Somebody is doing testing. They would tell us if we were in danger. Everyone is not out to fool us. There are many who are just like us, they care. The sky is not falling.

This policy directive was issued by National Security Adviser John Poindexter on October 29, 1986, and five months later rescinded by National Security Adviser Frank Carlucci. According to the House Committee considering legislation that later became the Computer Security Act of 1987 (P.L. 100-235), this directive is significant because it “added a new ‘sensitive but unclassified’ category of Federal information, setting new classification criteria for information formerly unclassified. It would not only have affected managers, users, and programmers of information systems within the Federal Government, but there was concern that it could have been extended to private sector contractors of the Federal Government as well, potentially restricting the type of information and data released.”

On October 12, 2001, Attorney General Ashcroft issued a memorandum to the heads of all federal departments and agencies, providing a new statement of Administration policy on the Freedom of Information Act. It confirms the Administration’s commitment to protecting fundamental values –“ safeguarding our national security, enhancing the effectiveness of our law enforcement agencies, protecting sensitive business information, and preserving personal privacy.” Agencies are encouraged to “carefully consider the protection” of the values and interests enumerated in this memorandum “when making disclosure determinations under the FOIA.” Decisions to disclose information protected under the FOIA should be made in consultation with the Department of Justice’s Office of Information and Privacy. If any agency decides to withhold records, in whole or in part, Justice will defend this decision “unless it lacks a sound legal basis or presents an unwarranted risk of adverse impact on the ability of other agencies to protect other important records.

Although this is an internal directive, it is significant in that it imposes new access controls on Sensitive But Unclassified information, defined as “unclassified information of a sensitive nature, not otherwise categorized by statute or regulation, the unauthorized disclosure of which could adversely impact a person’s privacy or welfare, the conduct of Federal programs, or other programs or operations essential to the national interest.” This SBU information is identified using the term For Official Use Only (FOUO). The directive enumerates 11 types of information that will be treated as FOUO information, access to which is based on “need-to-know” as determined by the holder of the information.

Description/Summary: Provides a definition of Sensitive Unclassified Information. The definition is as follows: “Information for which disclosure, loss, misuse, alteration, or destruction could adversely affect national security or governmental interests. National security interests are those unclassified matters that relate to the national defense or foreign relations of the U.S. Government. Governmental interests are those related, but not limited to the wide range of government or government-derived economic, human, financial, industrial, agriculture, technological, and law-enforcement information, as well as the privacy or confidentially of personal or commercial proprietary information provided the U.S. Government by its citizens.”

Caesium-137 (137/55Cs, Cs-137) is a radioactive isotope of caesium which is formed as a fission product by nuclear fission.

It has a half-life of about 30.17 years, and decays by beta emission to a metastable nuclear isomer of barium-137: barium-137m (137mBa, Ba-137m). (About 95 percent of the nuclear decay leads to this isomer.

Reasons given for the consortium review delay by Frank Marcinowski of DOE Environmental Management were: a change in DOE management, funding issues and a lawsuit filed against the EPA. The lawsuit was filed under the Freedom of Information Act by Citizen Action to obtain secret documents written by EPA Region 6 showing concern for the groundwater-monitoring network at the Mixed Waste Landfill. DOE refused Citizen Action’s repeated requests that the DOE obtain the documents from the EPA.

The DOE saves hundreds of millions of dollars in cleanup costs by delaying the investigation of toxic waste leaking into Albuquerque’s aquifer. At the same time, the DOE is reducing funding for radioactive and hazardous waste cleanup at the national laboratories to free up money for more nuclear weapons development.

With the delay, no investigation will be made, the report will not circulate and the information contained in the report will continue to be held secret by the regulatory agencies.

I will grant that the amounts are declining, however, they are non-zero. In other words, radionuclides are still being detected in US milk.

And I again direct you to think about (perhaps a foreign concept) bioaccumulation and what it means that contaminants are being release 24/7/365 without a foreseeable end any time soon.

I love this part:

I am going to ask my students and colleagues to refrain from answering such questions in the future because it really takes away from our valuable time that can be spent in the lab and making sure our methods and numbers are sound

What's not being said:

We're infallible and it should not occur to you to question what we say, even if we change what's been said,

A U.S. Department of Energy National Laboratory Operated by the University of California

The primary mission of the Office of Nuclear Energy, is to advance nuclear power as a resource capable of meeting the Nation's energy, environmental, and national security needs by resolving technical, cost, safety, proliferation resistance, and security barriers through research, development, and demonstration as appropriate.

In addition to its primary mission, the Office of Nuclear Energy performs several mission-related functions including providing:

International engagement in support of the safe, secure, and peaceful use of nuclear energy as well as support to other Department offices and other federal agencies on issues related to the international use of civilian nuclear energy
The capability to develop and furnish nuclear power systems for use in national security and space exploration missions
Oversight for specifically assigned front-end fuel cycle responsibilities
Stewardship of the DOE Idaho Site

The one thing the truthers forgot is that the "radiation cloud" that the EPA is "covering up" would be equally affecting the people and the supposed "EPA disinfo cover-up men/ NWO / illuminati, etc."
