Free downloads of European Committee on Radiation Risk Chernobyl book
... In March this year the European Committee on Radiation Risk published a collection of reports from Belarus, the Ukraine and Russia, and across Europe, showing a wide range of diseases increasing in frequency and severity since the Chernobyl disaster. The picture it presents is dramatically different from claims that there are no discernible health effects apart from the deaths of a few firemen and up to 2000 mostly curable thyroid cancers ...

- Low Level Radiation Campaign


Background: the ECRR

The European Committee on Radiation Risk was formed in 1997 following a resolution made at a conference in Strasbourg arranged by the Green Group in the European Parliament ...

In 2001 various members of the European Parliament together with two charitable bodies supported the drafting of a report. Following consultation among the Scientific Committee this is now published (30 January 2003).

Professor Alice Stewart, the first scientist to establish the health effects of low doses of radiation, agreed to be the first Chair of the ECRR ...

2. Well, if you can't do science, do conspiracy theories.
Edited on Sun Nov-19-06 06:26 PM by NNadir
Apparently WHO, UNSCEAR, ICRP, BEIR, and the editors of all of the world's scientific journals are part of a conspiracy to cover up the "work" of the "European Committee on Radiation Risk."

...Rather than use this opportunity to investigate the health effects of these exposures, the international radiation risk community has ignored the many reports of ill-health emerging from the contaminated territories. International and National bodies (e.g. ICRP, UNSCEAR, BEIR, WHO), whose remit is the evaluation of ionising radiation effects on health, have glossed over, marginalized, ignored or denied the existence of the terrible consequences of the Chernobyl fallout. Research papers have been excluded from official reports. Cries for help have been dismissed as due to ‘Radiophobia’.

Research into these effects has been mainly published in Russian language journals; these valuable contributions have (perhaps purposely) rarely been translated into English. To do so would have been fatal to the nuclear industry which routinely discharges the same radioactive substances into the environment under license...

Personally, a member of the Board of Directors, and as a Past President, General Secretary, Chief Scientific Officer and Director of Hoagie Buying for the "International Board of Scientific Organizations for the Rationalization of 5 Million Annual Biomass Fatalities" I know how these things can get.

In my attempt to publicize the fact that 5 million people died last year from burning wood, dung, and garbage, I have routinely encountered the fact that the only energy deaths that count are deaths from Chernobyl.

I suspect that it has something to do with intellectual honesty, but I can't be sure.

The World Health Organization - as part of the international conspiracy to pretend that Chernobyl deaths are not the only deaths that count - has noted that biomass deaths will rise to 8 million per year by 2030. By then of course, we will still be talking about how many people died at Chernobyl. Personally I think people who are dying from Chernobyl risk having their deaths resulting from old age unless they hurry up, not that I'm suggesting that they should hurry up. They should however keep in mind that if they die of old age and live long life spans this will negatively impact the anti-nuclear movement. Nothing could be worse than that and they really should get their priorities straight.

Since Chernobyl, the number of deaths associated with biomass burning has exceeded the number of deaths attributed to Stalin's rule, and still, I can't give anyone to give a fuck.

Maybe I should write the Committee on Radiation Risk and ask them for marketing help. Whattaya think.

By the way, the depopulated country of Ukraine put two new reactors on line in the last two years and continues to operate 15 others and has ordered two others. I would guess that the Ukrainians, in whose country the Chernobyl reactors(s) exist, and who parenthetically suffered 4,300 coal mining deaths since 1991, doesn't give a fuck what the "European Committee on Radiation Paranoia, whoops, I mean Risk" thinks.

Belarus, the other country most effected by Chernobyl has also announced an intention to build new nuclear power plants, even though everyone in the country was killed by Chernobyl.

Russia, which also doesn't give a fuck what the "The European Committee on Radiation Risk" thinks - and which has ready access to the journals written in Russian that the Committee has translated into French, English, Japanese, Etruscan, Old English and certain old Frisian dialects - has three reactors under construction, 8 on order, and 18 under discussion. This is true even though they own all that natural gas that Europe feels it should be able to buy.

Lithuania in alliance with its neighbors is also discussing a new reactor.

Bulgaria announced last week that it is awarding the construction contract for its new reactor to Russia.

I think the committee's contention that a "true" analysis of deaths from Chernobyl would end the nuclear energy industry immediately is a little bit over-confident, but then again, one cannot expect these people to make sober and rational analyses of cause and effect. After all, hundreds of millions of people have been killed in connection with activities related to fossil fuels in the last century and nobody is doing anything to shut that industry down. In fact there are many people here lobbying to continue it while we all await the grand renewable future, four million deaths per year notwithstanding. In fact the "European Committee on Radiation Risk" doesn't even acknowledge that those deaths occurred.

One wonders continuously how stupid and fraudulent the anti-nuclear movement can get, but there seems to be no limit. It really doesn't matter anymore though. It's not like nuclear power is being shut down. Nobody apparently gives a flying fuck what these people represent.

3. Yeah, I think you should write...
Make sure "The European Committee on Radiation Risk" is clearly visible, though: By a mind-numbing coincidence, 'Avenue de la Fauconnerie 73' is also home to the European Renewable Energies Federation, the European Solar Thermal Power Industry Association, and the World Wind Energy Association, who may not be as open to your ideas is the totally independent European Committee on Radiation Risk.

Nor should you worry about the site being set up by Gratten Healy. I'm sure it's a totally different Gratten Healy to the fervent anti-nuclear campainer who worries about HAARP brain-rays altering your memory.

4. Oh my goodness!!! And he has an MBA too!!!
I thought I knew all of the famous radiation paranoid types, Sternglass, Caldicott, Nader, etc, but this isn't a guy of whom I've heard.

Of course, his position on HAARP brain-rays - and I never realized before that the government has been erasing my memory - doesn't have any implications about his knowledge of the death of everyone in the Ukraine, Belarus, Sweden, Scotland and Canada as a result of Chernobyl, any more than Ralph Nader's Jack T. Ripper type campaign against fluoridated water had any bearing on his 1970's anti-nuke position but still...

That's hilarious. Thanks for that note. You made my evening.

:rofl:
