#Tewa Women United: #Pueblo Infants Endangered by #LANL 's #Radiation Plan

#NativeLedNonprofit #TewaWomenUnited Commissioned Two Reports to Study Impacts. Finding: #LosAlamos National Laboratory Omitted Dose Calculations to Infants and Children in Their Compliance Application

By Tewa Women United, #CensoredNews, November 19, 2024

#EspanolaNewMexico — "The Native-led nonprofit organization Tewa Women United, based in Española, New Mexico, has released two independent scientific technical reports assessing the implications and adherence to regulations concerning Los Alamos National Laboratory’s proposal to release tritium into the open atmosphere from four Flanged #Tritium Waste Containers located in Area G, near #WhiteRockNewMexico.

"These reports found that the concentration of tritium in the most loaded radioactive container, if vented during unfavorable weather conditions, could lead to radiation doses significantly exceeding the annual regulatory limit of 10 millirem established by the Environmental Protection Agency regulatory radiation standards.

"The author of one report, Bernd Franke, stated, 'In the case of tritium, infants and small children get a radiation dose about three times greater than adults, with the same concentrations of tritium in air, water, and food.'

"However, LANL’s application for venting did not include potential impacts of the #TritiumVenting on infants or children; in effect, LANL did not consider them as 'members of the public.' So far during the permitting process, the #EPA has allowed LANL to ignore these #VulnerablePopulations in their proposal.

"Kathy Wan Povi Sanchez, member of #SanIldefonsoPueblo and one of Tewa Women United’s co- founders, said, 'Tritium makes water, our sacred source of life, radioactive. We were shocked to learn that LANL’s compliance calculations did not take infants and other children into account.'"

Will Damron's read of the audiobook of Cliff Stoll's "The Cuckoo's Egg" is excellent.

While the book is required reading or listening as a historical record for anyone interested in Information Security, it's a thoroughly enjoyable thriller. Though much of the technology mentioned is familiar to folks who are thinking I'm about to call them old, it's unsurprising how much remains painfully pertinent today, yet pleasing how a few things have improved significantly given only a few decades.

While some library networks such as the DoD MWR will keep you waiting months for one of their few copies, Fairfax County has unlimited copies of the audiobook.

I hope @AndresFreundTec is keeping good notes on his adventures with xz/liblzma.

For Oppenheimer weekend, I broke out a couple of mementos from the two summers that I worked at Los Alamos in a support role for their high performance computing group. (ASCI Blue Mountain was just coming online around that time.)

These are two-factor authentication devices that were required to log in anywhere and are very similar to today's time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) that are in growing use today.

CRYPTOcard and SecureID devices from my time at LANL (summers 1998 & 1999).

Today is the 78th anniversary of the first detonation of a nuclear weapon on Earth, the Trinity Test in New Mexico in 1945, three weeks before the nuclear attacks on Japan.

There will be many images posted of the mushroom cloud today, but here is what mattered more, the fallout cloud. Dozens of homes and communities were blanketed with fallout, which which also contaminated fields as far away as Illinois and Indiana.

They have always known about radioactive fallout.
