[Sustainers/content/articleleftcolumn.htm] Nov 8, 1999 More Nuclear Disasters By Saul Landau The Lesson Unlearned "We have contained the spread of radiation from last week's nuclear accident," Japanese authorities assured their citizens. They blame the chain reaction on improper handling of materials by low level workers. As if that explanation will sedate the Japanese public! The Japanese know all too well the long term effects of radiation on human health - thanks to their experience with atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. More recently, we have the Chernobyl nuclear plant explosion in the Ukraine. Ukranian children still suffer from radiation sickness and people in the path of the fallout for thousands of miles learned the horrible lessons of a nuclear "accident." Then came the Three Mile Island miscue in the United States. Remember how authorities there swore they had contained the damage when they had not? Last month a Hanford Washington reactor developed a scary radioactive bubble. Authorities assured the public no danger existed. Mention Marion, Ohio, Paducah, Kentucky two of many memory triggers that recall nuclear mishaps. In the 1970s Cincinnati General Hospital doctors used a Pentagon grant to "treat" cancer patients with whole body radiation. The Pentagon wanted to find out how people would respond in nuclear battlefield conditions. From 1945-1971, the nuclear gang dumped radioactive waste in barrels into the ocean. The barrels have leaked. Recall the above ground tests at the Marshall Islands and other Pacific Atolls, causing terrible human sufferingin the name of National Security, under the façade of fighting the Cold War. The nuclear gang classified information that would have alerted the public to health dangers.

"If the U.S. imperialists ignite a war on the Korean Peninsula, the war will turn into a nuclear war," Rodong said. "As a consequence, the Koreans in the north and south and the people in Asia and the rest of the world will suffer horrifying nuclear disasters." The report, carried by the North's state-run KCNA news agency, claimed that Washington put its forces around the peninsula on "semi-war footing" and "is pushing ahead with nuclear war preparations in full swing." Pyongyang accuses Washington of inciting the nuclear standoff as a pretext for an invasion. Washington has repeatedly said it has no plans to attack North Korea, but stresses that "all options are on the table." In Seoul on Sunday, North Korea's religious and civic leaders urged greater cooperation between the two Koreas to prevent war during joint inter-Korean religious masses.

Environmental disasters do not recognise man-made borders, and threaten the legacy left to future generations of a clean and supportive environment. Because of the interdependency of earth ecosystems international co-operation is paramount to prevent, and when disaster strikes, respond to relieve quickly and effectively the effects of environmental disasters. Figure 6-1 illustrates how one hazard such as deforestation can impact the ecosystem and generate other potential natural disasters such as landslides, and floods, as well as replenishment of the atmosphere and global warming. This chapter discusses the use of MCDA in providing environmental disaster relief support. Although the focus is on responding to sudden on-set disasters, preventure aspects will also be discussed throughout the chapter.

Nuclear Weapons Management Global Concerns A Special Role for India Admiral L Ramdas 15 Nov 2004 Introduction Hiroshima, Nagasaki and the termination of World War II ushered in the race for acquiring nuclear weapons. The United States was soon followed by, the Soviet Union, United Kingdom, France and China. During the cold war period India had taken a principled stand to force these countries to work towards total nuclear disarmament Without going into the virtues or otherwise of possessing the Bomb; now having acquired the capability to harm millions in the neighbourhood including ourselves, we need to take a hard look at the challenge this poses and to evolve a safety regime which will at least reduce if not totally eradicate the horrors of yet another nuclear war, or nuclear disaster or accident. The Aim of this Paper This short paper is an attempt to face the realities as they exist today and to see how best to manage the existing regional and global situation. It will also examine briefly a potential role for India in enabling a workable, non- discriminatory safety regime which will be acceptable to all the main players in this game. The Existing Situation In addition to the five Nuclear Weapon States, India and Pakistan; both Israel and North Korea are also believed to possess these weapons. Inspite of repeated efforts by almost all the non nuclear weapon states to persuade the Nuclear Weapon States to commence nuclear disarmament in accordance with Art 6 of the NPT, they have failed. Nor is there any likelihood of this happening in the foreseeable future.

The North’s official Rodong Sinmun newspaper accused America’s Central Intelligence Agency of preparing a surprise attack on the communist country’s nuclear facilities. “If the US imperialists ignite a war on the Korean Peninsula, the war will turn into a nuclear war.

Dutchess Urges Calm in Face of Catastrophe by Nik Bonopartis from March 9 2003 online issue of Poughkeepsie Journal If disaster strikes and Indian point releases radioactive plumes into the air, Dutchess County government wants its residents to sit tight. Dutchess-once tapped as a reception point for refugees from New York City and Westchester and Putnam counties-sits within the 50-mile radius of the power plant, but outside the 10-mile zone the government would evacuate during a nuclear disaster. County response to a nuclear emergency would be focused on the "ingestive pathway" plan, which seeks to protect livestock and agricultural products. Officials would monitor radiation levels and test local products like milk, wine and vegetables, county emergency coordinator DeWitt Segendorph said. Ken Davidson, the county's chief deputy emergency coordinator, said any further decisions would be made with state and federal emergency authorities. Monitoring teams on the ground and in helicopters would sample air particles to determine the threat posed to people, he said.

The secondary mission of the EMA is to restore public services and to expedite the recovery and rehabilitation of individuals in the event of large-scale disasters. These objectives are met by conducting coordinated operations throughout the four phases of Emergency Management: mitigation preparedness response and recovery Mitigation: the process of eliminating or reducing the probability of occurrence of an emergency or disaster. Mitigation activities should be considered long before an emergency occurs. Preparedness: the planning stage which insures the most effective, efficient response, efforts to minimize damages and laying the groundwork for response operations. Preparedness is an "insurance policy " against emergencies. Response: provides emergency assistance for casualties, reduces the probability or extent of secondary damage and other measures that will enhance future recovery operations. Response is the first phase that occurs

Contents Previous Next 7 The Chernobyl disasters Its effect on Belarus and Ukraine David R. Marples Introduction The accident and its immediate aftermath The affected community Regeneration and recovery ... Media sources Introduction The Chernobyl disaster began at 1.23 a.m. on Saturday 26 April 1986, in a civilian nuclear power station of Kiev This chapter opens with an account of the background to Chernobyl and a summary of the immediate responses. The early dominant role of the Soviet Union's governmental apparatus is emphasized, including the limitations of President Mikhail Gorbachev's glasnost policy. The process of longer-term regeneration and recovery is then discussed in the context of the breakup of the Soviet system and the emergence of two of the new independent republics - Belarus and Ukraine. Similarities and differences among the approaches of various institutional actors and post-Soviet regimes are noted. Theoretical issues are the focus of the third section of the chapter. An outline model of nuclear power disasters is proposed, based on the experience of other disasters in the Soviet Union and the global nuclear power industry as well as Chernobyl. Finally, I offer a series of recommendations for improving recovery from nuclear accidents and other industrial emergencies. These include the creation of registries for populations in the vicinity of hazardous facilities, and an international system for providing expertise and material assistance in the event of disasters that involve advanced industrial technologies whose effects exceed existing national coping capacities. While there may be no adequate way to avoid surprises like Chernobyl, it is clear that the Chernobyl experience was made much worse by failures of the government and the ruling political party in the weeks and months after the accident, and by broader economic and political changes that began in the period 1986-1991 and continue into the severe economic crisis of the post-Soviet era.
