Canada is dusting off and updating emergency protocols to deal with fallout from a possible tactical nuclear exchange in Europe or the spread of radiation across the ocean from a Ukrainian power plant explosion. Internal Public Safety Canada notes show the measures include updating a highly secret plan to ensure the federal government can continue…
SpaceX Satellites Interfere With Astronomical Observation
Scientists using a low-frequency telescope in Europe observed that SpaceX’s satellites were emitting a radio frequency via their onboard electronics that can interfere with astronomical observations. According to a study’s press release published in the Astronomy and Astrophysics academic journal, scientists used the LOFAR telescope in the Netherlands to detect any low-frequency radio waves that…
Antioxidants May Lower Radiation Risk From Medical Imaging
The use of medical imaging tests that emit ionizing radiation (high energy radiation which causes electrons to separate from their atoms or molecules) has skyrocketed in recent years, leading more doctors and patients to question not only whether certain tests are being overused, but also whether the damage caused by exposure to ionizing radiation can…
Recent Case of Severe Microwave Syndrome Reveals Problems With 5G
After a 5G base station was installed within 60 meters of her second-floor apartment, a middle-aged, otherwise healthy, Swedish woman developed debilitating symptoms corresponding with radiofrequency (RF)/microwave syndrome, researchers at the Environment and Cancer Research Foundation (ECRF) in Sweden reported this month. This was the third such case the researchers had documented. According to their…
Chinese ‘Genetic Experiments’ May Lead to Army of Radiation-Resistant Soldiers | Facts Matter
Late last week, it was revealed that Chinese military scientists have been experimenting with the gene sequences of human embryos in order to make them more resilient against nuclear radiation. According to a paper published by a team of Chinese military scientists in Beijing, they were able to modify human embryonic stem cells and give…
Virtual Reality Headsets Igniting Safety Concerns Over Radiation Levels
The debate over potential health consequences from wireless device radiation has officially crossed the virtual threshold. While science remains divided on the health effects of absorbing low-frequency, non-ionizing radiation—like the kind emitted by cell phones and other wireless devices—some virtual reality headsets are well above the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) safety guidelines. The established FCC-safe absorption…
WHO Updates Medicines List for Nuclear Emergencies
The World Health Organization (WHO) on Friday released recommendations on how to acquire and manage medical supplies for the treatment of exposure to radioactive materials in emergencies. The report sets out for countries and governments how to develop and maintain a national stockpile of specific medical supplies that can lower risks and treat injuries caused…
Chornobyl Radiation Detectors Back Online, Levels Normal—IAEA
VIENNA—Radiation detectors in the Exclusion Zone around Ukraine’s defunct Chornobyl nuclear power plant are back online for the first time since Russia seized the area on Feb. 24, and radiation levels are normal, the U.N. nuclear watchdog said on Tuesday. “Most of the 39 detectors sending data from the Exclusion Zone … are now visible…
The Dangers of Wireless Radiation and How to Protect Yourself
Silicon Valley is probably the last place you’d expect to hear health warnings related to your cellphone. But that’s where you’ll find Peter Sullivan, a man with a mission to help the public understand how their devices cause real harm.
Drugmaker Increases Supply of Radiation Sickness Medicine
The Tanner Pharma Group announced on Tuesday that the company would be increasing the European supply of Leukine—a drug used to treat radiation sickness—amid renewed threats of nuclear conflict as a result of Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine. In a statement released on March 24, the Tanner Pharma Group said it was expanding the availability…
