I just looked up some of that **** on google. Very frightening images and most are Iraqi.

After reading some of the replies I haven't bothered to watch the video, but I suppose that bit may have a nugget of truth hidden somewhere. - It seems unlikely that civilians would be exposed to large amounts of DU (I thought it was more a problem for troops using it), but it can be fairly toxic (even in low concentrations) iirc - not due to any radioactivity, but due to it's heavy metal characteristics, which I just thought was quite interesting when I heard it.
But then you have WHO saaying no birth defects from DU.
So which is It and anything to back up the pictures of the actual cause.

Edit: What do you guys think?
I would like to say it is all nonsense and don't listen to her, but I really have no idea on the woman.
She's an idiot and it talking rubbish.
you may safely ignore everything she says.
"40% of Europe is still radioactive, "
the hole planet is radioactive... some parts more than others...
we are also blasted from radiation from above..
however most of this has not changed for 1000's of years...
40% should read 100%, or the word contaminated added (which suggests to me something that should not be there) and we also need to know what type of radiation and at that levels...

FFS there is no point in making threads on these forums anymore. It's turning into an absolute joke.
Someone posted that video on Facebook a week ago and it made me angry. People just spouting unsubstantiated poop does nothing for proper discussion and debate.
As a result of Chernobyls Caesium-137 there are still 4 farms in Cumbria which have to have their lambs radiation levels tested prior to going to market. There was an article on it recently in Farmers Weekly."40% of Europe is still radioactive, farms in Britain, their lambs are so full of caesium they cant sell them. DON'T EAT...European Food"
"40% of Europe is still radioactive, farms in Britain, their lambs are so full of caesium they cant sell them. DON'T EAT...European Food"
Ahhh That explains why I glow in the dark then.

Who is the lady? Really? The reason why we don't hear this in mainstream news is because it's bullcrap.
She mentions 1,000,000 died in Chernobyl. Seriously, source? Chernobyl was an experiment which shouldn't allowed to have happened. It happened behind closed doors. As a result the nuclear industry learnt from this and setup world regulatory bodies - WANO. As a result the industry is much more transparent.
"Japan is many times worse than Chernobyl." Really? I find that conclusion hard to believe. WANO, The NII (now ONR) and INPO are still to file a lot of reports. There is so much information to collate.
She mentioned Three Mile Island (TMI). TMI actually showed how the containment protected against wide release of fission products.
Seriously, nuclear war in Iraq? Really?
"Huge amount of radiation in a power station." Well you don't say. What bigots like this woman fail to recognise is the defense in depth adopted to protect against emmitting radiation. All of it is shielded and protected and is short lived.
"Turkish food is radioactive...40% of Europe is still radioactive." Really? Source?
Plute in reactors? Using Plute for fuel reduces military nuclear operations, and doesn't increase it. Read up on Megatons for Megawatts.
"I could go on and on." Please don't and STFU stupid bint.

you know how i can tell a thread outlines a conspiracy theory without even seeing its contents? The title begins with "The truth about..."
I mean really? REALLY?
"The truth about 9/11"
"The truth about the moon landings"
"The truth about global warming"
Infact, its gotten so bad that whenever i hear anyone proclaiming to tell me the truth, I already know i'm about to be subjected to a story of lies and deceit.

Somewhat biased view of the source:

Like Vidal and many others, Caldicott pointed me to a book which claims that 985,000 people have died as a result of the disaster. Translated from Russian and published by the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, this is the only document that looks scientific and appears to support the wild claims made by greens about Chernobyl.
A devastating review in the journal Radiation Protection Dosimetry points out that the book achieves this figure by the remarkable method of assuming that all increased deaths from a wide range of diseases – including many which have no known association with radiation – were caused by the Chernobyl accident. There is no basis for this assumption, not least because screening in many countries improved dramatically after the disaster and, since 1986, there have been massive changes in the former eastern bloc. The study makes no attempt to correlate exposure to radiation with the incidence of disease.
Its publication seems to have arisen from a confusion about whether Annals was a book publisher or a scientific journal. The academy has given me this statement: "In no sense did Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences or the New York Academy of Sciences commission this work; nor by its publication do we intend to independently validate the claims made in the translation or in the original publications cited in the work. The translated volume has not been peer reviewed by the New York Academy of Sciences, or by anyone else."
Some of this has some truth in it, but most of it is just unnecessary hyperbole and made up statistics.
It's not helped by her lack of credentials and the way she seems to sidestep around the most basic terminology like half-life and isotopes ("Caesium lasts 600 years"). I'm not sure whether she's catering to an audience or is just a bit daft.
