> New study finds multiple myeloma linked to radiation exposures of
>nuclear workers
>
> Increasing exposure to ionizing radiation boosts the risk of
>multiple myeloma, a rare but often fatal cancer of blood-forming
>tissues, especially among people exposed later in life, according to a
>new study of workers at four U.S. Department of Energy plants.
> The study, conducted by University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
>researchers, analyzed radiation exposures among plant employees and
>compared them to health records. Older workers with cumulative radiation
>doses of five rem or more were almost three-and-a-half times more likely
>to die from multiple myeloma than workers at the same plants whose
>cumulative exposures were less than one rem.
> The current occupational limit for radiation workers is five rem per
>year. Average background radiation is between a tenth and a third of a
>rem per year depending on what is being counted, such as radon.
> A report on the findings appears in the April issue of Annals of
>Epidemiology, a scientific journal. UNC-CH School of Public Health
>authors are Dr. Steve Wing, associate professor; Dr. David Richardson,
>postdoctoral fellow; Suzanne Wolf, research associate; and programmer
>Joy L. Wolf, all of epidemiology, and Drs. Douglas J. Crawford-Brown,
>professor, and Gary Mihlan, research assistant, both of environmental
>sciences and engineering.
> "Workers exposed to ionizing radiation at older ages appeared to be
>more sensitive than younger workers," Wing said. "However, that does not
>mean that it is safe for young workers to be exposed to radiation.
>Exposures during the child-bearing ages might lead to genetic mutations
>that could affect children and future generations."
> UNC-CH researchers identified 98 workers who died of multiple
>myeloma and 391 age-matched controls from a combined roster of 115,143
>people hired before 1979 at the Hanford (Wash.), Los Alamos National
>Laboratory (N.M.), Oak Ridge National Laboratory (Tenn.) and the
>Savannah River (S.C.) nuclear facilities, he said. Information on work
>history, smoking, medical X-rays and exposure to physical and chemical
>agents came from personnel, medical, industrial hygiene and health
>physics records, including readings from radiation badges known as
>dosimeters.
> The study included workers who died through 1990 or, among Hanford
>employees, through 1986. Male workers and those hired before 1948 died
>of multiple myeloma at about twice the rate of women and workers hired
>after 1948, the scientists found. Blacks were almost five times as
>likely as whites to have developed the illness, although only five cases
>were found among blacks.
> The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health requested
>and paid for the study because of previous reports suggesting a link
>between exposure to ionizing radiation and cases of the cancer at the
>Hanford site, Wing said.
> "Our study, which was the largest ever done on this question in U.S.
>nuclear workers, was intended to include more cases of the disease,
>better evaluation of radiation doses and measurement of other
>occupational exposures not available in the Hanford studies," he said.
> Investigators also tried to determine whether workers exposed to
>solvents, metals, welding fumes asbestos and other agents faced
>increased risks of multiple myeloma, Wing said. Records of such
>exposures, however, were inadequate to enable the scientists to
>calculate increased risks accurately.
> Because exposures to ionizing radiation were almost entirely below
>what government regulations currently allow, the findings could affect
>federal occupational exposure standards, the scientist said. He and his
>colleagues initially hoped to extend their research to other cancers of
>the blood-forming organs but were required by their contract to limit
>the study to multiple myeloma.
> "One important element of this work is that it comes at a time when
>the U.S. Department of Energy is expressing greater concern for workers'
>health and the history of radiation exposures in the nuclear weapons
>complex," Wing said.

>Peace protesters at the last, full-scale operating nuclear weapons
>production plant in the United States closed the plant in a nonviolent
>direct action on Sunday, April 9, 2000. Wearing T-shirts that read
>"Claim the Future, DISARM NOW" eighteen protesters, supported by more
>than 200 demonstrators, successfully blockaded all three entrances to
>the Y-12 nuclear weapons plant in Oak Ridge.
> At one entrance, protesters closed and locked a security gate,
>stretched a thick cable across the roadway to prevent traffic from
>circumventing the blockade, and took up residence on the road behind a
>large mock missile that was stenciled "DISARM NOW." After more than
>thirty minutes, two fire trucks arrived and the cable was finally cut
>with the "jaws of life," equipment usually put in service to save lives
>rather than destroy them, and the protesters were taken into custody.
> At the west Bear Creek Road entrance, peace demonstrators road and
>walked nearly two miles onto DOE property, making a human chain to block
>traffic, before they were intercepted and arrested and charged with
>trespass.
> At the main entrance on east Bear Creek Road, protesters held a huge
>banner which pointed out the nuclear weapons production violates
>international law. Five protesters were dragged from the street,
>surrounded by singing supporters, and all seven were arrested for
>blocking traffic.
> Arrested in the action were Danna Baxley of Frederick, MD; Traylor
>Biasiolli of Charlottesville, VA; Betty Coleman of Knoxville, TN; Lena
>Feldman of Asheville, NC; Jason Fults of Berea, KY; Andrea Golden of
>Auburn, MA; Anne Hablas of Jacksboro, TN; Megan Jackson or Maryville,

>of Winter Park, FL; Chlo=E9 Tewksbury of Berea, KY; Shelley Wascom of Lake
>City, TN; and Ruthy Woodring of Pineville, KY.
> In a statement released before the direct action/civil disobedience,
>protesters noted that their actions were in defense of international
>law, pointing out that the World Court ruled in 1996 that the use or
>threat of use of nuclear weapons is illegal.
> Jason Fults of Berea, KY, said, "I don=92t want my grandkids to have to
>worry about the threat of nuclear war. I plan to outlive bomb production
>at Y-12. Until bomb building stops, I will continue to return to this
>facility to put my body in the way. One day, I will look into the eyes
>of young people, and I will tell them that I did my very best to give
>them a safe and sustainable society."
> The action at Y-12 attracted more than 65 students from around the
>southeast who came to claim their future. The students participated in a
>day-long workshop, "Building the Nonviolent Community" on Saturday,
>followed by contra dancing. On Sunday, a workshop on "Researching
>University and College ties to Nuclear Weapons" was presented by Brad
>van Guilder of Ann Arbor, Michigan. The workshop was followed by a march
>through Oak Ridge to the bomb plant, a rally, and the direct action.
> Closing the day, more than 80 people gathered for the weekly Vigil for
>Peace at Y-12. The Oak Ridge Environmental Peace Alliance, sponsors of
>the weekend=92s activities, has been holding weekly vigils at 5:00 on
>Sunday afternoon since late November.
> The events of April 8-9 were part of the ongoing Stop the Bombs
>campaign sponsored by OREPA and two dozen other regional and local peace
>groups.
>
>The future for those arrested:
> Megan Jackson is a juvenile and her case will be handled separately.
> Gordon Maham, 83 years old, told the judge, "I don=92t believe I did
>anything wrong," but entered a guilty plea in General Sessions court in
>Oak Ridge. The state requested a fine of $50 (the maximum), and Gordon

106th CONGRESS
1st Session
H. RES. 369
On reducing the risks and dangers associated with nuclear weapons in the new
millennium.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
November 9, 1999
Mr. KUCINICH (for himself, Ms. WOOLSEY, Mr. HINCHEY, Ms. BALDWIN, Mr. OWENS,
Mr.
MARKEY, Ms. MCKINNEY, Mr. GUTIERREZ, and Mr. JACKSON of Illinois) submitted the
following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on International
Relations
RESOLUTION
On reducing the risks and dangers associated with nuclear weapons in the new
millennium.
Whereas it has been 10 years since the end of the Cold War and thousands of
nuclear weapons still exist and remain on hair trigger alert postures
prolonging the possibility of accidental nuclear war;
Whereas the United States has failed to fulfill its obligations toward nuclear
disarmament under article IV of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty to pursue
negotiations in good faith on effective measures toward nuclear disarmament;
Whereas the bilateral measures for nuclear arms control under the Strategic
Arms Reduction Treaty (START) process have ground to a halt with restrictions
by the Congress for further cuts below START II levels until the Russian Duma
ratifies START II;
Whereas in 1991 President George Bush ordered the United States to unilaterally
withdraw tens of thousands of forward-deployed nuclear tactical weapons and
remove thousands more from high alert status and Russian President Gorbachev
reciprocated;
Whereas on August 19, 1999, Russia proposed additional reductions by cutting
nearly in half the number of nuclear warheads that would be allowed under a
prospective START III treaty and the United States failed to agree to the
offer; and
Whereas previous congressional resolutions on furthering complete nuclear
disarmament (such as H. Res. 82) require the urgent attention of the Congress
to adopt such measures for the prompt reduction of nuclear weapons ; and
Whereas a congressional delegation met with a Duma delegation during the war in
Kosovo and successfully promoted cooperation and built confidence between both
countries: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
(1) urges the President to initiate emergency negotiations with Russia
leading to reciprocal reductions in the strategic and substrategic arsenals in
both countries;
(2) welcomes House Resolution 82 and requests the support of the
Congress to promote measures through the United Nations on nuclear disarmament;
and
(3) requests that a congressional delegation convene meetings to
discuss nuclear disarmament of United States and Russian nuclear arsenals with
a delegation from the Russian Duma as soon as possible.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES</div>
<br>
<div>
November 9, 1999</div>
<br>
<div>Mr. KUCINICH (for himself, Ms. WOOLSEY, Mr. HINCHEY, Ms. BALDWIN,
Mr. OWENS, Mr.</div>
<div>MARKEY, Ms. MCKINNEY, Mr. GUTIERREZ, and Mr. JACKSON of Illinois)

<div>
RESOLUTION</div>
<br>
<div>On reducing the risks and dangers associated with nuclear weapons in
the new millennium. </div>
<br>
<div>Whereas it has been 10 years since the end of the Cold War and
thousands of nuclear weapons still exist and remain on hair trigger alert
postures prolonging the possibility of accidental nuclear war; </div>
<br>
<div>Whereas the United States has failed to fulfill its obligations
toward nuclear disarmament under article IV of the Nuclear
Non-Proliferation Treaty to pursue negotiations in good faith on
effective measures toward nuclear disarmament; </div>
<br>
<div>Whereas the bilateral measures for nuclear arms control under the
Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) process have ground to a halt
with restrictions by the Congress for further cuts below START II levels
until the Russian Duma ratifies START II; </div>
<br>
<div>Whereas in 1991 President George Bush ordered the United States to
unilaterally withdraw tens of thousands of forward-deployed nuclear
tactical weapons and remove thousands more from high alert status and
Russian President Gorbachev reciprocated; </div>
<br>
<div>Whereas on August 19, 1999, Russia proposed additional reductions by
cutting nearly in half the number of nuclear warheads that would be
allowed under a prospective START III treaty and the United States failed
to agree to the offer; and </div>
<br>
<div>Whereas previous congressional resolutions on furthering complete
nuclear disarmament (such as H. Res. 82) require the urgent attention of
the Congress to adopt such measures for the prompt reduction of nuclear
weapons ; and </div>
<br>
<div>Whereas a congressional delegation met with a Duma delegation during
the war in Kosovo and successfully promoted cooperation and built
confidence between both countries: Now, therefore, be it </div>
<br>
<div> Resolved, That the House of
Representatives--</div>
<br>
<div> (1) urges the President
to initiate emergency negotiations with Russia leading to reciprocal
reductions in the strategic and substrategic arsenals in both
countries;</div>
<br>
<div> (2) welcomes House
Resolution 82 and requests the support of the Congress to promote
measures through the United Nations on nuclear disarmament; and</div>
<br>
(3) requests that a
congressional delegation convene meetings to discuss nuclear disarmament
of United States and Russian nuclear arsenals with a delegation from the
Russian Duma as soon as possible.
