Radiation Effects on Humans...
Certain body parts are more specifically affected by exposure to different types of radiation sources. Several factors are involved in determining the potential health effects of exposure to radiation. These include:
- The size of the dose (amount of energy deposited in the body)
- The ability of the radiation to harm human tissue
- Which organs are affected..?
The most important factor is the amount of the dose - the amount of energy actually deposited in your body. The more energy absorbed by cells, the greater the biological damage. Health physicists refer to the amount of energy absorbed by the body as the radiation dose. The absorbed dose, the amount of energy absorbed per gram of body tissue, is usually measured in units called rads. Another unit of radation is the rem, or roentgen equivalent in man. To convert rads to rems, the number of rads is multiplied by a number that reflects the potential for damage caused by a type of radiation. For beta, gamma and X-ray radiation, this number is generally one. For some neutrons, protons, or alpha particles, the number is twenty.
Hair - Losing hair quicckly and in clumps occurs with radiation exposure at 20 rems or higher.
Brain - Brain cells do not reproduce, it won't be damaged directly unless it exposure is 5,000 rems or greater. Like the heart, radiation kills nerve cells and small blood vessels, and can cause seizures and immediate death.
Thyroid - Certain body parts are more specifically affected by exposure to different types of radiation sources. The thyroid gland is susceptible to radioactive iodine. In sufficient amounts, radioactive iodine can destroy all or part of the thyroid. By taking potassium iodide can reduce the effects of exposure.
Blood System - When a person is exposed to about 100 rems, blood's lymphocyte cell count will be reduced, leaving the victim more susceptible to infectionc and often refered to as mild radiation sickness. Early symptoms of sickness mimic those of flu and may go unnoticed unless blood count is done. According to data from Hiroshima and Nagaski, show that symptoms may persist for up to 10 years and may also have an increased long-term risk for leukemia and lymphoma. For more information, visit Radiation Effects Research Foundation.
Heart - Intense exposure to radioactive material at 1,000 to 5,000 rems would do immediate damage to small blood vessels and probably cause heart failure and death directly.
Gastrointestinal Tract - Radiation damage to the intestinal tract lining will cause nausea, bloody vomiting and diarrhea. This is occurs when the victim's exposure is 200 rems or more. The radiation will begin to destroy the cells in the body that divide rapidly. These including blood, GI tract, reproductive and hair cells, and harms their DNA and RNA of surviving cells.
Reproductive Tract - Because reproductive tract cells divide rapidly, these areas of the body can be damaged at rem levels as low as 200. Long-term, some radiation sickness victims will become sterile.

Radiation that leaked from the Fukushima nuclear plant following last year's tsunami caused mutations in some butterflies — including dented eyes and stunted wings — though humans seem relatively unaffected, researchers say.The mutations are the first evidence that the radiation has caused genetic changes in living organisms. They are likely to add to concerns about potential health risks among humans though there is no evidence of it yet. Scientists say more study is needed to link human health with the Fukushima disaster.

AFP -- Thursday, Nov 17, 2011 (old news, but infomative to know)
TOKYO - Most of the radioactive fallout from the Fukushima disaster nuclear plant dropped into the ocean and began circling the planet, Japanese researchers said.
Up to 80% of the caesium released by the Fukushima Daiichi power plant landed in the Pacific and made its way into other oceans around the world, scientists at the Meteorological Research Institute said.
" The rest has fallen on land" in and around Fukushima, said Hiroshi Takahashi, a researcher at the institute in Ibaraki, northeast of Tokyo.

Mayor Yoshio Kusama of Takahagi, Ibaraki Prefecture, visited TEPCO's HQ in Tokyo.
Takahagi is about 80 kilometers from the plant. Kusama asked TEPCO's to pay 9.84 million yen (S$165,746) for decontamination work conducted from June to Oct and for d purchase of radiation dosimeters.
It's the city's 2nd such demand to TEPCO -- in June, it became one of the first municipalities to seek compensation from the utility, demanding 2.05 million yen.
" I'll keep making demands until work to deal with the nuclear crisis ends. I mean until there are no more costs [for the work]," Kusama told TEPCO Managing Director Naomi Hirose, who is deputy head of a task force to support people affected by the nuclear crisis.
" I'm telling you this while repressing [my anger] to one-tenth, one-hundredth of its true level," Kusama said.

Many, 400,000 in Japan leave their homes due to the torrential rain that caused severe flooding. Saturday as heavy rain pounded the area for a third day leaving 29 dead or missing. Japan Meteorological Agency warned of more landslides and floods on the main southern island of Kyushu. Avoiding disaster

http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/green-living/why-the-haiti-earthquake-may-not-have-been-a-natural-disaster-6275044.html
Their findings suggest that cutting down trees on steep slopes may increase the risk of not only landslides but earthquakes in heavily deforested places such as Haiti, which suffered a devastating magnitude 7 quake in 2010.
" The 2010 earthquake in Haiti occurred... 18 months after the same area was hit by two tropical storms and two hurricanes," he said. " It can happen in other mountainous areas affected by cyclones, such as Japan, the Philippines, and maybe Central America,"
Geologists have previously discounted the idea.
New study suggests a different mechanism based on changes to the weight of soil and other ground material bearing down on a geological fault under seismic stress.
" Very wet rain events are the trigger. The heavy rain induces thousands of landslides and severe erosion, which removes ground material from the Earth's surface, releasing the stress and encouraging movement along faults."
Dr Wdowinski said an analysis of the timing of earthquakes and cyclones in Taiwan over the past 60 years has demonstrated a statistical correlation, with a significant number of quakes bigger than 6 occurring within four years of major cyclones – known as typhoons in the Far East.
Taiwan was hit in 1969 by Typhoon Flossie, then a 6.2 quake hit Taiwan in 1972. In 2009, Typhoon Morakot was followed by a 6.2 quake in the same year, and a 6.4 quake in 2010. Typhoon Herb, in 1996, was followed by a 6.2 quake in 1998 and a 7.6 quake in 1999.
Deforestation and extreme weather may later cause earthquakes, scientists believe.

The ATLAS detector at the LHC (Image: CERN)
An important piece of news that almost got lost in the excitement of the
Higgs update seminar on 4 July is that the 2012 Large Hadron Collider (LHC) proton run is to be extended. On 3 July, a meeting was held between CERN management and representatives from the LHC and experiments to discuss the merits of increasing the data target for this year in the light of the announcement to be made the following day. The conclusion was that an additional seven weeks of running would allow the luminosity goal for the year to be increased from 15 to 20 inverse femtobarns – a measure of accelerator performance equivalent to about 2000 trillion proton collisions – giving the experiments a good supply of data to work on during the LHC's first long shut-down (LS1), and allowing them to make progress in determining the properties of the new particle whose discovery was announced last week.
http://sg.news.yahoo.com/cern-scientists-discover-subatomic-particle-could-higgs-boson-073422168.html
GENEVA (Reuters) - Higgs, now 83, from Edinburgh University was among six theorists who in the early 1960s proposed the existence of a mechanism by which matter in the universe gained mass. Higgs himself argued that if there were an invisible field responsible for the process, it must be made up of particles.
Scientists at Europe's CERN research centre have found a new subatomic particle, a basic building block of the universe, which appears to be the boson imagined and named half a century ago by theoretical physicist Peter Higgs.
" We have reached a milestone in our understanding of nature," CERN director general Rolf Heuer told a gathering of scientists and the world's media near Geneva.
" The discovery of a particle consistent with the Higgs boson opens the way to more detailed studies, requiring larger statistics, which will pin down the new particle's properties, and is likely to shed light on other mysteries of our universe."
Two independent studies of data produced by smashing proton particles together at CERN's Large Hadron Collider produced a convergent near-certainty on the existence of the new particle.
It is unclear that it is exactly the boson Higgs foresaw.....

This will change the Laws of Physics as we know them. Before this, it is widely assumed that nothing goes faster than the speed of light.
According to the OPERA experiment, conducted in the CERN laboratory in Switzerland, tiny particles called neutrinos are reported to travel faster than the speed of light. A neutrino is an electrically neutral, weakly interacting elementary subatomic particle.
According to Albert Einstein’s Theory of Special Relativity, published in 1905, light travels 299,792,458 meters per second (about 700 million miles an hour) the fastest in the entire universe.
But after analyzing the results from 15,000 particles in the OPERA experiment which sends sprays of neutrinos from CERN in Geneva to the INFN Gran Sasso Laboratory in Italy 454-miles (730-kilometers)away, it seems the neutrinos are crossing the distance at a velocity 20 parts per million faster than the speed of light. By making use of advanced GPS systems and atomic clocks, the researchers were able to determine this speed to an accuracy of less than 10 nanoseconds (.00000001 seconds).

Radiation leaks have forced the evacuation of some 80,000 people within 20 kilometres of the site following the
accident which followed the
earthquake and tsunami which hit the country, leaving 26,000 dead or missing.
Around 2,000 people took part in a separate anti-nuclear demonstration under the slogan " Anti-Tepco" – a reference to
operator of the atomic plant, which took place at the same time a few kilometres away at Shiba Park.
Before the tsunami which led to the shutdown of a dozen reactors, nearly 30% of Japan's electricity was generated from nuclear power.

In France a group of green campaigners have been on hunger strike since Monday, calling for the closure of a nuclear power station at Fessenheim in the east of the country and an end to nuclear power within 10 years, despite claims that the nuclear power programme is safe.
And Switzerland will stop building nuclear power stations and could end all nuclear power within 30 years, Economy Minister Johann Schneider-Ammann told Le Matin Dimanche newspaper Sunday.

Thursday - Tokyo Electric Power Co. is to abandon plans to export its nuclear power plant expertise as it struggles to cope with the Fukushima disaster. The turnaround, a blow to Japan's once-proud policy of promoting its nuclear technology, the Mainichi Shimbun daily said.
Tokyo Electric, known as TEPCO, will withdraw from a scheme to supply and run two nuclear reactors at a plant in Vietnam. The project is being undertaken by International Nuclear Energy Development, a Tokyo-based company set up in 2010 and power companies including TEPCO, to promote nuclear power exports.
" Atomic power engineers still need to do a lot more to stabilise and decommission the reactors" at the crippled Fukushima Daiichi plant, said TEPCO president Naomi Hirose. " It is impossible" to abandon the domestic task and promote exports, he was quoted as saying.
Record radiation levels detected at Fukushima reactor
Meanwhile Wednesday - TEPCO, operator for Japan's crippled Fukushima nuclear plant, said record amounts of radiation had been detected in the basement of reactor number 1. TEPCO took samples from the basement after lowering a camera and surveying instruments through a drain hole in the basement ceiling.
Radiation levels above radioactive water in the basement reached up to 10,300 millisievert an hour, a dose that will kill humans within a short time after making them sick within minutes.
