The document discusses the risks of nuclear energy at each stage from mining to power generation to waste disposal. It notes that radiation levels increase significantly at each stage and questions whether nuclear energy is truly safe. Concerns are raised about radioactive contamination of land, vegetation, animals and humans from mining, enrichment facilities and nuclear plants. Examples of health impacts near uranium mines and from past nuclear disasters like Chernobyl are presented. Renewable energy options are proposed as safer alternatives that could meet much of India's energy needs.
This is a detailed presentation of the nuclear power scenario. Waste disposal, contamination,Inpacts on humans, animals and environment,Accidents Etc. It aslo give light to the plight in the uranium mines of Jalguda. Impact ares in case of an accident in India , What are the alternate for Nuclear energy and the myths about nuke energy. why we risk the lives of croes for generating just 10% of energy needs ......

Prevention and elimination of disrespect and abuse during childbirthVijaya Sawant,PMP, OCP
Worldwide many women experience disrespectful and abusive treatment during childbirth in facilities. Such treatment violets the rights of women to respectful care. It can threaten their rights to life, health, bodily integrity, and freedom from discrimination. This WHO statement calls for greater action, dialogue, research and advocacy on the important public health and human rights issue.
Christian Berthelot’s photography is focused on caesarean births. He prepared himself by training in a surgical environment and sought permission from the doctors and mothers he would be working with. The mothers receive a photo in return for their participation – a stunning image of their child’s birth.

Every day more than 500 women are dying during the child birth. Majority of deaths are preventable if we give them access to reproductive health information. This presentations shows how to reach pregnant women to give them information about how to take care of themselves and their child.
Heredity is the passing on of characteristics from one generation to the next. It is the reason why offspring look like their parents. It also explains why cats always give birth to kittens and never puppies. The process of heredity occurs among all living things including animals, plants, bacteria, protists and fungi. The study of heredity is called genetics and scientists that study heredity are called geneticists.
Through heredity, living things inherit traits from their parents. Traits are physical characteristics. You resemble your parents because you inherited your hair and skin color, nose shape, height, and other traits from them.
Cells are the basic unit of structure and function of all living things. Tiny biochemical structures inside each cell called genes carry traits from one generation to the next. Genes are made of a chemical called DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Genes are strung together to form long chains of DNA in structures known as chromosomes. Genes are like blueprints for building a house, except that they carry the plans for building cells, tissues, organs, and bodies. They have the instructions for making the thousands of chemical building blocks in the body. These building blocks are called proteins. Proteins are made of smaller units called amino acids. Differences in genes cause the building of different amino acids and proteins. These differences cause individuals to have different traits such as hair color or blood types.
A gene gives only the potential for the development of a trait. How this potential is achieved depends partly on the interaction of the gene with other genes. But it also depends partly on the environment. For example, a person may have a genetic tendency toward being overweight. But the person's actual weight will depend on such environmental factors as how what kinds of food the person eats and how much exercise that person does.
In India, China, ancient Greece, medieval Europe, and other civilizations food is inextricably linked to spiritual and physical health. "You are what you eat".
“ आपल्याला काही वेदना किंवा दु:ख सहन करण्याची भीती वाटते तर आपण त्याबद्दल काय करू शकता याचे शक्य असल्यास परीक्षण करावे. जर आपण त्याबद्दल काहीही करू शकत नाही, तर त्याची काळजी करण्याची आवश्यकता नाही आहे."

Women differ widely in their reaction to childbirth. Some women are giving evidence of great distress and others maintaining a high degree of equanimity throughout labor. Dolorimetry is a laboratory method of measuring painfulness to obtain reliable estimates of spontaneous and experimentally induced pain intensity. Dim lights, peaceful surroundings, privacy, and warmth will create a calm environment for a woman to enjoy birthing experience. The comforting activities will relieve woman's fear about labor pain directly or indirectly. Many comforting activities are inexpensive.
Over 500 children die from AIDS every day because they lack access to the treatments necessary to keep them alive and thriving. Yet they continue to lag woefully behind adults when it comes to HIV treatment coverage. Children cannot continue to be left behind in the HIV/AIDS epidemic, they must be a global priority.
There is no expense and no equipment needed. All the attendant has to do is pause, let the baby breathe and then clamp the cord. Simple pause can save baby from dying or being admitted to intensive care unit.
4. Radioactive Waste
• Generated at each stage - Mining, Enrichment, Power Generation
– Waste from Enrichment has been used in Depleted Uranium (DU)
bombs used in Iraq
• Even 21st century science has NO ANSWER for Nuclear Waste
Disposal
– Waste contaminates (beyond scope for inhabitation) a huge area in its
vicinity for 1000’s of years
What about the
Is it Safe?
Environment &
People?
home
5. Radiation Contaminates Always
• Even if there is NO NUCLEAR ACCIDENT
– Around a Uranium Mine
– Around an Enrichment Facility
– Around a Nuclear Plant
– Around Nuclear Waste
An area of 30-35 km radius gets
contaminated by nuclear radiation regularly!
home
6. Radiation Spares Nothing
• Impacts Vegetation - Agriculture
– Trees near Jaduguda Uranium Mines have DEFORMED SEEDS
– Agricultural produce is bound to carry unacceptable amounts of
radioactive content
• Impacts Animals
– Radioactive Boars on the rise in Germany (thanks to Chernobyl)
• Impacts Human Beings

7. Nuclear Accidents Are Worse!
• Chernobyl : An area of 1,00,000 sq km is UNINHABITABLE for
20,000 years. FOREVER.
Date: 26 April 1986
Plant Capacity: 900 MW
8. Nuclear ‘Meltdown’ in the USA
• Three Mile Island, Pennsylvania: Happened in 1979 due to the
meltdown of fuel rods
• Health effects mostly unstudied or kept clandestine

28. Improving Existing Energy Efficiency
• India can save 30-40% of its electricity deficit by simple
Conservation techniques
– Improving the efficiency of existing power plants (we are way behind
international standards at the moment)
– Decentralizing electricity generation to reduce long distance
transmission losses
The cost of implementing these Efficiency Improvement
Measures is MUCH LESS THAN that of setting up New Plants
home
29. Conserving Electricity
• We can save 30% increased demand of electricity by 2013 by
using energy efficient electrical infrastructure at home
– Fans, Incandescent Bulbs, Tube Lights
– Refrigerators, ACs, Air Coolers
– Electric Water Heaters
– Computers, TVs, DVD Players, Set-Top-Boxes (active mode)

39. And Our Government’s Gift for US
• The Nuclear Civil Liabilities Bill by our government says that:
Any foreign company WILL NOT be held
liable for any nuclear accidents on Indian
soil, whatsoever
They WILL NOT pay any Compensation
We CAN NOT sue them in Indian or
Foreign courts
