Plutonium from Sellafield in all children’s teeth

In the late 1990s researchers collected more than 3,000 molars extracted from young teenagers across the country during dental treatment and analysed them. To their surprise they found traces of plutonium in all the teeth including those from children in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Alarmingly, they discovered that those living closer to Sellafield had more than twice the amount of those living 140 miles away.

  1. That study was done in the 1990s. The windscale disaster was the fifties. There is a lot of plutonium in Europe. Some of it dribbles into the english channel from the used-nuclear-fuel-plutonium plant on the coast of France. They just lie and lie about it all!

  2. There is a simmering nuclear poisoning, of the world going on.
    The radionuclide pollution, began destabilizing the human genome almost three generations ago. It normally takes ten generations to destroy a species , when all of the species has mutated germ-lines.
    Destructive mutations play out to mass birth defects and infertility
    That may play out on a mondo planet scale soon from fossil fuel exraction, burning and nuclear power plant explosions and nuclear waste fires.

    The radionuclides are poisoning the life support system, by pushing the oceans past the tipping point.
    The radionuclide pollution is disabling large swaths of populations, in highly competitive-unsustainable, growth dependent , capitalist societies .Their answer is to push and expand , fossil fuel based growth which entails radionuclide based pollution harder and faster.
