Half life (1/9)

PROGETTO 4.1 - STUDIARE GLI EFFETTI A LUNGA E BREVE DURATA DELL'ATOMICA SUORGANISMI UMANI1 Marzo 1954 - Subito dopo la prima bomba H russa, gli Stati Uniti sperimentano gli effetti della radiottività della prima bomba H statunitense (test "Bravo") sugli abitanti - volontariamente non evacuati, i documenti e alcune testimonianze recentemente scoperti lo provano - delle isole Marshall.I discendenti degli antichi navigatori del pacifico furono sacrificati innome della scienza, della follia umana, del razzismo ideologico.Il famoso regista di documentari, Dennis O'Rourke, in questo suo splendido e crudo documentario, "Half Life" (1985) racconta con l'ausilio di testimonianze dell'epoca e filmati eccezionali questa terribile storia, una storia quasi sconosciuta alla coscienza dei più ma indelebile sulla pelle e nelle malattie delle vecchie come delle nuove generazioni degli atolli vicino a Bikini.--- ---- ----The Americans exploded the H-bomb, code-named Bravo, on Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands, 2,000 kilome­ters northeast of Australia, on 1 March 1954. It was the heightof the Cold War and this, the first deliverable hydrogen orsuper-bomb detonated by the U.S., heralded the opening of aterrifying new chapter of the arms race.Hundreds of people living on the tiny nearby islands ofRongelap, Rongerik, and Utirik in the Marshalls were exposedto massive radioactive fallout from Bravo, as tons of pul­verized coral and debris from Bikini were sucked up into afireball 35 kilometers high and dumped on the islands down­wind. Children played in the deadly white fallout dust thinkingit was snow.Six years earlier, the Americans had tested two atomicweapons at Bikini. They were modest by today's standards —at 20 kilotons each about as powerful as the bombs whichdevastated Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Before these blasts theislanders within a 500 kilometer radius of Bikini were evacu­ated as a precaution.Bravo was a different story. At 15 megatons, it was 1,000times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb. It was alsothe biggest hydrogen bomb ever tested by the U.S. And, wenow know, it was the "dirtiest" in terms of fallout: this wasthe bomb that really alerted the world to the dangers of radio­activity. Yet none of the islanders were warned or evacuatedbefore Bravo.The Americans have always argued that the fallout expo­sure was an accident. According to the official version putforward at the time by Lewis Strauss, then head of the U.S.Atomic Energy Commission, the upper level winds shiftedsuddenly after the blast and failed to follow their predictedpattern which would have taken the fallout away from Ronge­lap, Rongerik, and Utirik.But according to facts which emerge from Half Life, thisstory was a smokescreen. The film accuses the U.S. AtomicEnergy Commission, in charge of the Bravo test, of knowingthe islanders would be directly in the fallout's path and ofdoing nothing to move them. These assertions, culled fromrecently declassified documents, are backed up by interviewswith two American weathermen and a radio operator who werestationed downwind from Bravo, and who insist that the fall­out disaster could have been avoided. One of the weathermen,Gene Curbow, is suffering from leukemia and is suing theU.S. government. He attributes his cancer, like that sufferedby many Marshallese since Bravo, directly to radiation expo­sure. The people from Rongelap, the atoll closest to groundzero for Bravo, received the most lethal fallout dose. In thefour years after Bravo, women on Rongelap had a miscarriageand stillbirth rate more than twice that of unexposed women.More than 60 percent of those on Rongelap who were agedunder ten when Bravo happened have undergone surgery forremoval of thyroid tumors. In 1972 a teenager from Rongelap,Lekoj Anjain, who was a year old when contaminated in 1954,died of myelogenous leukemia. His was the first death of aMarshallese which the American authorities admitted was dueto fallout. The boy's parents have since received $50,000compensation.Medical teams from the Atomic Energy Commission(now the Department of Energy) began examining the is­landers immediately after the Bravo blast and have returned todo follow-up tests at least once a year since then, as part of anofficial study of the exposed people.
