Om Hawken teve Gidora Obert Anderson New Brighton Park Hastings Renfrew ee a RY Sunday, June 1, 1986 Increase in radiation linked to Nevada test Continued from page 1 The U.S. Department of Energy has now admitted — more than three weeks after the fact — that it permitted the radioactive tunnels to be “vented” on April 22 and again on April 27. Department of Energy officials claim that the only radioactive compound released into the atmosphere was an inert gas, xenon. Contacted by the Tribune, radiation spe- cialist Dr. Rosalie Bertell took issue with that claim, noting that whatever fission products from the blast were in the tunnels would have escaped into the atmosphere when the tunnels were aired. Asked whether the higher than usual radiation levels that Canadians are expe- riencing might be partially the result of the Nevada accident, Dr. Bertell replied, “cer- ~ tainly they could.” She added in an interview with The Van- couver Sun May 16: “I’m suspicious that the radiation that you’re getting in Van- couver came from a major accident in Nev- ada.” She noted, “the fact that increased levels of radiation were first noted in Ottawa, while corresponding measurements were not seen on either the Atlantic or Pacific coasts, suggests to me that it originated on this continent.” “Ottawa could answer this question,” said Bertell. “If they do an isotopic analysis, they can tell whether the radiation came from a bomb or from a reactor. If they have done this, they’ve certainly not told us the results.” She noted that official statements from Ottawa have been very careful not to drawa direct link between the abnormal radiation levels many Canadian communities are experiencing and radiation from the Cher- nobyl accident. The general impression being given, however, is that all unusual readings must derive from Chernobyl. The “Mighty Oak” test was one of an ongoing series of Star Wars research pro- jects. Under development is a hydrogen- bomb powered X-ray laser weapon, which the Pentagon hopes one day to base in space as part of its anti-missile “defence shield” the details of what went wrong with the April 10 test were not disclosed by the Department of Energy until its statement to the press last week. The major reason for U.S. refusal to accept the Soviet moratorium on nuclear tests, said Dr. Bertell, is the Reagan admin- istration’s determination to proceed with Star Wars development. © May 24, 8 p.m., Vancouver East Club Pub & Talent Night © Snacks and Refreshments Vancouver Indian Centre, 1607 E.
