Trans-Pacific Fallout
Fallout here from nuke use in
Mid-East, Pakistan, India, Korea, Taiwan, China, Russia, etc.
If nukes are ever used by any of the warring participants over there, we could soon
be in deep trouble over here, too, * even if * in the unlikely event we had managed
somehow not to get involved and it all ended as quick as it began.
Few realize that shortly after any nuclear detonation anywhere in the Northern
Hemisphere, we in the USA could be having their spent nukes radioactive fallout
raining down on us here, too. Especially of concern, according to health physicists,
will be plenty of thyroid contaminating radioactive iodine. All courtesy of the
prevailing
westerly trade winds blowing their nuclear fallout onto our shores a few days after
any of them trade nuclear blasts with any of their neighbors.
The Nuclear War Survival Skills book (by Oak Ridge National Laboratory, 1979, a
Facility of the U.S. Department of Energy, Updated and Expanded 1987 Edition)
details the above and shows where a single, and very small, above ground Chinese
nuclear test explosion ("a few hundred kilotons") on December 28, 1966 resulted in
the fallout cloud covering most of the United States.
Cresson H. Kearny, the author of the above book, also states about this now
declassifed incident:
"It produced fallout that by January 1, 1967 resulted in the fallout cloud covering
most
of the United States. This one Chinese explosion produced about 15 million curies of
iodine- 131 - roughly the same amount as the total release of iodine- 131 into the
atmosphere from the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster."
"Fallout from the approximately 300 kiloton Chinese test explosion shown in Fig. 1
caused milk from cows that fed on pastures near Oak Ridge, Tennessee and
elsewhere to be contaminated with radioiodine, although not with enough to be
hazardous to health."
"However, this milk contamination (up to 900 picocuries of radioactive iodine per
liter)
and the measured dose rates from the gamma rays emitted from fallout particles
deposited in different parts of the United States indicate that trans-Pacific fallout
from
even an overseas nuclear war in which "only" two or three hundred megatons would
be exploded could result in tens of thousands of unprepared Americans suffering
thyroid injury."
"Perhaps the first nuclear war casualties in the United States will be caused by
fallout
from an overseas nuclear war in which our country is not a belligerent. As the
number of nations with nuclear weapons increases - especially in the Middle East -
this generally unrecognized danger to Americans will worsen."
"Trans-Pacific war fallout, carried to an America at peace by the prevailing west-to-
east winds that blow around the world, could be several hundred times more
dangerous to Americans than fallout from the worst possible overseas nuclear power
reactor accident, and many times more dangerous than fallout from a very
improbable U.S. nuclear power reactor accident as lethal as the disastrous
Chernobyl accident was to Russians."
The following Declassified Fallout Map of the USA from this Chinese nuke fallout and
a free on-line copy of the complete 280 page Nuclear War Survival Skills book are at
the FAQ. (This book also covers and details preparations for much more than just
the threat of radioiodine fallout, too.)

Also, commenting on the world health effects a nuclear exchange between India and
Pakistan would create, for example, Dr. Henry Kendall of the Union of Concerned
Scientists said in October of 1999:
"It would be very similar to Cherynobl. But it could be on a substantially larger
scale."
See the Potassium Iodide Anti-Radiation Pill FAQ for more details on the health
concerns of radioactive iodine, especially to our children, and for lists and links to
all
known available formulations of radioiodine protective KI and KIO3 tablets, and you'll
also see why about.com says the FAQ is the...
"In-depth, detailed site totally dedicated to the Potassium Iodide issue.
THE central resource on the topic."
Bottom Line:
Most developed nations have already stockpiled KI or KIO3 tablets to protect their
citizens from radioiodine, but the USA has only just begun. (They've been talking
about it though for over 20 years! Ever since TMI!)
However, at this time, we can all still get it as a non-prescription for our own
personal
family protection.
That is, at least, until there's an 'incident' somewhere in the world because after
Three Mile Island and Chernobyl all available KI and KIO3 supplies disappeared for
months, almost overnight!
