Mike Johnson suffers from a sensory deprivation condition common among Republicans: He can't see or hear anything inconvenient.
RAJU: If defenseless survivors were killed, would that constitute a violation of the laws of war?
MIKE JOHNSON: I'm not going to prejudge any of that. I was pretty busy yesterday. I didn't follow a lot of the news.

Making matters worse, contaminated grasses and other feed consumed by cows in the radiation zone concentrated the iodine-131 released in the “Green Run” in cows’ milk, which was then consumed by unsuspecting citizens across the region, including—almost certainly—many people who worked at Hanford.

A retired Hanford radiation control manager subsequently told a local reporter that the original plan was to disperse the radiation great distances, possibly as far as Minneapolis, but that adverse weather and rain greatly limited the actual spread. “We really plastered the Columbia Valley.”

Incredibly, this story only became public in 1986 thanks to Karen Dorn Steele, an enterprising local reporter for the Spokane Spokesman-Review, and environmental activists who used the Freedom of Information Act to unearth and declassify key documents. Yet even today, many facts remain classified.

Two to three times more radiation than expected was released. The Atomic Energy Commission dispatched personnel to secretly monitor the effects and found contamination 20 times above existing “tolerance levels,” especially on vegetation. But the government never alerted the public to the danger.

Problems with detection equipment and contamination of the on-site monitoring laboratory by the radioactive plume made it impossible to ascertain how much radiation was actually released. A dose reconstruction in the mid-to-late 1980s estimated the amount of iodine-131 alone at 11,000 curies.

The fuel was dissolved in acid at the T Plant just 16 days after being removed from a reactor at Hanford (rather than after the more typical 90-day waiting period that allowed the most dangerous radioactivity to decay to safer levels). In addition, safety filters on the high stack were disconnected.
![A black and white high-contrast photograph of the T Plant at Hanford, where highly corrosive chemicals were used to separate plutonium from the uranium fuel rods "burned" a nuclear reactor. The building is an 800-foot-long, multi-story windowless rectangle, 65 feet wide and 80 feet tall. There is an even taller stack for venting radioactive emissions in front. Radiation levels inside were so high that nearly all operations had to be carried out remotely. A handwritten caption reads "Atomic Bomb Plant — H.E.W.

The purpose of the experiment was to determine if specially-instrumented aircraft could detect radioactive emissions from nuclear fuel production facilities by mimicking what were thought to be operating conditions in the Soviet Union, in order to better assess Soviet atomic bomb production rates.

Today in 1949, the US Atomic Energy Commission and US Air Force conducted a secret experiment at the Hanford Reservation in Washington State, exposing thousands of people living downwind to dangerous levels of radioactive iodine-131 and xenon-133 from freshly-irradiated or “green” uranium fuel.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.

Instead of the police arresting and prosecuting old people holding signs, they should be doing proper police work; like tackling violence against women and girls.
THIS SHOULD BE A PRIORITY!
