Nuclear industrialists stole workers' organs

In Great Britain: families discover that the organs of the deceased workers at the Sellafield nuclear plant have been stolen ...

How Sellafield 'mutilated' its workers' bodies

Everything is allowed on the human herd, it seems?

the aim was undoubtedly to measure the effects of radiation on human organs permanently exposed to low or medium doses ...

Impossible to do otherwise, even if it is immoral. :?

it's called "collateral damage" of the nuclear industry. Among others...

I say: fortunately that organ donation is anonymous !!! Who wants an irradiated liver? (sorry it's not funny for those who need it ...)

I haven't read what does it say in 3 sentences?

Are we sure it's not for research?

The problem is above all that the necessary authorizations have not been requested from the families, and they have not even been informed.

As for the results of the measurements, the article does not even mention it.

An "informal arrangement" existed between Dr Schofield and pathologists at the West Cumberland Hospital and he was "easily able" to obtain organs for analysis. Dr Schofield and his successor would return to their laboratory at Sellafield with the organs in a cool box.

There they were weighed, labeled and stored in a freezer before being analyzed and then taken to the low-level waste repository at Drigg. The report said Dr Schofield took "somewhat dubious steps to obtain organs" in cases that were of particular interest to him, and accused him of a "manipulation of the coronial process".


Funny, once analyzed, the organs went into the storage of low-level nuclear waste. We will have seen it all : Mrgreen:

But it makes perfect sense.

Families would have massively said no, so no statistics possible (it takes a lot of samples to conclude something credible).

The actual results are probably not very bright, therefore impossible to disclose in order to prolong fissile habits and customs.

It's good research then ... : Mrgreen:

for those who would like to eat radioactive livers ...

They are there

This Low Level Waste (LLW) Repository has operated as a national LLW disposal facility since 1959. Wastes are compacted and placed in containers before being transferred to the facility. Following a major upgrade of disposal operations in 1995, all LLW is now disposed of in engineered concrete vaults.

Plutonium Contaminated Materials are being removed from the site for long-term storage at nearby Sellafield.

Yum yum!

Which variant do you prefer? Dried, fossilized or frozen?
: Mrgreen:

ps: speaking of livers, we bought a heifer liver from the village butcher last week (generally, like many, we take it in supermarkets :| ) ...

Well it was a delight! The difference was obvious ... we will buy more to see if it is confirmed or if it was an "exceptional case" ...

If you have the opportunity try to make the comparison! : Shock:
