●The Nuclear Threat That Doesn't Exist – or Does It?

【Pure Fusion Warheads
The small tactical battlefield neutron bomb is the closest kin to a pure-fusion device.
The principle difference is that in a pure-fusion device, the plutonium fission component is entirely eliminated.
The pure-fusion device relies on the same deuterium-tritium mixture to create its burst of high-energy neutrons,
but is designed to accomplish this “burn” without the use of any fissionable material. Thus, while still packing a neutron wallop,
its explosive yield – the part that does the most physical damage – is much smaller because it lacks the fission component.
What little explosive yield remains can be as little as one hundredth the size of the small tactical battlefield neutron bomb.】
●DEVELOPMENT OF NEW LOW-YIELD NUCLEAR WEAPONS
by Sam Cohen and Joe Douglass March 9, 2003 http://www.financialsense.com/editorials/douglass/2003/0309.html
【To understand the reasons behind this concern, consider the small sizes into which very respectable yields can be packaged.
Warheads whose weight lies in the 30 to 150 pound range can “have yields as low as 50 tons (high explosive equivalent)
to tens of kilotons, several times the size of the first nuclear weapons that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The most available warheads and easiest to manage would be in the 100 ton to 1 or 2 kiloton range.
Insofar as size is concerned, an implosion nuclear warhead could be as small as a soccer ball and weigh less than 50 pounds. 】
●STUDY FINDS 9/11 BABIES DNA HARM
（9/11 乳幼児にＤＮＡ障害との研究報告）
【BABIES born to women living near the World Trade Center when it was destroyed face an increased risk of disease.
Scientists say they have more gene damage than infants born elsewhere in New York.
And the damaged genes make them more likely to get cancer.
About half the babies born to 329 non-smoking women living close to Ground Zero had DNA with significant levels
of the poisons found in smoke.
These "have the potential to damage development and increase risk of cancer".
Dr Frederica Perera of Columbia University, New York, said:"Pollutants crossed
the placenta and bound to DNA, leaving a fingerprint of exposure. It is a signal of genetic damage from exposure." 】
●Elevated tritium levels at the World Trade Center（世界号駅センターにおけるトリチウム値の上昇） http://repositories.cdlib.org/lbnl/LBNL-50782/
【A split water sample, collected on 9/21/01 from the basement of WTC Building 6, contained 3.53 plus or minus
0.17 and 2.83 plus or minus 0.15 nCi/L, respectively. Several water and vegetation samples were analyzed
from areas outside the ground zero, located in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and Kensico Reservoir.】
3.53 nCi/L = 1,106.6 TU = 20 TU (0.0638 nCi/L - the average environmental level) X 55.33 = 55.33 Times the Tritium level
that should have been found after some degree of 16 million liters of water diluted the Tritium present.
2.83 nCi/L = 887.2 TU = 20 TU (0.0638 nCi/L - the average environmental level) X 44.36 = 44.36 Times the Tritium level
that should have been found - even after some degree of 16 million liters of water diluted the Tritium present.
0.164 nCi/L = 51.4 TU = 20 TU (0.0638 nCi/L - the average environmental level) X 2.57 = 2.57 Times the Tritium level
that should have been found - even after some degree of 120 million liters of water diluted the Tritium present.】
