The #Atomic Bowl: Football at Ground Zero -- And #Nuclear Peril Today
The U.S. all-star football game in the atomic ruins of Nagasaki--and why it matters today (53m 6s)
"The second atomic bomb blast over #Nagasaki in August 1945 has become known as 'the forgotten bomb.' Less than five months later, the U.S. military staged an all-star football game on a killing field in #Nagasaki, amid lingering radiation levels.. Why was the game played there? And why does the Nagasaki bombing provide so many lessons and warnings for us today as nuclear dangers proliferate?"
Available for viewing in the US until July 12, 2026.

A creek with #AtomicWaste from WWII is linked to increased #cancer risk
By Ronnie Cohen, July 21, 2025
Excerpt: "Children who lived near a #SaintLouis creek polluted with #radioactive #AtomicBomb waste from the 1940s through the 1960s were more likely to be diagnosed with cancer over their lifetimes than children who lived farther from the waterway, a new study has found.
"The findings, published in JAMA Network Open, corroborate worries that neighbors of #ColdwaterCreek have long held about the #MissouriRiver tributary where generations of children played.
Radioactive waste found at #Missouri elementary school" 'We actually saw something quite dramatic, not only elevated risk of cancer, but one that increased steadily in a sort of dose-response manner the closer the childhood residents got to Coldwater Creek,' said the study's senior author, Marc Weisskopf, an epidemiology professor at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
"As part of the Manhattan Project, #MallinckrodtChemicalWorks processed uranium in St. Louis for the development of an atomic bomb. By the mid-1940s, according to historians, the company began to haul its radioactive waste north of the city, leaving it in open steel drums, unattended and exposed to the elements, next to Coldwater Creek."

2025 #UraniumFilmFestival - Greetings from #Mururoa (#BonsBaisersDeMoruroa)
France, 2016, Director Larbi Benchiha, production: Aligal production and France Télévisions, documentary, French, English subtitles, 52 min.
"Excellent documentary about #France's #AtomicBomb tests in the #SouthPacific at the #MururoaAtoll. The filmmaker allows the surviving atomic tests veterans to speak up. They unknowingly irradiated themselves and their families.
" 'My biggest regret is to have contaminated my daughters, and may be my grandchildren', says atomic bomb veteran Florence Bourel. She had stayed several times at the atomic bases of Moruroa. Her daughter Marion, 22 years, it suffers from several #radiation-induced diseases and #cancer. Like her mother, she is also afraid of the future: '... and if I have children, will they be healthy'“ Florence was proud to work for the good of France. There, in the blue lagoon where the bombs exploded, she was diving and water skiing. 'The hierarchy has never mentioned any risks. They only said we should not eat fish from the lagoon and wipe with a sarong and not a towel.' "
"Dans le documentaire « Bons baisers de Moruroa » diffusé lundi 15 février après le Soir 3, Larbi Benchiha, le réalisateur, aborde le problème des conséquences transgénérationnelles des irradiations des essais nucléaires pratiqués sur l'atoll entre 1966 et 1996."

2025 #UraniumFilmFestival - IN EXILE
USA, 2023, Director: Nathan Fitch, Producer: Angela Edward, Documentary, English, 12 min.
"In Exile explores the US nuclear legacy in the Pacific through the lens of members of the #Marshallese community in Arkansas. The Marshallese were told their islands in Micronesia were essential for the good of mankind for #OperationCrossroads, a series of nuclear tests in #BikiniAtoll commencing in 1946. In a highly choreographed scene photographed by an array of military cameras, the Marshallese begin the process of leaving their home islands for an exile that has now lasted 77 years. They could not know that their islands would be #vaporized, their waters #poisoned, and their bodies used as test subjects by the US government."

2025 #UraniumFilmFestival - Half-Life of Memory: America's Forgotten #AtomicBomb Factory
USA, 2024, Director: Jeff Gipe, Documentary, 55 min.
"In the suburbs of Denver, the U.S. secretly manufactured thousands of atomic weapons, leaving behind a toxic legacy that will persist for generations. The #RockyFlats plant produced a staggering 70,000 atomic bombs, each serving as a 'trigger' for thermonuclear warheads. Concealed by government secrecy, the plant's fires, leaks, and illicit dumping of #NuclearWaste contaminated the #DenverCO area with long-lived #radioactive toxins. A major #PlutoniumFire sparked a decade of mass protests, culminating in an unprecedented FBI raid that ultimately shuttered the plant. Today, the radioactive legacy of Rocky Flats continues to threaten public health, yet surprisingly few people are aware the plant ever existed. 'Half-Life of Memory' exposes Rocky Flats' dark past and enduring impact, prompting critical reflection on the implications of the nation’s renewed nuclear weapons buildup and ongoing construction of a new 'trigger' factory."

2025 #UraniumFilmFestival - THE VOW FROM #HIROSHIMA
USA, 2021, Director & Producer Susan Strickler, Writer & Producer Mitchie Takeuchi, Documentary, English, 82 min.
"The Vow From Hiroshima is an intimate portrait of #SetsukoThurlow, a passionate survivor of the #AtomicBomb in Hiroshima. She was 13 years old when the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima in 1945. Her moving story is told through the lens of her growing friendship with a second-generation survivor, #MitchieTakeuchi. Setsuko was miraculously pulled out of a fiery building after the bomb was dropped and unable to save her other 27 classmates who were burned to death alive. That experience shaped her life forever and she endeavored to keep a pledge she made to her friends - that no one should ever again experience the same horrible fate. The film follows Setsuko through her decades of activism up to the current moment when she finally achieves her dream of a Nuclear Weapons Ban Treaty."

This man survived #Hiroshima bombing - and has a stark warning for us all
Eighty years since the bombing of Hiroshima, survivor #ToshiyukiMimaki says the world now faces its "most dangerous" era.
Helen-Ann Smith
Wednesday 6 August 2025"Toshiyuki Mimaki is exhausted when we meet him.
"The 83-year-old sinks into his chair, closes his eyes, and asks us to keep it brief.
"But then he starts talking, and his age seems to melt away with the power of his stories.
"He is a survivor of Hiroshima's #AtomicBomb, a lifelong advocate for #NuclearDisarmament and, as of last year, a Nobel Peace Prize winner
"But now, on the 80th anniversary of the bombing, he comes with more than just memories - he has a message, and it is stark.
"Right now is the most dangerous era," he says.
" '#Russia might use it [a nuclear weapon], #NorthKorea might use it, #China might use it.
"And President #Trump - he's just a huge mess.
" 'We've been appealing and appealing, for a world without war or nuclear weapons - but they're not listening.' "

How 'peaceful' nuclear energy gave us weapons (and still does)
It's Complicated#ItsComplicated - Civil #NuclearPower is thought to be about providing a low carbon energy alternative to fossil fuels, not #NuclearWar. But the closer you look these two industries are intrinsically linked for nuclear-armed countries.
Jul 24, 2025
"Josh Toussaint-Strauss investigates how the connection between civil nuclear power and nuclear weapons spans decades and continents as well as exposes siphoning of public money and the origins of the Iran nuclear program.
"Nuclear weapons and nuclear power share a common history, similar technologies, skills and research and development. For example, the process of enriching #uranium to make it into fuel for nuclear power stations is also used to make #NuclearWeapons. The UK’s first nuclear power stations were built primarily to provide fissile material for nuclear weapons during the #ColdWar.
"The development of both the nuclear weapons and nuclear power industries is mutually beneficial. The UK government uses the #HinkleyPoint C nuclear power station to subsidise #Trident, Britain’s nuclear weapons system, and other nuclear-armed states are also striving to maintain expensive military infrastructures through the civilian industry.
"After all, the civil nuclear power industry grew out of the #AtomicBomb programme in the 1940s and the 1950s. It was under the misleading slogan of ‘#AtomsForPeace’, that the US exported highly enriched uranium to countries around the world. Many of those countries went on to produce military nuclear weapons."

A creek with atomic waste from WWII is linked to increased cancer risk

"Almost one-quarter of the participants [in a study] reported having cancer. Those who lived within one kilometer of the creek as children were 44% more likely to report having cancer than those who lived more than 20 kilometers away. Even more striking, those who lived within one kilometer of the creek were 85% more likely to have radiosensitive cancers, cancers believed to be caused by radiation."

#Pioneering female #Chinese #American physicist Chien-Shiung Wu, who worked with Robert #Oppenheimer on the #ManhattanProject, was also the first to confirm #QuantumEntanglement – just 14 years after Albert #Einstein questioned the phenomenon. The largely forgotten achievement was included in a profile of Wu, one of the most influential experimental physicists of the 20th century, published in the December 2024 issue of Physics Today.
Wu is also believed to have been the only Chinese scientist involved in the Manhattan Project, the World War II initiative to develop an #AtomicBomb led by Oppenheimer, who affectionately referred to her as Jiejie, which means elder sister, the article said.
Wu’s experiment – detailed in a paper published in 1950 – was conducted before the #scientific community had fully grasped the significance of quantum entanglement, the article noted.

Five revelations about St. Louis’ history with radioactive waste
By: Allison Kite - July 12, 2023
"The #MissouriIndependent and #MuckRock spent months scouring thousands of pages of government records about St. Louis’ involvement in the race to build an #AtomicBomb during World War II and decades of #environmental #contamination that followed.
"Journalists sought to lay bare the degree to which government officials knew of the spreading contamination and the danger it posed to St. Louis County residents.
"While the contamination at the #WestLakeLandfill and in #ColdwaterCreek has been covered extensively for decades, documents obtained by the newsrooms revealed the way federal officials failed to take stronger measures to protect the health of St. Louis-area residents."

November 14, 2024MONTREAL -- "The Western Mining Action Network is meeting today in Montreal, with speakers from the network's #IndigenousCaucus speaking on the #NuclearFuelChain, defending the water and land, and the rights stated in the United Nations Declaration on Indigenous Peoples [#UNDIP].
The Deadly Nuclear Fuel Chain
"#PetuucheGilbert, #AcomaPueblo, said there should be more concern over the #NuclearFuel chain, #radiation and #UraniumMining. The nuclear fuel chain includes the making of the #AtomicBomb, and the #NuclearWaste from #SpentFuelRods in #NuclearPowerPlants.
"In his homeland, in the Grants mining district in #NewMexico, the abandoned #UraniumMines are #radioactive hazards affecting the water, air and the animals on the ground.
"Nearby on the #NavajoNation, there are more than 500 abandoned uranium mines and there are massive #UraniumMill waste sites, where the ore was processed. These all emit #RadonGas. He pointed out that the #McArthurRiver, #KeyLakeUranium Mine and mill in northern #Saskatchewan, Canada is the world's largest uranium mine and mill.
"Petuuche said he believes that the cancers now that the people in his area are suffering from are a result of radioactivity. There was also the atomic bomb testing in Nevada. All of that radioactivity spread over the entire United States. #Downwinders breathing the radioactivity in the air are also radiation victims."

Holy sh*t! This from my friend #BrendaNorrell at #CensoredNews: Update (10/28/2024): "Interior Sec. #DebHaaland's push for #uranium and #LithiumMining in #SacredPlaces in #IndianCountry, poisoning the water, and the push for increased #plutonium storage in the heart of #PuebloLand, and promotion of the #AtomicBomb industry as #GreenEnergy, was surprising and confusing -- until a reader exposed the U.S. Defense Department [#USDOD] contracts going to Haaland's tribe's business #LagunaIndustries in #NewMexico. See reader comments below."

It's used to make armor-piercing ammunition for tank armor because it can easily penetrate armored vehicles. Their front company is a maker of car wash components."Read more:

Judge finds plutonium plants in #NewMexico and #SouthCarolina violated environmental laws

"The U.S. government's plan for increased plutonium production at #LosAlamos National Laboratory, in the heart of Pueblo lands in northern New Mexico, has been delayed by a federal judge.
"Continuing the U.S. legacy of poisoning Indian country with #radiation, this comes as the U.S. government is granting leases to foreign #mining companies targeting Native #sacred lands and communities.
"#CopperMining is targeting San CarlosApache's sacred #OakFlat; #Hualapai are suing the US Department of Interior to halt lithium mining at their sacred spring Ha'Kamwe'; and the U.S. government is promoting the ongoing digging into the #Paiute Massacre Site in northern Nevada for #lithium, in violation of all federal laws that protect Native religious and historic sites, the environment and endangered species.
"Uranium mining in the Grand Canyon threatens #Havasupai's aquifer, the haul route endangers everyone in the Four Corners region, and the uranium mill at White Mesa Ute in #Utah is poisoning #Utes.
"Interior Sec. #DebHaaland said in Farmington, N.M., that Los Alamos Labs would be the leader in the so-called '#GreenEnergy transition' in the #FourCorners region.
"More than 500 radioactive #UraniumMill sites remain on the #NavajoNation that have not been cleaned up by the U.S. #EPA, which deceives the public by announcing plans and promises to clean up the #ColdWar sites.

Going to the #ShiprockFair, #KleeBenally Remembered the #UraniumDump on the Banks of the #SanJuanRiver
By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, August 29, 2024
SHIPROCK, #NavajoNation -- "In his book published shortly before his passing, Klee Benally writes of going to the #NorthernNavajoFair and the #UraniumDump in #Shiprock that no one talks about. It is along the San Juan River, the same river that flooded this week, now eight months after Klee's passing.
"'The Northern Navajo Fair at Tsé Bit A'í (#ShiprockNewMexico) has been held for more than one hundred years,' Klee writes in 'No Spiritual Surrender: Indigenous Anarchy in Defense of the Sacred.'
"Klee describes how the fair each fall marks the changing of the seasons and the #harvest. He describes the neon glow of the carnival in the cold, dusty nights, and the #uniper fires that burn.
"All of this revelry is held right on #UraniumBoulevard just a couple miles from a massive 105-acre #Radioactive dump containing 2.5 million tons of #RadioactiveWaste on a site that was a former #UraniumMill (which is just 600 feet from the San Juan River.)'
"The Shiprock Uranium Disposal Cell studies showed that more than 1.8 million liters of #groundwater were contaminated with uranium, #selenium, #radium, #cadmium, #sulfate, and #nitrate.
"Now the #NavajoNation again is targeted by the #Nuclear Industry and #DebHaaland's radioactive agenda is being ignored.
"Speaking in Farmington, Interior Sec. Haaland said the transition to green energy in the #FourCorners region will be led by the #AtomicBomb industry, #LosAlamos National Laboratory, which has already poisoned #Pueblo lands in northern #NewMexico.
"There is no mention of the fact that there is no safe way to store #NuclearWaste.
Now, adding to the layers of deception, the U.S. #EPA is deceiving the public. The EPA doesn't actually clean up the uranium dumps and strewn #RadioactiveTailings from #ColdWar #UraniumMining on the Navajo Nation -- it only announces plans and promises to do it."#EricJantz, legal director of the New Mexico Environmental Law Center, told the Inter-American Commission on #HumanRights in March that the #EPA has not completed any of the cleanups.
"There are 524 uranium mine sites waiting to be cleaned up on the Navajo Nation. Zero -- none of these -- have been fully cleaned up, Jantz told the international commission.
The truth is people seldom talk about the uranium dump at Shiprock because there is so much strewn radioactive waste, and so many unreclaimed uranium mines, with radioactive waste strewn from Cameron to #MonumentValley, and across the Four Corners region."During the 1990s, on assignment for USA Today, I talked with #Dine' in #RedValley and Cove, south of Shiprock, down the mountain from where I lived. In every family, there was cancer. In every family, someone was dying of #cancer, or had already died, from cancer because of the uranium mining.
"One Dine' grandmother in her 80s was living in a stone home built of radioactive rock. We had a Geiger counter with us."

It is along the San Juan River, the same river that flooded this week, now eight months after Klee's passing.
"'The Northern Navajo Fair at Tsé Bit A'í (#ShiprockNewMexico) has been held for more than one hundred years,' Klee writes in 'No Spiritual Surrender: Indigenous Anarchy in Defense of the Sacred.'
"Klee describes how the fair each fall marks the changing of the seasons and the #harvest. He describes the neon glow of the carnival in the cold, dusty nights, and the #uniper fires that burn.
"All of this revelry is held right on #UraniumBoulevard just a couple miles from a massive 105-acre #Radioactive dump containing 2.5 million tons of #RadioactiveWaste on a site that was a former #UraniumMill (which is just 600 feet from the San Juan River.)'
"The Shiprock Uranium Disposal Cell studies showed that more than 1.8 million liters of #groundwater were contaminated with uranium, #selenium, #radium, #cadmium, #sulfate, and #nitrate.
"Now the #NavajoNation again is targeted by the #Nuclear Industry and #DebHaaland's radioactive agenda is being ignored.
"Speaking in Farmington, Interior Sec. Haaland said the transition to green energy in the #FourCorners region will be led by the #AtomicBomb industry, #LosAlamos National Laboratory, which has already poisoned #Pueblo lands in northern #NewMexico.
"There is no mention of the fact that there is no safe way to store #NuclearWaste.
Now, adding to the layers of deception, the U.S. #EPA is deceiving the public. The EPA doesn't actually clean up the uranium dumps and strewn #RadioactiveTailings from #ColdWar #UraniumMining on the Navajo Nation -- it only announces plans and promises to do it."#EricJantz, legal director of the New Mexico Environmental Law Center, told the Inter-American Commission on #HumanRights in March that the #EPA has not completed any of the cleanups.
"There are 524 uranium mine sites waiting to be cleaned up on the Navajo Nation. Zero -- none of these -- have been fully cleaned up, Jantz told the international commission.
The truth is people seldom talk about the uranium dump at Shiprock because there is so much strewn radioactive waste, and so many unreclaimed uranium mines, with radioactive waste strewn from Cameron to #MonumentValley, and across the Four Corners region."During the 1990s, on assignment for USA Today, I talked with #Dine' in #RedValley and Cove, south of Shiprock, down the mountain from where I lived. In every family, there was cancer. In every family, someone was dying of #cancer, or had already died, from cancer because of the uranium mining.
"One Dine' grandmother in her 80s was living in a stone home built of radioactive rock. We had a Geiger counter with us."

"The fires gave the only real illumination. Even the noontime sunlight, filtering through the clouds, darkened. The word I kept hearing the girls say, #jigoku, means hell."
August 9 1945, a second #AtomicBomb was dropped over Japan, on #Nagasaki.

I thought it might be interesting to compare the REAL monsters represented by Godzilla and Cloverfield.

Observers of the first atomic bomb explosions likened the shape of the resulting cloud to a mushroom, a cauliflower, and the tip of a human penis.
