Letter: All radiation is destructive

Letters to the Editor
OPINION: So nuclear-free Wellington is to have a radioactive isotope enhancer. Does this mean the United States will promise to bomb us, just as it threatens Iran for the same process?
I'm told that people who undergo medical treatment with radioactive isotopes may not take anything home afterward, including their clothes, because of the danger of radiation contamination. What difference does that make? They'll die anyway.
So what happens to the clothes then? Are they dumped into Cook Strait?
The "experts" tell us that the isotope isn't dangerous, so why does it need walls 2.5m thick?
I had to laugh when I read that the National Radiation Laboratory has ensured it meets international standards. No standards exist and everything coming from the laboratory is lies, anyway. This is the same gang that permits cell sites emitting microwave radiation next to people's homes or high-tension powerlines with destructive magnetic radiation over the top of houses. All radiation is destructive. Radioactivity is now the favoured method worldwide to get rid of political opponents and spies.
I'm sure cabinet ministers won't be living next to this hospital bunker.

The government should ban this medical facility, then take immediate steps to address the enormous burning ball of hydrogen which constantly bombards our fragile planet with radiation. It will be too late for 'should-have-dones' when the mutants reach the steps of parliament.
