Save Tahiti Monument to Atomic Test Victims!

June 26, 2014 By Trisha Leave a Comment

Gaston Floss, president of French Polynesia,  plans to destroy the sacred monument to the victims of French nuclear tests known as the “Place du 2 juliet 1966” (located in Papeete, the capital of Tahiti). Why? To support former French President Jacques Chirac (and, I believe, to erase the memory of the human toll of these tests). Chirac… Read More »

March 26, 2014 By Trisha Leave a Comment

Bo Jacobs eloquently described Downwinders’ feeling of invisibility in his recent three-part essay “Radiation Makes People Invisible.” I wrote a few reactions last week; here are more. You must read Dr. Jacob’s essay.

Where the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster’s Victims are Three Years Later

It was the world’s largest nuclear accident since the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. And after three years, significant discharge of radiation continues to be released into the environment. Fukushima Evacuees Some… Read More »

February 19, 2014 By Trisha Leave a Comment

I keep thinking about Fukushima and the new report  in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives on what countries should do to help exposed populations after a nuclear disaster. I wish this report had been in the hands of officials entrusted with the safety of Fukushima Downwinders! Of course I am here in the US and can’t know… Read More »

Nuclear Reactor Emergency! What Now?

February 10, 2014 By Trisha Leave a Comment

Fukushima taught us important lessons—will we learn? I just read a new, well-researched report[1] from the Environmental Health Prospectives that provides guidelines for the key steps authorities must take as soon as possible after a nuclear reactor accident releases radiation downwind.  Everyone should know these things! 1. Create an Exposure Roster:  Make a complete list of everyone… Read More »
