If it became common knowledge that nuclear mistakes just waiting to happen cause untold numbers of cancers and other dis-eases, the nuclear industry would have gone bankrupt.

"Money Trumps Peace".

That being said, I'm confused by the title of this OP -- would you please clarify?

I think what the title is conveying is that the critics of the Three Mile Island medical cover up have been drowned out. That the science they discovered showed that many many people were effected by the radiation releases from TMI. And the nuclear supporters have worked to dilute and even drown the evidence.

I recently read an article in a 1980 edition of Omni about the perniciously deceitful pro-nuke scientists and government officials, who actually encouraged residents proximal to nuclear test sites to watch the mushroom clouds -- because it was "perfectly safe" to do so! Many who were exposed to the fallout from those tests died from leukemia and other cancers.

Before I was banned from the E&E forum, I brought this study to the group. The nukesters raised hell because the truth it exposed hurt them badly. The pro-nuke meme has been that no one ever was injured in the US from nuclear power plants, and this study makes all them look like liars.

This Truth has been suppressed. Like I said above, if it wasn't the nuclear industry would have gone bankrupt, because the last lie they are living on is that no one in the US has ever been harmed.

Unfortunately, many that have suffered will never be made right or have any recourse against the industry which has killed many and caused untold dis-ease for millions of people.

Thank you, Beth, for bringing this to our attention.

The response you received from a fellow DU member adequately conveyed my reason for posting and the message of the title.

I've noticed that the pro-nuke cabal has gone silent of late -- wonder why? Are they waiting to see how the latest Fukushima FUBAR turns out?
