Presentation on Nuclear Energy: ‘The Most Dangerous and Lethal Technology Ever Devised?’

Press release from Bob Rowen:

NuclearPowerPlant IconLike scores of others in the early sixties, Bob Rowen embraced nuclear energy as the panacea to America’s emerging energy crisis, and he believed that becoming a nuclear control technician was a career opportunity of a lifetime. As a nuclear insider, however, Rowen learned the claims made by the nuclear power industry and government were false, and he came to the conclusion that nuclear power is in no way safe, clean, or economical.
Rowen will present his reasons for calling the Pacific Gas and Electric Company a “Corporate Criminal” and why nuclear energy is the most dangerous and lethal technology ever devised by man. He will demonstrate why the operators of nuclear facilities cannot be trusted, and the regulators of them cannot be relied upon, to protect workers and the public from the ill effects of nuclear plant operation.

“I know of no one who ever set out to become a whistleblower, leastwise me,” says Rowen. “It’s just that I witnessed too many radiation safety violations and cover-ups by PG&E and the AEC to stand idly by while PG&E and the government did whatever was ‘considered necessary’ to promote and protect a failed and dangerous technology.”

It is clear that nuclear power is unaffordable in every way. A reliance upon nuclear power impedes our efforts to develop and implement the production of electricity by safe, affordable, sustainable means, such as solar, wind, and geothermal. 

Since the government and the nuclear industry has refused to conduct a much needed independent study on the ill-effects of the radiation released by Humboldt Bay, Rowen has called for comprehensive follow-up longitudinal studies on the South Bay Elementary School student and staff populations during 1963-1976, on the downwind populations of the nuclear power plant, as well as on the employees who worked at the plant during the same period. This very important meeting may very well serve as the springboard for those studies.

There will be ample time for a Q&A session following Rowen’s presentation. Date & time is Wednesday, 8/19, starting at 10 am. Location is the Arcata City Library Conference Room @ 500 7th Street, Arcata.

What other industry gets to transfer the most significant expense of its business operation (disposal of toxic waste) onto the public? Oh yeah, the pulp mill in Samoa.

The phosphate industry does, with being able to dump hydrofluoric silica acid into the public water supply. What better way to dispose of waste than to dump it into the water supply and get paid for it?

Most of the “fluoride” products dumped into the water supply come from China, a place that cares about health.

Hard as I find this to believe, there probably ARE some people out there who don’t already know this.

Since 3/11/11 Japan has shut down it’s reactors, but will be starting them back up. No other country has attempted to restart this many dormant reactors and on start up many problems arise after sitting dormant for so long.
It may not be such a cold winter after all.
