"Reserved" Chernobyl. Continuing the theme
Ukrainian officials set out to transform Chernobyl beyond recognition. Very soon, the exclusion zone will be given the status of the reserve. But not simple, but "biospheric radiological". It is known that such a brilliant idea was thrown to Ukrainians from the very (
) The European Union, and announced it the day before by the Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources Andrei Mokhnik. 
The lad in the embroidered shirt in the photo - Mokhnik, the Minister of Ecology without environmental education. At the same time, he once handed Yushchenko a mail with demands to give Bandera the title of Hero, recognize the OUN-UPA as a liberation movement and organized a 1 January 2014 torchlight procession of Bandera.
We must assume that the ardent advocate of Ukrainian nationalism (in the ranks of the National Party "Svoboda" Mokhnik consists of 1990 year), he with no less zeal will take for the realization of the ideas of the European Union. In addition, the current head of the Ministry of Environment himself from Chernobyl - a native of the city of Pripyat, which is in 2-3 km from the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. In native places, as they say, it is easier to breathe and think better. So who, if not Mokhnik, is to entrust such an important task? ..

"According to the Minister of Ecology Andrei Mokhnik, the territory of the future reserve itself is planned to be doubled. This increase is due to the EU requirements to double the territory of protected areas in Ukraine. However, to complete the project, you may need another 500 million euros over the previously approved estimates. At this point protected areas make up 6% of the total area of the country, in the future they will increase to 15%. According to Mokhnik, this will be the Dnieper-Teterevsky and Chernobyl Biosphere Reserves. "
What is meant by a cunning-misty plexus of words "biosphere radiological“- I think many people think vaguely. The first part seems to be clear, the biosphere reserve is a concept of sustainable development of the environment, a kind of standard of nature. But the word“ radiological ”pushes many questions. And one of them:“ For What does the EU need an infected "reserve" of Ukraine?
From Wikipedia:
"Radiology - the section of medicine that studies the use of ionizing radiation for the diagnosis (radio diagnostics) and treatment (radiotherapy) of various diseases, as well as diseases and pathological conditions that occur when exposed to ionizing radiation on the human body ".
This is what happens? Will the current exclusion zone in the near future demonstrate a balanced interaction between nature and man? And this is despite the fact that the background in Chernobyl will decrease by half only through 24 for thousands of years? ..
Yes, and visiting the 30-kilometer exclusion zone around the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is prohibited by law: in November 2011, the Kiev administrative court declared "unlawful the order of the Emergencies Ministry of Ukraine on the procedure for visiting the Chernobyl nuclear power plant exclusion zone." However, Ukraine today lives by completely different laws, and therefore it is possible to forget about the decision of the Kiev court with a clear conscience ...
What impact the nature of the infected zone can have on people, we, of course, approximately know (although much is still unknown). However, if the reserve is still there, then where will people be taken? Will they be delivered? Or will the autocracy fit on the EU experience?
Information on the number of people living in the Chernobyl nuclear power plant zone varies considerably. Ukrainian government agencies do not keep track of autocrats, while in the media, numbers from 200 to 2 are called thousands of people.
However, you should not forget about tourists who regularly visit the Chernobyl zone in search of thrills and adrenaline doses mixed with radiation. They, by the way, are also quite good “material” for studying.
Open a door of the exclusion zone just for tourists (what a coincidence!) A couple of days ago was advised by a rather well-known Russophobe in Ukraine Eduard Bagirov, a human rights activist and chairman of the board of the International League for the Protection of the Rights of Ukrainian Citizens, who was previously convicted of extortion . In his twitter, he wrote:
"I propose that the Ukrainian government, for the amendment of the budget, open Chernobyl for tourists".
Such a shrewdness of the Ukrainian human rights activist cannot surprise - “tweet in hand”, not otherwise.As Minister Mokhnik mentioned, the reserve’s territory will be doubled according to the requirements of the European Union - from 6 to 15% of the total area of the country. A rather strange requirement, isn't it? Considering that, for example, in Germany The total area of all parks is 962 048 ha (with the exception of the marine zones of the North and Baltic Seas), or in other words, 0,54% of land area. National parks in France occupy 2% of the territory of this country, And in Italy - about 5% of total area...
And now I want to remind: in 2003, the American company "Noltec International " won a tender for the construction of a Ukrainian storage facility for nuclear waste. However, in 2011, its activities were covered, the storage facility was not completed. In 2007, the French consortium "Novarka"became the winner of the competition for the design and construction of a new sarcophagus, but because of a lack of finance, the" shelter "was not completed. In 2014, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine signed an agreement with an American company"Westinghouse"on the nuclear waste repository, there are rumored to be dumping nuclear debris from other countries. And here in this area will be arranged biosphere reserve? ..
Both Westinghouse and Holtec are members of the US-Ukraine Business Council (US-Ukraine Business Council, USUBC). M. Williams, president of USUBC, lobbied interests in Ukraine Shell (which is also commissioned to develop shale gas in eastern Ukraine), Chevron (extracts slate in western Ukraine) and ExxonMobil. And Williams insisted on the need for Kiev to sign a new pact with the IMF and an Association Agreement with the EU. Williams is also associated with the organization "Freedom House", responsible for conducting "color revolutions". And for "Freedom House" are Washington, the CIA, R. Kogan, V. Nuland, J. Kerry ...
Well, something more burning.
In 1999 year in America came out Eileen Welsom’s The Plutonium Files. It describes for the first time the radiation experiments on people carried out in the framework of the Manhattan Project, and later, during the Cold War, by the US Atomic Energy Commission. Over whom conducted experimentssaid that radioactive injections, which they are doing, is a new special therapy with the so-called “uranium drugs”. Sometimes they didn't explain anything at all.
Here are some medical stories and conclusions from the book:
3th of November 1944. USA, Rochester, University. On this day, radioactive injections to humans were first made during medical experiments as part of the Manhattan Project. Traces of radioactive polonium-210 were introduced to a group of volunteers - four men and one woman aged from 30 to 40 years treated for various cancers at the University Hospital of Rochester. Six days after the injection, one patient died. The study was conducted in order to study the biological properties of this element (Moss, Eckhardt 1995).
26 March 1945 year. USA, New Mexico, Los Alamos National Laboratory. In Los Alamos, three groups of scientists working at the medical section of the Manhattan Project met to agree on a plan for the practical implementation of a comprehensive program of radiation experiments on humans, approved as early as August 1944. At this meeting, tasks were set to study the behavior of plutonium in the human body. Dozens of nuclear plants and laboratories in which personnel worked with nuclear materials were already operating in the United States. The leadership of the American atomic project considered that it could no longer afford to use guesses as a basis for protecting skilled workers who were exposed to plutonium in the course of their work. Two weeks later, human experiments began at the Army Hospital in Oakridge, at the Chicago Metallurgical Laboratory and at the University of San Francisco Hospital (Moss, Eckhardt, 1995).
10 April 1945 of the year. USA, Oakridge. An 53 injection of a plutonium microgram was made at an 4,7 hospital for patients after a car accident, in order to study its movement in the human body. Four days after that, the patient was operated on. During the operation, bone samples were taken for examination and several teeth were removed. The man lived after the experiment for eight years and died in 1953 from heart failure (Moss, Eckhardt, 1995).
14 May 1945 years. USA, the city of San Francisco. A mixture of plutonium-58 and plutonium-239 was introduced at the university's 238 summer hospital. The patient was diagnosed with gastric cancer. It was assumed that he will live no more than six months. However, a microscopic examination of the tumor showed that he was diagnosed incorrectly. The man lived 21 for a year and died at the age of 79 for years in 1966. Over the years, of all the patients who received radioactive injections, he received the highest cumulative dose of internal exposure. Its total effective equivalent dose was 6400 rem. The annual dose was approximately 309 rem, which is 858 times the exposure level of the average US citizen (Moss, Eckhardt, 1995).
December 27 1945 year. USA, the city of Chicago. Two incurable patients in a Chicago-based hospital as part of the “Manhattan Project” introduced 95 micrograms of plutonium-239 during medical experiments. This is the ultimate plutonium injection. The 56-year-old woman died after 170 days, the young man through 17. As in this, and in other radiation experiments on humans, the amount of plutonium injected from 5 to 100 was over the safe standards for personnel (Moss, Eckhardt 1995; Kelly, Ricciuti, 2001).
1955 of the year. USA, the city of Chicago. At university, Dr. Willard Libby began a Sunshine project. The aim of the project was to study in various regions of the world the presence in the human body of nuclear fission products that fell after atmospheric nuclear tests. For this took about 6 Thousands of stillborn and dead bodies in the first months after the birth of babies. Human organs and bones were burned and examined for the presence of radioactive elements. The bodies and organs of infants were sent to the USA from Australia, Canada, Great Britain, Hong Kong, South America and the Philippines and were used in these studies without the permission of the parents. The same kind of experiments were carried out in the UK on stillborn babies brought from Hong Kong. According to the British and American press, such experiments continued until the middle of the 70s (Human Radiation Experiments 1995; Goncalves, 2001).
1963-1971 years. USA, Washington and Oregon. Volunteer Prisoners In Washington State and Oregon 130 Prisons received genital irradiation at the 400-600 P level during experiments in the interests of NASA. The space agency was interested in how radiation, including that emitted during flares on the sun, can affect the well-being of astronauts. The prisoners signed an agreement and received 200 dollars, but were not warned about the possibility of developing testicular cancer (Human Radiation Experiments, 1995).
1993 of the year. USA, Washington. Information on radiation experiments on humans in the USA has become public. From 1940-s to 1970-x more than 23 thousand people have been subjected to it. During one of these experiments, more than a hundred schoolchildren from Massachusetts fed oatmeal containing radioactive elements. Testing was also carried out on prisoners in order to determine the dose causing infertility and experiments on pregnant women. In the 1993 year, after learning of a series of highly hazardous studies that included the introduction of plutonium to people who were unaware of this, US Secretary of Energy O'Leary said: "I can only compare this with Nazi Germany" (Makhijani, Kennedy, 1994).
