In my last six years of reviewing medical documents and environmental information, I have come to the conclusion that nuclear power via nuclear waste and pollution, is linked to BSE (otherwise known as mad-cow disease, CWD - deer, and vCJD in people).   Uranium concentrates in the distal ileum and subsequently is reabsorbed into the blood stream (do a pubmed search for "uranium and peyer's patches", you'll find this document).  

Don't listen to those who spout that nuclear technology is safe and effiencient.  The money wasted on this industry of death could be more appropriately spent on other technologies that won't leave a permanent toxic radioactive legacy.

All nuclear power is for, is an excuse to mine and manufacture weapons from uranium products.  Depleted uranium weapons used for bullets to bunker busters - are a crime against humanity.  The DU weapons are effective because the uranium is "pyrophoric" meaning it burns agressively when these weapons are shot, and blown up.  Toxic uranium nanoparticles are contaminating the environments these weapons are used, including on Canadian military bases, and over the lands which cruise missiles have been fired.  Canada needs to stop mining uranium and stop contributing to the war-crimes against civilians, inflicted by DU weapons....  Kathy Czar
