*** (1) First death from Tokaimura accident: Mr. Hisashi Ouchi:
***********************************************************************
Friends,
Here is a short report on the Tokaimura accident victim (below).
It should not go unnoted that poor Mr. Ouchi probably has been under severe
torture (if he has been conscious at all) for the past two months, as his
body's cells broke down from the severe radiation, and that there was
really no chance he would survive, nor is it likely the other two heavily
irradiated victims will, and this has been known from the start, but the
Japanese officials wanted to keep these men alive at all costs as long as
possible (preferably past Y2K) for obvious political reasons. [Note: A
knowledgeable contact tells us that the official severity of the Tokaimura
accident goes up one level because there now has been a fatality within the
first three months after the accident. This is what the authorities sought
to avoid. -- rdh] This was not the normal treatment one should expect
after a large-scale nuclear accident.
Mr. Ouchi was undoubtedly given treatments which would bankrupt any country
that had to do such things on a massive scale, and which furthermore could
simply not be done on a massive scale, because the equipment, the blood
components used, the staff, etc. are no more available than the money.
Besides the three highly irradiated souls, several dozen others were
somewhat irradiated (exact amounts are unknown). Their illnesses might not
show up for decades, and believe me, no nuclear official will notice their
deaths. Perhaps most -- even all -- will survive, but perhaps not. The
media will not pay any attention one way or the other.
100,000+ other people in the local community were slightly irradiated. Any
deaths among those people will be considered "statistically
insignificant". However, "statistically insignificant" can hide dozens or
even hundreds of deaths -- maybe more. Thousands, over the next 10 decades
or so, during the lifespans of everyone alive or conceived at the time of
the accident.
And the release went into the biosphere. So 6 billion others are
being irradiated, and any deaths that might come, scattered all around the
world in space and time, will go utterly unnoticed [except by the
individuals and those who love them] and be utterly denied by the nuclear
industry. The only deaths they ever see are the blatantly obvious ones --
Mr. Ouchi's, for instance.
All these deaths and all the suffering pales in comparison -- by many
orders of magnitude -- to what a full-blown nuclear accident at the
Tokaimura site or any other large nuclear facility (including spent fuel
pools) would be like. -- rdh

Re: Writing about D.U. (enclosed)

To Whom It May Concern:
Here is a letter I just sent out earlier today about D.U.. Now I learn of
Philip Berrigan and some of his friend's actions of today.
I have been trying to tell people about these dreadful weapons for some
time in my STOP CASSINI newsletter (at least 20 articles) and I do
earnestly appreciate the added publicity his actions give this case -- I
find it synergistic or perhaps, fortuitous that I had just finished trying
to explain (once again) the immorality of these weapons. I am not
recommending such actions as Mr. Berrigan committed -- it's for each person
to do what they can do. But as long as it happened, I hope that my writing
helps to illustrate in graphic detail why Mr. Berrigan's actions are in all
likelihood, wholly justified and unpunishable.

Re: Your post responding to D.U. report
Date: December 19th, 1999
Dear Mike Orton,
When I included the DU item in my newsletter, it was with the assumption
that the other items such as those listed in your post, may indeed be the
main reason for the illnesses. And it was with the assumption that the
cover-up of what Chemical and Biological weapons Iraq had continues, much
to the health detriment of our soldiers. AND it was with the assumption
that the explanation for the cover-up is this: The CIA (and their friends)
sold Iraq the chemical weapons, and knew Saddam had them!
All that is what I have assumed happened, because I've read a few books on
the subject, and watched a few shows on T.V., and heard some reports, and
read some emails, and visited some web sites, and so on. Maybe I'm wrong,
but that's what I think happened.
However, just because some people might think these other things didn't
happen, doesn't mean they're wrong about D. U.'s dangers.
If DU deaths are responsible for 10% of the health problems being suffered
by our soldiers, that is probably 100 times more than the point where it
ought to be considered a serious health problem. Maybe a 1000 times
more. Furthermore, if increased percentages of Iraqi babies are being born
deformed, and if for generations to come additional thousands are destined
to be born deformed, damaged from the rampant and
depleted-of-all-compassion-use of these weapons -- whether that damage is
from the radiation dangers or other dangers, chemical dangers which are
also quite serious -- that too is a serious subject for discussion. I'll
give you that D.U. makes a helluva weapon and I've never denied that, and
have explained some of the reasons to others (though you do so far better
than I, admittedly). It flies straight because it's 1.7 times heavier than
lead. It drives deep into steel (because it's HARD -- and because it's 1.7
times heavier than lead). It even drives deep into Depleted Uranium
Armor. Once inside it shatters into sparky shrapnel. Helluva
weapon. Once pulverized, it damages skin, eyes and lungs, and causes
long-term health effects including cancers, leukemias, birth defects, and a
host of additional health problems related to chemical intolerances in
humans and other animals. A helluva weapon.
The fact is, other materials also make good bullets (Teflon, for instance),
and newer sabots are always being designed by inventors the world over, and
higher velocity muzzles are always being built (there would be much more
progress in this arena if (as far as I can ascertain from books, the media,
etc.) Israel hadn't assassinated the #1 inventor of high-velocity
muzzles. (They did this in a foreign country, at that, violating countless
rules of engagement.))
The fact is, in the Dark Ages, armies used to throw plague-infested bodies
over the walls of besieged cities. No doubt, the guys who kept coming up
with better and better delivery systems for this weapon were considered
vital, honorable assets worthy of special treatment.
"Chop it into small pieces so they scatter!" "Aim it at the wells to
poison their water supply!" "Aim it at the fields to poison their
food!" "Aim it at the houses to poison the next generation of warriors!"
Leonardo Da Vinci was one of these builders of military equipment,
including catapults. I don't know if any of his were used to throw
plague-infested bodies over besieged city's walls, or if he advised on
whether to chop or grate the bodies first, but nevertheless, no one spits
on Leonardo's name, even now. No one ever will.
We have here a crime against humanity, namely, the use of depleted uranium
bullets, shells, missiles, bombs, etc.. As an armor too it should be
banned. That is not to say that chemical cocktails and a cover-up to go
with it are not the main cause of "Gulf War Syndrome", but the case against
D.U., from what I have seen, was made very strong by the Gulf War, and
stronger still by the effects seen more recently in Yugoslavia.
However, regardless of what I've heard or learned, we do, I hope, all agree
that proper epidemiological studies are not being done in either Iraq or
Yugoslavia. So the full effect cannot be studied. I hope that is not by
design, but it certainly follows a trend started after Hiroshima and
Nagasaki (which I've written about previously, as in "Hiroshima: 54 years
of pain: STOP CASSINI #164 August 6th, 1999").
Whether the crime of not properly studying the damage that nuclear weapons
inflicted was committed 54 years ago is hardly open for discussion
anymore. The true extent of the damage was dreadfully minimized in
hundreds of crude but effective ways. To deny it now is just about as bad
as denying the Holocaust.
But regardless of whether that crime was committed 54 years ago, there can
be little doubt the effects are not being properly studied "in the field"
now: Iraq is still under an utterly repulsive embargo on nearly
everything, and Yugoslavia is a mess, with everyone displaced everywhere
and the peace there remaining tenuous. Nuclear weapons are of no use in
either case and D. U. only makes things worse.
Your description of Israel's triumph over Syria is little more than elite
fear-mongering. It is biased against humanity, including against future
Israeli soldiers and civilians!
Disgusting as the idea might sound to someone in a desperate struggle for
survival, there are limits. It was not so very long ago (earlier this
year) that Israel renounced torture as a tool of interrogation. One would
have thought that was a "no-brainer" but it took until 1999. Perhaps more
than any other reason (except the political expediency of the moment (i.e.,
Clinton needs to prove he is doing something worthy of greatness, because
things are falling apart all around him)) that is why Israel and Syria can
sit down together at last -- because I am sure it is very hard to sit down
and chat peacefully with someone you know is torturing your brothers and
sisters.
If Israel and the United States and other countries who use depleted
uranium do not renounce and cease that use, two things will happen.
First, they will lay waste to acre after acre of fertile croplands
everywhere they fight. Rivers will be polluted, everything downstream will
suffer. Even the descendents of those on the winning side will suffer,
because as you know, the smallest particle of radioactive material is
capable of causing the exact same radiological health problems as larger
particles do -- there is no diminishing of the type of radiological
effects, only the rate goes down as the particle size or radioactivity goes
down. So clearly, what goes around (the world) comes around.
Second, if one side uses the weapons, the other side will feel free to use
them too. After all, life is precious and how mad can anyone be at someone
who used the same weapon as the person they are fighting against? Just as
land mines must be denounced by every country, so too DU.
Thus it is that only seeds of hatred are sown from D.U.'s dense shells.
The same type of discussion applies to the nuclear deterrent you credit
with saving Israel. It is NOT provable that nuclear weapons have saved
Israel, it is ONLY a theory (just as, it is not provable that the Hiroshima
and Nagasaki bombings were "necessary") -- and even if the threat from
Israel's nuclear capabilities have somehow stopped some amount of
aggression against them, it can also be argued that the actual use of those
weapons nevertheless would probably spell Israel's own death sentence, in
the form of retaliation from somewhere. What country would Israel bomb,
that doesn't have friends who might bomb her back? How many bombs does it
take to bomb a country into oblivion? Would neighboring countries forgive
Israel quickly for such an action? Would America, Israel's biggest (and
sometimes only) supporter?
How would the children of the children of the children who survived the
genocidal attack feel about Israel? How would the relatives of those
obliterated feel, who are scattered all around the world (for what people
are not scattered to some extent or other)?
All these questions, your theories do not address. And I doubt any Israeli
can explain to me how the proper answer concludes with the need to own
nuclear weapons, or use Depleted Uranium bullets (I had been suspicious
about the Gulf War being the first use of D.U., by the way, and am glad you
added some fuel to THAT fire!)
Perhaps in the next 12 days, the world will awaken to the realization that
it wasn't the bombs that saved America, or Israel, or Russia, but simply
the fact that there were enough clear-headed people thinking things out
logically, to prevent a global thermonuclear catastrophe. It was human
intelligence, not the bombs, which really saved us. We could use some even
greater intelligence now, as the world faces Y2K.
What we ended up with, at the end of the first nuclear century, is a
madhouse filled with genocidal weaponry and the most uneasy peace in the
history of the planet. America threatens Russia. Russia threatens
America. India threatens Pakistan. Pakistan threatens India. Everyone
threatens someone and themselves and everyone else.
Yet about 99% of the world is poor, in one way or another. In America, we
are poorly educated, getting most of our news from corporate and
CIA-controlled "news" media who are at least as corrupt as TASS is or ever
was. In many other countries it's a bit worse, the press is utterly
controlled AND the people are starving. In many countries, simply being a
member of the press is the most dangerous job around.
None of these 99% of the world -- your average Jane Doe or John Doe
-- want America to blow up Russia or Russia to blow up America, no matter
how badly we might want to do it. Even if provoked by such an attack on
us. But for you, the billions who would no doubt survive (for a while,
anyway) the worst nuclear exchange foreseen by doomsday engineers who study
such things, are not worth saving from the suffering, let alone the
suffering of the billions or hundreds of millions who might die in a
nuclear exchange.
Because if Israel bombed ANYONE, it is a short step toward America becoming
a target. After all, we just licensed a commercial nuclear reactor to make
tritium, which is needed for nuclear weapons, and that's its only
purpose. That makes that nuclear reactor a legitimate target of war, at
least in many schools of thought (as evidenced by past attacks, such as
America's and Israel's separate attacks on the Iraqi nuclear facility,
about 10 years apart).
Does it get any worse that this?
You bet it does. There's the additional problem of Y2K, when everything
from terrorist threats to the first salvo of Armageddon have been
threatened by "great" countries and not-so-great ones.
D.U. is almost inconsequential in comparison, but for the fact that whoever
isn't wiped out with nuclear weapons will probably either be shot with, or
be shooting, D.U., for essentially the same reason people have nuclear
weapons to shoot at each other -- namely, the intense fear and accompanying
mass hysteria which has gripped the world ever since World War Two. Add a
double helping of double-speak from those "too cheap to meter" folks, those
"the waste problem is/has been/will be solved" folks, those "but look at
all the wondrous things nukes have given us" folks and other promoters of
the "demon hot atom".
Add all this together, stir in communications failures, prophesies some
people hope will be fulfilled (while others simply expect it), power grid
failures (the local paper has an interesting article today, saying that
newspapers around the country are preparing in case they have to get
editions out despite power outages and other problems. Such a report would
be fine, were it not appearing while the media is at the same time
proclaiming no such problems have any reasonable likelihood of occurring!)
The hour is late. Those who are not prepared, probably won't be. The
stores are packed with goods and people -- holiday shoppers. KI makes a
great gift this year, at least in America where it isn't properly
stockpiled, though I understand relatively few are actually buying
it. Candles make great gifts this year, too.
Lastly, speaking of nerve gas, I cannot fail to mention that I am
convinced, based on the reports I have seen, that Nerve Gas (in non-lethal
doses, obviously), and not just Tear Gas, was used in Seattle against the
WTO protesters. So your description of the countermeasures are
particularly useful for those who might next have to suffer the barbs of
living in a "democrazy" here in America.

Re DU and the Gulf War. It is not true that DU A/T (HIAT) shells were first
used in he Gulf War.
Israel used DU HIATs against Russian tanks, including the T-72 during the
"Peace for Galilee" operation in Lebanon when Begin was PM. Old, upgraded
Centurions, M-60's and the Merkerva fired these shells, that had been in
production since at least 1981 and they were excellent in penetrating the
T-72's armour. These shells and the IDF's Blazer, reactive armour, stopped
Syria from opening a front on the Golan and bringing with it the danger of
a non-conventional war in the area.
The HIAT is a discardable sabot type weapon, a candle size rod of
DU/Tungsten with fins, like a cross-bow quarrel is fired from a 105 or
120mm gun at a very high velocity. The plastic or wood sabot drops away and
the HIAT (high Impact Anti Tank) dart flies on and hits the tank. It has a
lot of MV^2 (Kinetic energy) and it delivers this over a very small area of
the tank's armour. At this point the ultimate tensile strength of the
armour is exceeded, and it fractures, leaving a hole. The HIAT goes
through, and as it is made by zone refining alternate tensile/brittle
zones. It will then break up into many disk sized chunks and they will
bounce around inside the tank. When DU hits a heavy object, it sparks like
a lighter flint, thus causing fires in severed hydraulic lines or
explosions in damaged rounds in the ready racks.
On one engagement between 12 Syrian T-72 and IDF Centurions (modified), 8
T-72's were burnt up and another stopped a HIAT with its gun barrel, which
was penetrated at a high angle by the HIAT. These tanks were commanded by
Rafa'a't Assad, the presidents younger brother, and the severe defeat of
the T-72's that he thought to be so much better than the Centurion Museum
Pieces helped to ensure that the war was contained to the Lebanon, and that
the Syrians withdrew.
The current peace talks are a result of this use of high technology, and
the whole Middle east Peace Process rests on the Israeli Nuclear Deterrent.
Its not an ideal system, but I cannot see a better one given the factors
involved.
In the real world, the Chemical hazards of DU are no worse that those of
LEAD or Cadmium.
See Irving J SAX," Properties of Dangerous Materials." The textbook of
industrial toxicology!
The real problem of the Gulf War was the use of Nerve Gasses, either by
design, or by shelling/bombing of stocks that dosed up many troops on both
sides. The UK Civil Service Unions had a few cases in the 50's and 60's of
scientists with similar symptoms from experimental work on Nerve
Gases.(Look up back copies of "State Service" the mag of the I.P.C.S. for
details.) They do appear to cause long term effects and the oxime pills
have bad effects.
However when the first SCUDS hit Tel Aviv, they didn't explode, one hit an
air conditioning plant on a roof. So seeing this, [hundreds] of Israeli's
injected themselves , and their children with atropine from the auto jets
provided. I only know on one death, and I was told that this was an elderly
man who had put on his mask without removing the seal on the filter. Those
nearby, thinking he was dying from Nerve Gas, kept up the atropine
injections (I was told to inject direct into the lungs if all else failed !
I have lectured on NCBW in the past!) As all he was suffering from was lack
of air, he died.
Even very young babies survived the atropine injections. Its like
poisoning by the Deadly Nightshade plant, which has atropine plus other
nasties, and cannot be recommended unless you think that you are under
attack from Nerve Gases! As far as I can remember the adult dose is 2 to 4
mg im injection in thigh, then try abdomen and then direct into lung,
between ribs if that doesn't appear to be working, SO LONG AS THE VICTIM
SHOWS SYMPTOMS OF NG!
When you use the nerves in your body you may think of them as a battery,
wiring, switches and a motor! This is not a true picture. There are gaps in
the wiring (Synapses) and at one end is a "gland" that produces a chemical
called acetyl choline which crosses the gap and sends the message to DO-IT
on to the "motor". To stop the DO IT signal going on and on, an enzime,
Acetyl choline esteraze mops up the acetyl choline. Nerve gases stop this
enzime, so the "motor" keeps on trying to DO-IT, so you keep on trying to
breath in etc. That is where the convulsions come from. It is 20 years
since I gave this lecture so I may have forgot bits!
Atropine , a poison, blocks this and allows the AC to be mopped up, but
the symptoms of Atropine poisoning are still there!
Nerve gases are just too dangerous a substance to be throwing about the
desert, and it is not surprising that there has been so much ill health
from it. What surprised me was that there were few in any acute deaths
reported.
I have personally seen the effects of Sarin on a rabbit, and how atropine
reversed it and the rabbit lived.
Look at "Gulf War Syndrome" for testimonies by US officers that the Iraqis
used nerve gas shells and rockets, and that Bush covered it up to avoid
provoking Israel to "go nuclear". I think that I still have two long files
on record that I could send you on this subject.
