“Weapons of Self-Destruction. Is Gulf War syndrome—possibly caused by Pentagon ammunition—taking its toll on G.I.’s in Iraq?”; http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2004/12/iraq200412)
I hope you will not continue to turn a blind eye to the considerable evidence that exists and will not continue to refuse to take adequate measures to investigate the impact of DU on the health of UK service personnel and civilians. I also request you to:
· acknowledge the validity of the precautionary principle as it pertains to the potential health effects of DU;
· comply with UN resolutions pertaining to DU;
· cease to use all DU weapons (for example, CHARM 3 120 mm anti-tank rounds), and to
· clean up the mess left in theatres of war where DU weapons have been used by allied troops (this to include such measures as oiling radioactive dust to prevent it being carried by the wind and barricading heavily contaminated sites such as destroyed tanks, where clean-up is not practical and where children are currently free to play).
I thank you, in anticipation, for acting to protect the health, both of UK service personnel and civilians in Iraq, Kosovo, Bosnia and Afghanistan.

BNP Paribas’ new hypocritical policy on nuclear financing

Friends of the Earth France is a member of BankTrack
BNP Paribas’ new hypocritical policy on nuclear financing

Paris, February 15th, 2011 – With 13.5 billion euro investments in nuclear between 2000 and 2009, BNP Paribas is the n°1 nuclear bank in the world . BNP Paribas just published its new policy on the financing of nuclear power plants , submitting its loans to nuclear power projects to specific conditions. While the bank also announced its participation in the financing of the Angra 3 dodgy deal in Brazil, Friends of the Earth France would like to remind BNP Paribas that nuclear cannot be considered in any way a solution to climate change. They also point out the numerous flaws of BNP Paribas' policy. The new policy on the financing of new nuclear power plants of BNP Paribas is presented as an integrated part of its "commitment to sustainable development". Its continuous support to the atomic industry comes in stark opposition with the most elementary principles of sustainable development and respect for the communities. This is clearly showed by the announcement around the same time of its participation to the financing of the nuclear power plant Angra 3 in Brazil, in a joint venture with Société Générale , Crédit Agricole and CIC and the Spanish banks BBVA and Santander . Many NGOs, including BankTrack and FoE France, have been warning these banks for months on the dangers of this project: such as, obsolete technology, neglected analysis on safety and accidents prevention, and the independency of the CNEN (Brasilian regulatory body) strongly put into question due to conflict of interests. Numerous problems also arise for the Jaitapur project in India, which is now being under study for financing by BNP Paribas and other French and European banks. BNP Paribas' policy includes many flaws. For example, none of its prerequisite requirements include the independence guarantee of the host country regulatory body, the inclusion of elements ensuring the effective implementation of waste management and decommissioning plans, or the effective control of the workers protection. As Juliette Renaud, the financial actors' responsibility campaigner of FOE France, stated: "This policy does not address neither the consent nor even the consultation of local communities, which will nonetheless be the first affected and which mobilisation can be severely and violently repressed, as happened recently in India on the Jaitapur project". Furthermore, this policy only covers a portion of the nuclear industry - power plants -, and does not apply to investment or asset management activities, while the issuing of shares and bonds includes more than 50% of the nuclear sector financing. Contrary to what BNP Paribas states, the electronuclear sector is becoming less and less profitable, so much so that it is beginning to lose ground. Today, it contributes only to 13% of electricity production worldwide, which is less than 2.5% of the final consumption demand in the world (less than 14% in France). However, as Marie-Christine Gamberini, the nuclear and energy campaign responsible for FoE France, reminds us: "As we approach the 25th anniversary of the Tchernobyl catastrophe, the most important brake to the development of the nuclear technology should be its intrinsic dangers, worsened by its vulnerability to extreme climate events. The privatisation of the energy sector and the growing use of subcontracting continue to increase the risks of catastrophes, even in France." These are some of the reasons why FoE France demands the immediate closure of the oldest and less reliable French reactors, the end of electronuclear in one or two five-year election periods, and the end of the selling of French nuclear power plants abroad (1). Juliette Renaud concludes: "To cope with current environmental and social issues, banks like BNP Paribas should actually adopt a global sectoral policy on the energy sector, including sub-sections for every domain (nuclear, coal, oil, agrofuels, etc.) instead of separating the sectors as they now do. This would guarantee a better coherence and would avoid leaving some key energy sectors uncovered." Private banks have indeed a major role to play in the reorientation of industrial activities, for the transition to a low carbon economy, with no radioactivity, and more respectful of the populations and their environment.
