The ATOMS & EVE project is a new science-driven, educational resource that explores how radiation harms female bodies more than male bodies, children more than adults, and pregnancy most of all.

“We are constantly being told about ‘a permissible amount of radiation.’ Who permitted it? Who has any right to permit it?”
– Dr. Albert Schweitzer

Radiation harm isn’t gender-neutral.And no one is talking about it. Let’s explore…together. The ATOMS & EVE project is a new science-driven, educational resource that explores how radiation harms female bodies more than male bodies, children more than adults, and pregnancy most of all. “We a...

ProtectBetter Webinar Series: Protect Our Health, Our Children and Our Future.

Webinar #3: International Perspectives
Wednesday, August 26 | 8:00–9:30 PM Eastern | 5:00-7:30 PM Pacific

Learn how experts from around the world view these proposed changes, how U.S. standards compare internationally, and why global concern is growing.

We will also be providing guidance on submitting comments before the August 31 deadline, making it as easy as possible for you to participate and make your voice heard.

Registration link: https://psr-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ezLPDW7dRSWIPgDa3OWaVQ

Hear from two international experts on radiation, worker health, and public health—and learn what weaker U.S. protections could mean for communities and workers worldwide.

Tony Webb, MSc, PhD – An expert on radiation and health with decades of experience advocating for the health of nuclear workers in Australia, the UK, Canada, and the U.S. He is the former co-director of the UK Radiation and Health Information Service.

Tilman Ruff AO – An infectious diseases and public health physician at the University of Melbourne and former co-president of International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War. He has extensive experience examining the health impacts of radiation exposure, including exposure from nuclear weapons testing.

Topics Will Include

• International radiation standards — How do the proposed changes to U.S. radiation exposure standards compare with protections in other countries?
• Worker and community health — What could weaker radiation protections mean for nuclear workers and communities?
• Global implications — How might changes to U.S. standards influence radiation protection policies internationally?
• Lessons from decades of experience — What can Australia, the UK, Canada, and other countries teach us about protecting people from radiation exposure?
• Public participation — How to submit effective comments on the proposed NRC changes before the August 31 deadline
• How to use Regulations.gov — A step-by-step look at the commenting process, including examples of submissions from others.

This article (link below) shows that some of the increasingly large amounts of solar and wind power in California is being wasted, as the Diablo Canyon nuclear plant remains open. Diablo Canyon is not needed.

In addition, a recent RPHP report showed infant health in San Luis Obispo County is worsening.

Decades ago, county infant death and low-weight/premature birth rates were well below the state. But now, county rates are higher. Some factor(s) is causing this, with Diablo emissions one possibility.
