FEAR OF A NUCLEAR HARVEST

In the year 2013, we are still living under the radiated cloud left behind by the cold war. It is unfortunate that the political climate has focused on pseudoscience with a manufactured crisis about climate change because one of the most pressing issues that barely gets press is all of the nuclear waste and threats that exist when nuclear power plants fail during a power grid failure.

Back in 1950’s and 1960’s Americans were forced into getting used to nuclear bomb tests because of an arms race that was out of control. Both the Soviet Union and the United states had areas where nuclear tests were carried out routinely. The ‘nuclear genie’ was let out of the bottle and there are still victims today that are falling victim to what can be called the ‘nuclear harvest’.

There does not need to be a mushroom cloud present in order to know of the major threats that exist in contaminated areas around the world. While we all are fearing the possibility that some rouge nation may use the bomb to annihilate our country, it is the slow and silent death that comes from continuous exposure to radioactive waste and nuclear disasters like what happened at Chernobyl, the TEPCO Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Facility in Japan – and now we hear that the Hanford Nuclear Power Plant in the Pacific Northwest is now leaking contaminated water which poses a danger as it borders the Columbia River.
