Nuclear Investigations from Iraq

A US military health physicist and radiation expert in Iraq has endorsed a call from Greenpeace for the UN nuclear experts, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), to be given a full mandate to search, survey and decontaminate towns and villages around the Tuwaitha nuclear facility near Baghdad

When they invaded Iraq, the US and UK failed to safeguard dangerous nuclear material, secured at Tuwaitha while under Saddam Hussein's regime, and highly radioactive materials have ended up in local communities where they are threatening people's health and environment.

There is no safe dose of radiation. Exposure to radiation at any level can increase the risk of developing radiation-linked diseases like cancer. The way to minimise the risk is to minimise exposure to radiation as far as possible.
