Los Alamos Worker Blows the Whistle on Radiation Poisoning of Workers

HALF-LIFE

Chad Walde believed in his work at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Then he got a rare brain cancer linked to radiation, and the government denied it had any responsibility.

by Rebecca Moss, The Santa Fe New Mexican

” . . . Chad and his co-workers said safety problems continued. They witnessed accidents and heard the sudden, unexpected blare of radiation alarms. They watched crews come in to decontaminate buildings and run radiation detectors over their hands and feet. They had their limbs scrubbed and clothing replaced. Sometimes days would pass before anyone realized contamination had spread. Many workers say their memories of poor work conditions and high personal radiation readings don’t match the government’s scant records.

In addition to Chad, at least four others on his maintenance crew had been diagnosed with cancer in the past five years.”

” . . . Out of a fear of liability, the famed nuclear scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer, who served as the lab’s first director, mandated that health records be labeled top secret . . . “

More on Los Alamos nuke dump wildfire is on ENE-News.   They are following the after effects of the fire and the danger of burned, contaminated topsoil washing away in rains to the Rio Grande.

Nothing to look at here, Test results show Plutonium-239, Americium-241 and Cesium-137 levels in air around Los Alamos

Move Along.

What the Hell is Americium-241?   And do the firefighters and other New Mexico workers know the medical counter-measues? Do their doctors??

 

‘Monsoon rain could flood Los Alamos with contaminants’

Willem Malten from the Los Alamos Study Group says that although the town of Los Alamos which is still one of the United States’ most active nuclear weapons facilities has escaped the threat of a fierce wildfire, a new natural phenomenon is now threatening the local communities.

Now monsoon rains threaten to flood whole communities with contaminants such as plutonium, uranium and mercury, he said in an interview with Press TV’s U.S. Desk on Wednesday.

He said “there is a frantic community effort under way with mainly Native Americans sandbagging their own homelands while the [The Los Alamos National] Laboratory just removed 12,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil from the canyons.”

Contaminated soil a concern at Los Alamos lab 

Following a massive wildfire, crews at the Los Alamos National Laboratory have begun removing contaminated soil from nearby canyons out of a concern that flash flooding could wash toxins into the Rio Grande, officials said on Monday. . . .   [!!!!]  

Los Alamos National Laboratory has closed all publicly accessible trails on lab property and shut access to West Road, which leads from the Los Alamos town site into Los Alamos Canyon.

Nuthin’ to look at here, folks! Move along!

And just to show how much they know about green energy – Japan is suddenly going to collaborate with new green-energy pal, Los Alamos nuke lab & dump to create a ‘proto-type’ smart grid. All in a bid to save everybody energy and make a happy planet. No secret, illegal weapons work goin’ on here. No. Not at all.

Move along.

2 MORE FIRES at Los Alamos Nuke Dump/Lab

Caused by lightning –

[snip] . . . .   Wildland firefighters battled more than just the usual Nevada brush blaze this week. They had to contend with the possibility of radiation.

Lightning sparked two fires Tuesday within the Nevada National Security Site, the former nuclear test site 65 miles northwest of Las Vegas. By Friday, the fires had consumed more than 6,000 acres, with the smaller blaze fully contained and the larger only 25 percent contained. . . .
