The CDC, NIH and the FDA are abusing dangerous substances, but they are not alone.
Sounds like the end of the world in the movie about a pandemic of selection. Live samples of the deadly smallpox virus was found in an unused warehouse space is the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland. Also hidden in a forgotten room with 12 drawers and 327 bottles full of viruses that cause dengue fever and influenza, and the bacteria responsible for typhus.
At the same time, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced in June that it is estimated that 75 of its researchers were exposed accidentally to live anthrax bacteria without the use of proper safety equipment. Last week the CDC revealed that the staff was wrong to dangerous substances at least four times in the last decade, such as the transport of pathogens of Ziploc bags and send a live sample of the bird flu in a small security lab, which was ill-equipped to receive it.
This is not the movie settings. These too are only the most recent actual errors in the long history of the dangerous mistakes of those entrusted with the highly dangerous viruses against nuclear warheads. No one was injured in any of these cases. However, CDC Director Thomas Frieden, testifying before Congress last week, admitted that his agency had "missed a critical model ... is not enough, the culture of safety."
Edwin Lyman of the Union of Concerned Scientists, research specialist ' Global security program, says he's not too surprised by the recent lapses.
"There is a level of complacency , which creeps in among people who have been entrusted with a very high value targets and materials," he says. "There is no acute threats, many people let their guard down. They get careless. "
Medical and research materials
Technical Service Center have long favored the transparency of security. When I was an undergraduate in the late 1990s, a large State University, I studied science in the laboratories where pathogens and nuclear materials was held open refrigerators, sometimes just a few steps away from the classrooms and even a kitchenette.
Many universities, research institutes, and medical centers in the United States began to increase security after the terrorist attacks in 2001, says Lyman, but the process is not as wide as many people think.
"Use of radioactive materials are common, and they have a strong therapeutic and diagnostic analysis of the customs value, cost and putting them on security is a tough place for many people to," says Lyman. "You raise the cost of treatment by adding the security threats that are usually quite remote against."
But even in the remote future threats are worrying. Medical radioactive materials from falling into the wrong hands and getting changed"dirty bombs" --conventional explosives that disperse radioactive material with the r?j?ytett?ess?.
In 2012, James Blair, a United States Army Colonel and former President of the Nashville-based Center for Health Care Emergency Readiness told members of Congress that "four out of five hospitals, blood banks and medical university-based organisations will not be able to ensure that what the Defense Science Board, the biggest immediate threat of nuclear weapons by terrorists: a medical research nuclear Use."
The discussion of this issue heated up in Massachusetts this summer, when State officials began prodding hospitals to compensate for more expensive blood bactericidal reflectors, x-based alternatives. Bactericidal reflectors, which are used to treat blood before transfusions, contains dangerous radioactive caesium chloride powder, which could be used in dirty bombs. The National Research Council (NRC) non profit, independent agency has called for their prohibition.
Accidental exposure to cesium chloride in Brazil in 1985, have killed four people, contaminated with 249 and required 112,000 will be monitored.
The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) examined the blood bactericidal reflectors security 2012 is found out, one of the hospital in an unnamed City, was posted on the door frame, the combination of the status of the device locked up. Another anonymous hospital saved bactericidal reflectors in the basement, which was open to the public. One of the machines was held up to the wheeled pallet.
The missing weapons
It is not only in the medical and academic communities, who have had a hard time keeping a close eye on dangerous substances. The premises used by the Government and the civilians who oversee high-quality nuclear material for weapons and power plants, such as plutonium and enriched uranium "are chronically unsecured, says Lyman.
A stunning lapse in security occurred in the year 2012, when three of the demonstrators at the 82-year-old nun, as infiltrated by the u.s. Department of Energy of the Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, where nuclear weapons and the fuel is stored. The protesters hung banners, sang songs, and offered to share the food with the guards before they were taken into custody.
"It is not a one-time problem," says Lyman. "It was a demonstration of the site security tricky."
Later in the same year, the employees of Halliburton reportedly lost nuclear fuel rod that they were carrying in the Texas desert. The railway rights about a month of searching. Statement is unconvincing as a speaker is probably intended, a spokesman for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, said "the visit for the first time, the loss of radioactive rod is found to the NRC for at least five years."
Things do not seem to have gone much better for the Department of Energy. the inadequacy of the administration of the institution, according to a report by the GAO in 2013, "Save" and control of the contractor have left the Agency's risk group "," because the contractor performs many critical functions, including. This year, the GAO criticized the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration to be able to tell how it increases security.
The army has also had trouble securing its nuclear holdings. According to the u.s. Army War College by 2014, the US military has lost more than five tons of weapons-grade nuclear materials for decades,enough to make over a thousand bombs. For example, evidence that 100 kilograms of ydinasekelpoista uranium, who disappeared from u.s. defense contractors, in the mid-later ended up in Israel, where the country's nuclear program helped fuel.
Recently, in 2007, six cruise missiles were mistakenly loaded with nuclear warheads on bombers in North Dakota in the United States air force and fly to Louisiana without the proper safety precautions. 2010 air force partially lost contact with 50 missiles, due to a problem with the hardware.
The general public assume that the hazardous materials such as smallpox and plutonium held tight under lock and key. That seem to be most of the time. But when any dangerous goods concerned can be allowed?
Comment:With an emphasis on the "dangerous mistakes" and "complacency" of the missing "a very dangerous substances, viruses, nuclear warheads"; It is also very possible that they have usurped the false flag operation.
