Doomberg: Debunking Fears and Misconceptions About Nuclear Energy

Doomberg joins the conversation to discuss why he and the rest of his team have decided to remain anonymous and shares his thoughts on Ontario’s energy-strategy document and how the province is far ahead of the U.S. in its energy journey (19:15). Doomberg then discusses his take on climate change. He mentions that he’s bullish on the human spirit and the ingenuity required to fight climate change. That said, he believes it’s unfair to minimize the impact that modern human development has had on the environment. The state of industrial pollution, for example – especially in China – is a real-world scandal (29:50). Finally, Doomberg concludes with the prospect of a gold-backed currency and nuclear power. He and Dan discuss the ongoing anti-nuclear propaganda and the need to reevaluate the public perception of nuclear energy as a viable and safe solution to climate change (45:53).

  • It is Doomberg who is suffering from massive misconceptions about the harmlessness of nuclear waste and nuclear power. The International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, in a 2011 report called “Health Effects of Chernobyl” found that 25 years after the disaster, more than 90 percent of “liquidators”—the soldiers and civilians, numbering at least 740,000, who fought to contain the reactor fire and clean up afterwards—were severely ill or had become invalids. The radioactive exclusion zone surrounding Chernobyl covers 1000 square miles. In 2011, the National Ministry of Emergencies of Ukraine issued a national report entitled “Twenty-five Years after Chernobyl Accident: Safety for the Future.” The report found that by 2001, no more than 10 percent of the children living in the seriously contaminated zones of Ukraine were considered healthy. Prior to the dispersal of radionuclides from the Chernobyl explosion, 90 percent had been healthy. The key to one map that displays the radioactive control zones and exclusion zones surrounding Chernobyl uses the amount of radioactive cesium-137 per square kilometer as the basis for the restrictions. 40 Curies of Cs137 per square kilometer makes the land uninhabitable. That is less than one half of one gram; 1.2 grams of cesium-137 makes a square mile uninhabitable. Each spent fuel pool at US nuclear power plants (one pool per reactor) has about 900 to 1000 pounds of cesium-137 within the used uranium fuel rods that are stored in the pool. Not “safe and clean”, Mr. Chicken.
