Enewetak & The Runit Dome: The Nuclear Disaster You Probably Never Heard About (Videos)

Article posted with permission from the author, Suzanne Hamner

Since the beginning of the nuclear age (development of the atomic bomb), nuclear production and testing of atomic bombs were shrouded in secrecy, lies, propaganda, injustice, and denial – what one could call the nuclear culture. One has to go back to the beginning to see how the world has been affected by this culture that has extended into the use of nuclear fuel for the production of electricity. Even after almost 70 years, the safety of using nuclear fuel to produce electricity is still questionable due to the nuclear culture and nuclear “religion”.

Has anyone ever heard of Enewetak and The Runit Dome? This documentary tells the story. Note: The issue of climate change is covered, but don’t get bogged down into that topic. What happened there is truly antithetical to America’s founding principles.

After moving atomic bomb testing to Nevada, for better “security” and control, the people of St. George and Cedar Creek, Utah became victims of radioactive fallout. Known as “downwinders”, the residents fought for years to receive justice and recognition from the government, who knew what had happened to them and what caused it. Their story is one that should be a lesson for us all.

Not to be left behind, the United Kingdom started developing their own atomic bomb, which required the creation of nuclear fuel. This was done at the Windcastle facility. An accident occurred there which some have termed “Britain’s Chernobyl”. This documentary also mentions the accident at Oakridge Tennessee’s Clinton facility – a prominent player in materials used at Hanford.

 

As was indicated, safety took a back seat to the race for atomic bombs. Unfortunately, safety continues to take a back seat where nuclear energy production and nuclear waste disposal are concerned. The justification for all of this is “It was the cold war and no one understood the danger of radiation.

But, the dangers of radiation were known during the 1950s and 1960s. It’s known today. Still, safety takes a back seat. Some even think the benefit was worth the cost to the environment and the people. Basically, it was all politics.

This next documentary was never shown in the United Kingdom, but did appear on French and German TV. It covers the dumping of nuclear waste, contained in barrels, into the seas around the UK and the continued release of radioactive water into the sea. This practice has made the waters of the Irish Sea and the Baltic Sea the most contaminated in the world. The people of Sellafield know it well.

This is a lot to process. Yet, it is absolutely essential to understand that the “religion” surrounding nuclear energy was born out of the secrecy, lies, propaganda, denials, cover-ups, and injustice practiced during the development of atomic bombs. Nothing has changed. The secrecy, lies, propaganda, denials, cover-ups, and injustice migrated to nuclear energy production. And, there aren’t solutions for any nuclear waste disposal, rapid evacuation should an accident occur, nor dealing with the decades-long (more than likely lifetime) impact of radiation exposure suffered by the people in an accident scenario. There certainly is no solution for the irradiation of the people on the Earth continually occurring because of the continued release of radioactive gases into the air or radioactive material into the soil and water.

If you want to know more, you can research Chalk Island, Oakridge TN, the Goiana Accident (concerning an abandoned medical device), and Kryshtym.

This writer is not a nuclear physicist and has no experience in nuclear energy production. However, it didn’t take long to understand we have been playing with fire without an extinguisher when it comes to nuclear fuel whether for atomic bombs or electricity production. Unfortunately, the industry and government have not learned their lesson, despite the accidents and safety inadequacies.

We all need to ask, “What have we done; what are we continuing to do; and, has the cost really been worth all the benefit?”
