for IJC 2016 - radionuclides as chemicals of mutual concern

For even the most recent international studies done in radioecology illustrate that the scientific tools still are not sufficient to identify and understand the complexity of the impacts of various types of radionuclides and, more so, in the long term assumptions. [...] See 20161.jpg Rationale for IJC Adding Radionuclides to `Chemicals of Mutual Concern’ Given the statements by the IJC on binational priorities, the addition of radionuclides for the second round of included `chemicals of mutual concern’ would be timely and fits all of the criteria. [...] The symbols are distinct elements fed into the computer from the outside, and during the information processing there is no change in the structure of the machine. [...] Sadly, the human condition today is the result, in part, of the longstanding split of human consciousness in recent centuries, from which we became disconnected from the worlds of Nature and Spirit, diminishing the development of all of our ways of knowing, and our schooling systems are partly to blame. [...] The deadline for delivering this paper to IJC – after weeks of non-stop deadlines on related hearings and meetings related to the nuclear waste issue – curtails my more detailed provision of examples of a few of numerous international studies on how to address the huge dilemma of the impact of radionuclides upon the environment, locally and globally.
