Nuclear Power Continues To Break Records In Safety And Generation
Energy Northwest in Richland, WA, which operates the only nuclear power plant in the region, the Columbia Generating Station, has earned the American Public Power Association’s Safety Award of Excellence for safe operating practices in 2020. Not to men…
Veterans Affairs Knows How To Distribute The COVID Vaccine
As of 3/20, VHA has delivered over 3 million COVID-19 vaccine doses have been given to over 2 million veterans, VA employees, health care workers and support personnel, this out of about 9 million veterans enrolled in the VA health care programs and ab…
Why Japan’s Response To Fukushima Radiation Failed While Utah’s Response Succeeded
Japan used LNT-generated fear of radiation to force harmful actions on its people after Fukushima, while Utah took scientifically-based actions after numerous above-ground nuclear tests dropped three times the amount of radioactive materials as Fukushi…
Microbes In The Gut Are Protective Against Radiation Damage
Researchers at the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center have shown that mice exposed to potentially lethal levels of total body radiation were protected from radiation damage if they had specific types of bacteria in their gut, specifically Lachn…
Could Low Doses Of Radiation Raise COVID-19 Survival Rates?
Low-dose radiation to the lungs is the best therapy to reduce the mortality rates from COVID-19. It reduces the cytokine storm – the deadly uncontrolled systemic inflammatory response of the body, flooding the lungs and killing the patient. It’s why we…
COVID-19 Kills More Americans Every Week Than All Radiation Deaths In World History
Every week of September, more Americans died from Covid-19 than died from radiation in all of world history, including WWII. But low level radiation is a great treatment for Covid. So fear of radiation is preventing saving people’s lives and not enough…
Engineering Solutions May Work Better On Coronavirus Than Social Ones
Americans are not good at following rules. Better to engineer our society so contaminated air isn’t allowed to flow between people. Just like water-borne epidemics were stopped over the last hundred years by building clean water and sewer systems.
If Extremophile Bacteria Can Live In Nuclear Reactors Maybe They Can Help Us Make Vaccines
Extremophiles like the bacterium D. radiodurans that can withstand levels of radiation thousands of times what most animals can, are able to help us make vaccines faster, cheaper and safer. They use special molecular protectors to shield their repair p…
Preliminary Data Suggests Low-Dose Radiation May Be Successful Treatment For Severe Covid-19
Human medical trials have begun on severely ill COVID-19 patients using low-doses of radiation. The first results on a very small group at Emory University Hospital were published this week and the results were quite extraordinary.
Researchers Explore Low Doses Of Radiation To Treat Severe Coronavirus Cases
Low-dose radiation to the lungs may be a good therapy to reduce the mortality rates from COVID-19. The virus causes a cytokine storm – an uncontrolled systemic inflammatory response of the body that floods the lungs and kills the patient. Low doses of …
