President Dummkopf Trumpf issued a series of executive orders that, in part, require the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to consider dramatically weakening its radiation protection standard. If federal radiation limits are gutted in the manner urged by the Dotard-in-Chief, the new standard could allow four out of five people exposed over a 70-year lifetime to develop a cancer they would not otherwise get. A major study covering an international cohort of over 300,000 nuclear facility workers has found that annual doses well below 1 rem create measurable increases in the risk of developing a variety of cancers, and that "even tiny doses slightly boost the risk of leukemia." A second massive study of nearly one million European children found that those who received a CT scan, at an average dose of 800 millirem (0.8 rem), suffered a measurable increase in their risk of getting cancer.

Dummkopf Trumpf continues attacking the quality-of-life for everyday Americans. The malevolent Trumpf junta wants to sicken or kill poor Americans by either starvation, poverty, inadequate healthcare, environmental degradation, rampant firearm shootings, poor aviation safety, unvaccinated people, poor healthcare policies, foodborne illnesses, and now low-level radiation poisoning. To the oligarchs and Republicans, our illnesses and deaths are profitable since the US is the only modern industrialized country without universal healthcare. Sick Americans are a cash-cow in the for-profit American healthcare industry. Links: Idiotic NRC Ukase; Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists; Radiation Cancer Study.

The National Radiation Map depicts environmental radiation levels across the US and is updated in real time every minute. The average citizen (or anyone in the world) can see what radiation levels are anywhere in the USA at any time.
