VIDEO: RALLY AT JONESBOROUGH, TN: ... voices in the struggle against DU munitions


"RALLY at Jonesborough, TN:"
"... voices in the struggle against DU munitions"






PART OF UNITED FOR PEACE & JUSTICE OCT. 27, 2007
NATIONWIDE ACTIONS AGAINST THE IRAQ WAR

This 22-minute documentary video was filmed Wes Rehberg
(c) 2007 Wild Clearing

Featured are talks from rally organizer Linda Modica; Vietnam and Iraq war veteran Herbert Reed (DU victim); Caren Neile - storyteller; veteran and conscientious objector Tim Pluta (also DU victim); clips from the protest at Aerojet Ordnance - DU munitions producer; and music from Robert Baldwin, filmmaker and songwriter.

The video may also be viewed in an improved Flash version at this Wild Clearing web page ...

    Dear Sir,
    From the first atom bomb in New Mexico 1945, everyone has
    man-made isotopes in their DNA. All of us eat, drink and
    breath it every day. As long as it pays the bills, you can murder
    the whole world. Depleted uranium and nuclear power was the
    most lethal mistake mankind made.All we can do now is
    stop it from getting worse!

    The aim of nuclear power is spent fuel rods (nuclear waste) from
    which weapons are made. Atom bombs, easier are dirty bombs,
    so-called depleted uranium ordinance, not electricity, That is why
    30 sovereign countries have nuclear power.

    Dr. John Gofman says there is no safe dose of man-made ionizing
    radiation. We should not add to it with new nuclear power plants.
    Nuclear power is the most dangerous form of electricity. It is the
    heat which makes steam that powers electric generators. Albert
    Einstein once said, "Nuclear power is one hell of a way to boil
    water".

    Liability is paid by the tax payer under the Price/Anderson Act.
    Electric rate payers subsidize nuclear power and waste disposal.
    There is big money and political power in nuclear waste, in killing
    people, in a toxic regime. Nuclear power pollutes the environment
    and will not stop global warming according to studies.

    The Roy Process is photon transmutation to zero radioactivity.
    This includes uranium 238, most of DU before it is exploded
    and can create electricity from the heat produced.

    In 1979, Roy announced his transmutation process and received international attention. The Roy process does not require storage of radioactive materials. No new equipment is required. In fact, all of the equipment and the chemical separation processes needed are well known.

    What`s the basis for the Roy Process? If you examine radioactive elements such as strontium 90, cesium 137 and plutonium 239, you will see that they all have too many neutrons. To put it very simply, the Roy process transmutes these unstable isotopes to stable ones by knocking out the extra neutrons. When a neutron is removed, the resulting isotope has a considerably shorter half-life which then decays to a stable form in a reasonable amount of time.

    How do we knock out neutrons? By bombarding them with photons (produced as x-rays) in a high- powered electron linear accelerator. Before this process, the isotopes must be separated by a well-known chemical process.

    It is feasible that portable units could be built and transported to hazardous sites for on-site transmutation of nuclear wastes and radioactive wastes.

    To give an example, cesium 137 with a half-life of 30.17 years is transformed into cesium 136 with a half-life of 13 days. Plutonium 239 with a half-life of 24,300 years is transformed into plutonium 237 with a half-life of 45.6 days. Subsequent radioactive elements which will be produced from the decay of plutonium 237 can be treated in the same way as above until the stable element is formed.
