  3. Kudos to my friends at the #InternationalUraniumFilmFestival for bringing awareness of #nuclear issues AND being voted one of the "Coolest Film Festivals"!

    "The International Uranium Film Festival (#IUFF) is one of the '25 Coolest Film Festivals in the World 2024'. Thanks to the prestigious MovieMaker Magazine in Hollywood, Los Angeles, which selects the Coolest Film Festivals every year. Founded in #RioDeJaneiro, the unique film festival, also known as #AtomicAgeCinemaFest, is the only film festival in #Brazil to receive this honor this year.

    "'The Uranium Film Festival is certainly one of the most unique festivals we've ever had on our list, but its singular focus shines an important light on problems that unite communities all around the world — and in fact our entire world. In the year that #Oppenheimer dominated at the Oscars, it feels like the messages it has carried for years are gaining much wider interest and attention,' says Tim Molloy, Editor in Chief at MovieMaker Magazine.

    "'You’ve never seen two people get more done than the life and project- partner duo #MárciaGomesDeOliveira and #NorbertGSuchanek, who run the International Uranium Film Festival in deep collaboration with #activists around the world. The festival has its grand event in Rio, but also does an extensive U.S. tour in regions impacted by #uranium-related industry. Inevitably, folks wonder whether there are enough films on the subject to warrant a festival. The answer is yes. This, of course, is because the issue is expansive, impacting all 50 U.S. states and many more corners of the world than most folks realize. From the #NavajoNation to #LasVegas to #Chicago and many places between, this spirited #DIYArt, #advocacy, and #activism project brings folks together in a space of support, education, #SharedOutrage, and a good time. The International Uranium Film Festival is a refreshing example of what activism and advocacy can be: inclusive, expansive, and celebratory,' writes filmmaker Hadley Austin for MovieMaker Magazine.

    '“The International Uranium Film Festival (IUFF) is honored by this acknowledgement as one of the 25 Coolest Film Festivals of 2024! Produced by Norbert Suchanek and Marcia Gomes de Oliviera and based in Rio de Janeiro, since 2011 the IUFF has provided a platform for more than 300 films in more than 50 cities in nine countries around the world: Germany, Brazil, India, Canada, United States, Portugal, Jordan, Denmark and Norway.' #LibbeHaLevy, Producer/Host, #NuclearHotseat and Ambassador to the USA for the International Uranium Film Festival."

  4. #Navajo #uranium miners, people #downwind of atom bomb tests demand justice as Congress lets aid program lapse

    by Keetra Bippus / Cronkite News
    July 5, 2024

    WASHINGTON – "A federal program to compensate people exposed to fallout from U.S. nuclear testing expired June 10.

    "The #Radiation Exposure Compensation Act has paid out $2.6 billion to over 41,000 people since 1992. In March, the U.S. Justice Department projected that another 1,070 claims would be approved by the end of September.

    “'Why do we have to beg to pass #RECA?' said #MaggieBilliman, whose father, a #NavajoCodeTalker during World War II, died of stomach cancer she attributes to exposure to #fallout that affected their hometown in #Arizona. 'You don’t put a price tag on human life.'

    "Starting with the #ManhattanProject’s Trinity test on July 16, 1945, weeks before bombs destroyed #Hiroshima and #Nagasaki, the U.S. government conducted 94 tests that produced radioactive mushroom clouds in remote areas of the West. Most were over #Nevada. One was over #NewMexico.

    "People #downwind – including many in #Arizona – were exposed to dangerous #fallout, typically without warning.

    "The Billimans’ hometown, #SawmillArizona, on #NavajoLand, is part of the large affected area where Congress made residents eligible for compensation.

    "#Radioactive particles fell throughout Arizona, according to research from Princeton University’s Program on Science and Global Security. The state’s population grew from about half a million just before World War II to over 1.3 million in the early 1960s.

    "Congress adopted RECA in 1992 to address claims from downwinders and uranium miners.

    "The program offers an apology, and lump sum compensation ranging from $50,000 to $100,000 to those who developed certain illnesses linked with radiation exposure, and who either lived in the #FalloutZones or worked at #UraniumMines and #UraniumMills.

    "The law came in response to lawsuits from uranium workers who accused the government of failing to warn them about radiation hazards.

    From 1944 to 1986, nearly 30 million tons of uranium ore was extracted from Navajo lands. The Manhattan Project itself, led by physicist #RobertOppenheimer, was disbanded in 1947, two years after Japan surrendered to end World War II.

    "An estimated 3,000 to 5,000 Navajo people worked in the mines. They and their families lived nearby.

    “'The closer you live to mine waste, the higher your risk of chronic #metabolic disease,' said Chris Shuey, director of the Uranium Impact Assessment Program at the Southwest Research and Information Center, a nonprofit research and advocacy group. 'People who live in these communities next to these wastes, they’re exposed through all of the pathways: air, water, land.'

    "Claims from Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and #Colorado account for $1.8 billion of the payouts under RECA.

    "Most of the #NavajoNation was covered due to potential fallout. About one in seven approved claims – 5,480 through the end of 2023 – have come from #NativeAmericans, 86% of them Navajo, totalling $372.6 million.

    "The Environmental Protection Agency counts 523 abandoned uranium mines on or near the Navajo reservation that spans Arizona, New Mexico and Utah, an area bigger than Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont combined.

    "The Senate voted 69-31 in March to extend the RECA filing period for five more years, with 46 Democrats and 20 Republicans in favor, along with Sen. #KrystenSinema of Arizona and two other independents. Sen. #MarkKelly, D-Ariz., also supported the bill.

    The bill has stalled in the House, with no explanation from Speaker Mike Johnson or Majority Leader Steve Scalise, both Republicans from Louisiana.

    "Their aides did not respond to multiple requests for comment."

  7. In the Shadow of the Bomb: Oppenheimer, Bethe, and the Moral Responsibility of the Scientist by S. S. Schweber

    How two charismatic, exceptionally talented physicists came to terms with the nuclear weapons they helped to create. In 1945, the United States dropped the bomb, and physicists were forced to contemplate disquieting questions about their roles and responsibilities.

  9. The wife and I saw #OPPENHEIMER today on #IMAX.

    Great #film of course. In many ways brilliant. In other ways somewhat pedestrian, but never boring. The cast is also outstanding. In regards to some themes I was left wanting, but overall truly enjoyed it.

    Seeing it on IMAX is certainly worth it if you can.
