SHOW INTRODUCTION Ever watch those science fiction films from the 50s with the giant reptiles and insects that were exposed to radiation and grew large enough to crush a city? After today’s show you may wish that those films were true. Our environment is contaminated by nuclear fission products, not only from early bomb testing but currently from nuclear reactors and depleted uranium munitions used across the globe. Nuclear energy is being sold as clean energy yet children growing up in the shadows of these reactors are carrying thousands of times higher amounts of radioactive strontium in their bones than what’s allowed by any regulatory commission. And yes, they are dying of cancer. Join me as we honor nuclear activists here and abroad who remember the effects of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and are fighting to end the proliferation of all nuclear products. Today, the health effects from radiation from all sources with Dr. Ernest Sternglass.
