Many children are dying and suffering from terriblediseases due to low dose internal radiation exposure around the world. Low dose radiationeffects on children have been extensively studied by many independentscientists globally.
Children are negativelyaffected by low dose radiation in many ways. The following is a brief summarypresented by scientists who have studied this extensively after Chernobyl:

Children’s Radionuclides Syndrome Discovered
Yuri Bandazhevsky, a scientist and medical researcher,discovered and proved that a new radiation disease exists, which hecalls the Long Term Incorporated Radionuclides Syndrome.
This is a totally new disease that did not exist beforemanmade radiation came onto the scene, due to ‘accidental’ releases fromnuclear power plants and atomic weapons testing. Of course, the nuclear industry and nuclear apologists universally deny the existence or possibility of this even happening.
According to researchers, Radionuclides Syndrome is a disease of the heart, due toa toxic loading of radioactive Cesium in the heart muscle. As the Cesium collects andconcentrates in the heart muscle, it causes problems there. (It is well knownthat radioactive cesium is absorbed by muscles, including the heart muscle,because the body thinks that radioactive Cesium is potassium.)
The normal level of cesium in children is ZERO Bq perkilogram of cesium. This ‘safe’ level of cesium was established by Nature over millionsof years of evolution.
An internal radiation load of 50 bq per kilogram meansthat for ever 1 kilogram of the child’s weight, 500 atoms disintegrate everysecond, above the normal background rate. The disintegration effect fromcesium, (inside the heart muscle) has a negative effect on children’s health..
10,000 radiations are thrown out every second forchildren with 10,000 Bq per kg of internal radiation. Children around Chernobylexposed to low dose radiation have been measured with 10,000 Bq of Cesiuminternal radiation.
After about 50 Bq/kg, a child’s heart will be found (if properly examined) to have lesionsdeveloping. At a rate higher than that, he found that the child can diesuddenly for no obvious reason, or have heart attacks, strokes, or other healthproblems around the heart.
Yuri has presented over 400 scientific papers, and hasbeen honored with five awards. After he formally announced to the world hisresearch results above, he was charged by the Russian government withcorruption. No proof was presented at the military trial, ruled over by threemilitary judges. Yuri was found guilty by this military tribunal and sentencedto eight years in jail and hard labor. This was later reduced to house arrest,after pressure was applied from human justice organizations outside Russia.
80% of Children In Belarus Have Health Issues
Belarus is located near the site of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. This area was contaminated by low level radiation from the Chernobyl accident, much like Fukushima Province was contaminated in Japan.The future of children’s health in Japan can potentially be predicted by what is happening in Belarus today. After all, these children have been studied for over 30 years.
Only 15 to 20 out of 100 children in Belarus aredeclared healthy at birth today. These health statistics are getting WORSE, notbetter. According to a hospital nurse,the problems are getting WORSE and more numerous each year.
Before Chernobyl, 80 out of100 children were declared healthy at birth. Now that statistic has been completely reversed. Only 1 or 2 children out of ten that are born are born healthy.
What is the explanation for thiscatastrophically high rate of deformities, health problems and infectionspresent at birth? And why are the numbers of problems increasing, notdecreasing? The studies and articles below will help to explain this.

“BAD NEWS ABOUT LOW-LEVEL RADIATION”
If a person will go into these studies, they will more than likely find that there is a pattern that is inescapable and repetitive. The results keep repeating themselves, no matter where the radiation is found, or which population is studied.
But, some people still manage to disagree with all of the above evidence that low dose INTERNAL radiation causes harm. They go even further, and state that NO EVIDENCE EXISTS of internal radiation causing harm.
How ‘Authorities’ Mislead The Public And Downplay TheDangers
But, some people still manage to disagree with all of the above evidence that low dose INTERNAL radiation causes harm. They go even further, and state that NO EVIDENCE EXISTS of internal radiation causing harm.
How ‘Authorities’ Mislead The Public And Downplay TheDangers
The IAEA, UN, WHO, NRC and other pro-nuclear agencies,scientific experts and pro nuclear politicians representing the nuclearindustry have NO EXPLANATION for this public health crisis, other than blamingthe victims of this low dose radiation for causing their own illnesses withphobias, worries and ‘stress’.
The pro nuclear monopoly believes that internal radiationcauses absolutely no harm whatsoever, despite all of the scientific and medicalevidence to the contrary. In most cases, they refuse to even talk about, muchless present this information at their industry symposiums, associationmeetings, safety meetings and/or community meetings.
Ask a pro-nuclear industry ‘expert’ about internalradiation and it’s effects on health. The odds are very high indeed that theywill either refuse to talk with you about this issue, dismiss all studies aboutit, or call anyone studying this issue a quack, charlatan or a fraud, no matterwhat their expertise, experience or industry reputation as a doctor, biologist,etc. http://video.google.com/videoplaydocid=8746168177815160826&?hl=en
NHK reported the risk of internal exposure in June 2009
Yuri reported that statistics about children getting sickfrom radiation around Chernobyl have not been and still are not beingshared with ANYONE in the nuclear community; not the UN, not the WHO, notanyone else in the nuclear community, not with the education community and notwith the public, via the mass media, much of which in the US is owned by GE, anuclear power plant builder. Could there be some bias or built in conflict ofinterest here?
The official final draft coming out of the nuclearconference never mentions that new research is being done on low dose radiationand does not recommend that any research be done in this area. The conferenceof nuclear experts never voted to accept any new research for low dose radiation,despite much evidence and urging from civilian doctors and scientists gatheredthere from around the world. Is this evidence of a coverup? Or could it beevidence of a very deep state of denial? Judge for yourself, and watch thevideo…

“From 1957 to 1978, scientists secretly removed bonesamples from over 21,000 dead Australians as they searched for evidence of thedeadly poison, Strontium 90 – a by-product of nuclear testing. The movie‘Silent Storm’ reveals the story behind this astonishing case of officiallysanctioned ‘body-snatching’. Set against a backdrop of the Cold War, the sagafollows celebrated scientist, Hedley Marston, as he attempts to blow thewhistle on radioactive contamination and challenge official claims that Britishatomic tests posed no threat to the Australian people. Marston’s findings arenot only disputed, he is targeted as ‘a scientist of counter-espionageinterest’. In 2001, tons of human bones were found in Melbourne, contaminatedby Strontium 90, a toxic residue of nuclear weapon tests in Australia.

United States; Three Mile Island And Low Dose RadiationEffects On Children
The official figures are too low to account for the acutehealth effects reported by some local residents and documented in twobooks;[5][6] such health effects require exposure to at least 100,000millirems (100 rems) to the whole body – 1000 times more than the officialestimates.[7] The reported health effects are consistent with high dosesof radiation, and comparable to the experiences of cancer patients undergoingradio-therapy,.[8] but have many other potential causes.[7] Theeffects included “metallic taste, erythema, nausea, vomiting,diarrhea, hair loss, deaths of pets and farm and wild animals, and damage toplants.”[9] Some local statistics showed dramatic one-year changesamong the most vulnerable: “In Dauphin County, where the Three Mile Islandplant is located, the 1979 death rate among infants under one year representeda 28 percent increase over that of 1978, and among infants under one month, thedeath rate increased by 54 percent.”[4] Physicist ErnestSternglass, a specialist in low-level radiation, noted these statistics inthe 1981 edition of his book Secret Fallout: low-level radiation fromHiroshima to Three-Mile Island.
Scientific work continued in the 1980s, but focusedheavily on the mental health effects due to stress,[4] as the KemenyCommission had concluded that this was the sole public healtheffect.[12] A 1984 survey by a local psychologist of 450 local residents,documenting acute radiation health effects (as well as 19 cancers 1980-84amongst the residents against an expected 2.6[9]), ultimately led the TMIPublic Health Fund reviewing the data[13] and supporting a comprehensiveepidemiological study by a team at Columbia University.[8]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Mile_Island_accident_health_effects
US Low Dose Radiation Deaths
An estimated 14,000 excess deaths in the United Statesare linked to the radioactive fallout from the disaster at the Fukushimanuclear reactors in Japan, according to a major new article in the December2011 edition of the International Journal of Health Services. This is the firstpeer-reviewed study published in a medical journal documenting the healthhazards of Fukushima. Authors Joseph Mangano and Janette Sherman note thattheir estimate of 14,000 excess U.S. deaths in the 14 weeks after the Fukushimameltdowns is comparable to the 16,500 excess deaths in the 17 weeks after theChernobyl meltdown in 1986. The rise in reported deaths after Fukushimawas largest among U.S. infants under age one. The 2010-2011 increase forinfant deaths in the spring was 1.8 percent, compared to a decrease of 8.37percent in the preceding 14 weeks.
Science Explores How And Why Low Dose Radiation HarmsChildren
It is important to understand how the body responds toionizing radiation, natural or manmade. When a DNA strand is broken due toradiation damage, how does the body respond? From New Take On Impacts Of LowDose Radiation;
“…”Humans evolved in an environment with very low levelsof ionizing radiation, which makes it unlikely that a cell would suffer morethan one double strand break at any given time. A DNA repair center would seemto be an optimal way to deal with such sparse damage. It is like taking abroken car to a garage where all the equipment for repairs is available ratherthan to a random location with limited resources.
Time-lapse imaging of DNA damage response to radiationshows that 1.5 minutes after irradiation, the sizes and intensities ofradiation induced foci are comparable throughout the nucleus, but 30 minuteslater RIF have clustered into larger and brighter regions called DNA repaircenters. Researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s LawrenceBerkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), through a combination oftime-lapse live imaging and mathematical modeling of a special line of humanbreast cells, have found evidence to suggest that for low dose levels ofionizing radiation, cancer risks may not be directly proportional to dose. Thiscontradicts the standard model for predicting biological damage from ionizingradiation – the linear-no-threshold hypothesis or LNT – which holds that riskis directly proportional to dose at all levels of irradiation. ”
The human body is adapted and has evolved over tens ofthousands of years of being exposed to normal background radiation, just likeall life on the planet, which is designed the same way. Humans and animals canhandle the damage caused by this radiation exposure. But when a child’s body isexposed to chronic higher levels of low dose radiation for long periods oftime, this repair mechanism no longer functions as well and can getoverwhelmed. When the body is exposed to ionizing radiation from manmadesources that break multiple strands of DNA at the same time, the repairmechanism of the body gets overwhelmed. This results in DNA strands that end upbeing repaired incorrectly, or not at all.
“It is the same aswhen dozens of broken cars are brought to the same garage at once, the qualityof repair is likely to suffer,” Costes says.” Source: New Take on Impacts ofLow Dose Radiation”

Watch the video below about how and why radiation harmschildren and women more than anyone else, but the nuclear industry ignores thisand does not inform the public. In Japan, the evidence based on science isignored and actually attacked as being false, quackery or does not exist atall. In Japan, the ‘safe’ dose of radiation has been established for EVERYONEat 100 mSv per year. Watch the video to find out what the effects of thisamount of radiation are on children and women. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ywKv0dj3UuY
In this online audio interview and talk, Dr. HelenCaldicott MD (a pediatrician with deep knowledge of radiation dangers)continues to explain in an online audio interview with Arnie Gunderson that InFukushima, 3000 kids were tested, and 1000 had thyroid ‘lumps’. (Jan. 2012) Tofind lumps in children is extremely rare normally. The latent period for canceris very short, 1 year. Children are very sensitive to radiation. To know ifthis is cancer, you need to take the lumps out. A cyst can have cancer cells init.
A tumor is just a collection of cells. Probably quite afew of these are cancers. They are about 5 mm in size. Japanese doctors arejust monitoring them, waiting for the cancer to spread through the whole body.They could do a needle biopsy to find out what they are. This is medicallyirresponsible. At least they are starting to monitor them. This is only tenmonths in.. This predicts a real problem in the future.
They should have evacuated 250,000 to 500,000 people, andonly 100,000 people were actually evacuated. The rest were left in radiationcontaminated areas. 80% of radiation went offshore. Only 20% of total wentonshore to land. They were lucky. More than 1/2 of Japan where people live iscontaminated.
Small girls are five times more sensitive to radiationthan small boys. These girls are at great risk of getting cancer due toradiation doses of 20 mSv per year. A recent Frontline show about Fukushimaclaims this dose is ‘safe’ for kids and adults. They believed the nuclearapologists and did not investigate any further. One out of 500 people will getcancer at this dose. This risk is doubled every year, at this dose.
In five years, one out of 20 girls will end up withcancer during their lifetime. This process of increasing radiation risk andodds of getting cancer keeps going up, for each year that they are exposed tothis level of radiation…. This cancer risk is ON TOP Of the normal odds ofgetting cancer in a lifetime; 1 in 3 in US.
