3. CRISIS WITHOUT END Page 31 So, there must be something awry in humanity to have brought about the end of life on Earth, which includes our own — for us to be commit- ting humanicide. And for us to be blithely going about our days as if nothing is going on. Let us next look at what it might be that might make us want to die.

More recently, in 2016, there was another major leak at Hanford, of three thousand to three thousand five-hundred gallons. It was discovered and reported in April of that year. It was described as a “catastrophic” event. Hanford is the site where folks were making the plutonium for nuclear bombs. Oh, you want more?Wow, you’re a tough one.... Okay, well, Hanford has been called an American Fukushima and Physicians for Social Responsibility call it “the most contaminated nuclear site in the world.” Now, how much did they tell you about these developments on the nightly news amid their incisive reports on new innovations in education or the like. Oh, I must tell you that my local news reported several times a few nights ago, with actual interviews, several-minute reports on a young man’s apartment having been ransacked and his friend’s ashes having been spilled from its urn. Yes, we have time on our airwaves for all the “pressing” and important developments of our day. *sarcasm* I. APOCALYPSE AND INSANITY Page 30

I. APOCALYPSE AND INSANITY Page 30 …giddy with optimism after that, keep in mind that there have been many nuclear waste leaks over the years, into the environment, never reclaimed, bound to make it into the ecosystem in due course. The American Fukushima They Hide from You, Coming to You One alone, which happened at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in Washington State, a half century ago, involved a leakage of over four- hundred thousands of gallons. It went on for a long time before it was even discovered to have happened. But there have been many other leaks at Hanford. Helen Caldicott (2009) writes, “The DOE calculates that 450 billion gallons ... of radioactive waste has been ‘released’ into the ground, some of which is approaching or has entered the Columbia River.”3 From there it will be distributed to the rest of the world, in due course. Not bad enough, there has been a tendency for those in the know to cover these matters up and to delete documents related to it. In one instance alone, the General Accounting Office undertook an investigation in 1991 of the “mysterious disappearance” of key documents that calculated the leaks from the radioactive waste tanks.

And it will not go away. From nuclear power plants alone, radioactive elements have been released and will induce epidemics of cancer, leukemia, and genetic disease for hundreds and thousands of years, if there are any humans left at that point. Ralph Nader called plutonium “the most toxic substance known to mankind.” However, since then, 1995, the Japanese have claimed to have created an even more toxic substance. Put that in your #thanksalot folder, won’t you? According to the Nuclear Information and Resource Service, “Each one-thousand megawatt nuclear power reactor annually produces about five-hundred pounds of plutonium, and about thirty metric tons of high- level waste in the form of irradiated fuel. After several years, when removed from the reactor core, the fuel is about one million times more radioactive than when it was loaded. This irradiated fuel is currently stored at the reactor sites.”2 So, each of the four hundred and forty-four reactors produces five hundred pounds of plutonium a year and only about two pounds of it is enough to end humanity. Some two hundred and twenty-two thousand pounds of plutonium per year is created in the nuclear waste of reactors and a mere two of those pounds is enough to kill us all off. If you are still… 3.

Let’s take the more commonly explored component of that waste, plutonium. It has a half-life of twenty-five-thousand years or more, and needs to be guarded that entire time. Plutonium, in fact, is still deadly for five-hundred-thousand years or more. To further make your day, pluto- nium is so deadly that less than one kilogram of it distributed to everyone in the world would kill everyone. According to Helen Caldicott, one- millionth of a gram of it will induce cancer if inhaled into the lungs. It combines with the iron-transferring protein, transferrin, and causes leukemia, bone cancer, liver cancer, and multiple myeloma. It also concentrates in the ovaries and testicles and that way results in genetic diseases and cancer in any generations after us. However, you don’t have to wait for these glorious occurrences. For radioactivity gets into the developing fetus you or your partner perhaps is carrying right now and causes congenital abnormalities because it is teratogenic. This is not future horror. From Chernobyl alone there are medical facilities brimming with children with previously unseen deformities, according to Caldicott. And it will not go away.

With the possibilities of earthquakes and tidal waves rising, because of the other brutalities we are committing against the Earth — climate change, fracking, and so on — none of these current one hundred and three plants in the U.S. are safe, and they never completely were. This is even without mentioning the already certain rise in sea levels due to climate change, which will affect the reactors built upon our shores. Crisis Without End Furthermore, all of these nuclear plants — these four hundred and forty- four in the world — emanate at least some radiation, and all are in danger of even greater leaks and meltdowns, and all have no way of disposing of their nuclear waste, which amounts to two thousand to two thousand three hundred metric tons per year, with each individual plant contrib- uting approximately twenty metric tons a year. Of this waste, one of its fission products, Tc-99, has a half-life of two-hundred and twenty… I. APOCALYPSE AND INSANITY Page 28

I. APOCALYPSE AND INSANITY Page 28 U.S. is the largest nuclear energy producer, generating thirty-three percent of all that is produced in the world. Our one hundred and three plants continue to leak radiation — for all reactors leak some radiation all the time — and they pose threats of catastrophic meltdowns at any time. Many are constructed in dangerous areas, along ocean shores, just like Fukushima was — Diablo Canyon and San Onofre in California, for example — as well as along fault lines. Diablo Canyon Power Plant near San Luis Obispo, California, qualifies on that count as well. While San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station has been decom- missioned and was permanently shut down after Fukushima and because of safety issues of its own that were discovered at that time, highly radioactive nuclear waste is still stored there — near fault lines and along the ocean shore — and there are no plans at this time to do anything about that problem. The four thousand tons of nuclear waste, presently in “wet storage” for cooling — cooling which will take five years — are to be stored in “more permanent” canisters right next to the Pacific Ocean. These monoliths with five-eighth inch thick steel walls inside, lining the concrete exteriors, are acknowledged to be susceptible to corrosion, admittedly cannot be inspected for cracks, and even if cracks could be detected, experts concede there would be no way to fix them.1 Insanity, no? Well, hopefully we have those “meek” tardigrades inheriting the Earth.

More than one hundred orders for nuclear power reactors, many already under construction, were cancelled, bankrupting some companies. Oh, and please, only the tiniest of violins on that one. Summarizing: Until 2012, there were no more applications to build a plant in the United States. Five are only now under construction, and even they are at sites where other reactors already are. No new ground has been broken for reactors since our action, and thirty-three reactors have been permanently shut down. This is an environmental success story I’m sure you’ve never heard. For in whose corporate interest would it be to announce how the nuclear industry was taken out at the knees by a ragtag bunch of activists in the hippie haven of Eugene, Oregon? Who would be inspired by such a story? Well certainly not anyone corporations would want to inspire. But, I’ll tell you about it. Nevertheless, however stunning and effective our result, our action did not shut down all the plants in operation in the United States. There are still one hundred and three continually pumping out exorbitant amounts of radiation and nuclear waste in the U.S. as you read this. The… 3. CRISIS WITHOUT END Page 27

Caldicott, who is a physician as well as a world-renowned nuclear and environmental activist and an author on the subject who has been active on the issue for forty years now, says Fukushima will have medical implications like Chernobyl, which contaminated forty percent of Europe. And which has directly resulted in the deaths of over one million people, according to the New York Academy of Scientists. Similarly, Caldicott says, Fukushima will induce an epidemic of cancer. Now, Fukushima is in addition to the four hundred and forty-four nuclear power plants still operating in the world. Note also that at this time there are sixty-three more under construction and they operate in thirty countries. I mentioned how the activism we undertook in Springfield and Eugene, Oregon, in 1983 virtually ended nuclear power plant construction in the United States after that. Because of the lawsuit we brought, which created the bond default in Springfield, which spread throughout all the other communities in the Northwest United States, investors have shied away from considering nuclear energy for economic reasons.

Second, Fukushima alone — being so dire, so catastrophic that neither nations nor news reports are brave enough to face the issue — is an extinction-level event, continuing to radiate the planet even now. Helen Caldicott (2014) reports it is not over and will not end for many millennia. The radioactive fallout from the catastrophe covers huge areas of Japan already, and they will remain toxic for hundreds of thousands of years, according to experts. Fukushima cannot be “cleaned up” ... it will continue to contami- nate humans, food, and planetmates. The three Fukushima reactors that experienced total meltdowns, according to Caldicott, will never be able to be disassembled or decommissioned. The Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), which is the owner and operator of nuclear power plants in Japan, including Fukushima, says such an undertaking would take them a minimum of thirty to forty years. So it is unlikely they will ever be able to do it. Meanwhile, the IAEA (International Atomic Energy… I. APOCALYPSE AND INSANITY Page 26

I. APOCALYPSE AND INSANITY Page 26 Nuclear Radiation, Nuclear Power, and Humanicide If you have a problem with the notion that it is all life that is at risk, as most people do and do not want to know otherwise, remember that, first off, virtually no life can live in an environment of radiation. As I pointed out, the tardigrades, those microscopic “water bears,” are the only known biological beings who are able to survive radioactive habitats. They not only survive inside the radiation of volcanos but can live in the cold and irradiated vacuum of space. No doubt this was the stimulus for the recent (2016) episode of Star Trek: Discovery which had one particularly large, cow-sized tardigrade surviving while floating in space. With tardigrades’ unique resiliency, they might actually be the forebears of any life forms who survive the apocalypse we are bringing down on all other life on Earth. Being as how they can survive space, it might be some evolved version of them, not us, who makes it to explore the stars. I have this amazing vision of tardigrade descendants moving and maneuvering in space like we do in water. As bizarre as that sounds, an episode of the television show Vice dealt with tardigrades being extraterrestrial. The point is that it is only such a unique and rare, possibly extraterrestrial type of organism that could survive what we are bringing down upon ourselves. As for the rest of life on Earth, no dice.
