This article explains how DOE, DOD, and NRC work hand-in-glove as radiation-pushers.  Apparently Congress is being misled about nuclear power plants and the use of U weapons.  They are apparently being told that the military is not able to use Uranium weapons in the Middle East without having a host of nuclear power plants here.

 

There is already plenty of DU all ready and waiting to be made into weapons for use in Middle East ammo. In fact, the DOE admits to possessing stockpiles totalling 704 metric tons of Depleted Uranium Hexafluoride.

In February, 2005, IEER put that quantity at 740 metric dons of Depleted Uranium in unstable hexafluoride form.

Here's an excerpt:

 

  

When will we stop believing the 30 second sound bites fed to us on network TV, when will we take the time to educate ourselves before taking a position on any issue? In our convenience driven society where the need for energy rules the day, the citizens of Yuppieville, USA and their 20-30 something children are content to accept on face value the nuclear industry's huge propaganda campaign to sell them on nuclear energy...where is the disconnect, how can almost 70 percent of America oppose the Iraq War, support bringing our troops home, be against the use of depleted uranium, yet believe nuclear energy is safe, vital, secure and green. Don't you realize it's all the same damn thing? If you look at nuclear, if you look at the entire cycle, you have to accept that DOD (Department of Defense), DOE (Department of Energy) and the NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission) are all a part of the same train. There is no commercial nuclear industry without its Siamese twin, the military nuclear industry, the two of them joined forever at the hip. Nuclear kills and causes cancers (it is noted here, author wife has breast cancer) at every step of the process, is the most lethal energy source in the universe.

Congressman John Hall in an off the record conversation told one of my anti nuclear friends that he wants to close down Indian Point, but that we have no idea how tied into the Middle East nuclear power was/is. Hall went on further to explain that his access to documents we could not see truly was opening his eyes, and that shutting down any of America's nuclear reactors was not going to be easy because of the situation in the Middle East. Hall was not just speaking of the quagmire that is Iraq, though it was and is a part of it. You see, our Pentagon needs the commercial nuclear industry, and the infrastructure it takes to power it for its own evil purposes, including vast stockpiles of Depleted Uranium, which is used in numerous weaponry to make armor piercing ammunitions and war heads.
