they're going to get. very good. today the greatest tragedy the kazakh people face is the ill health of their children. the dire effects of the radiation contamination are seeping down from one generation to another. him in. just year dogma that drugs in the. hills are shared by most. of. the presidents upon the streets. the really rather crude would you do set the record in your cause of. trauma look at the bottom. of the

geneva women get the list that you. just back in an image. by lady t. but you will not that no go or the 1st dallas interstates or east jerusalem which hasn't told us addict you lose put on your idea. that you know. the nicest mittimus we have needed where. the clip gives you who are going to summited. vehicle or get of his summit is that a cause or its a shift or a new is just in the slow it down which you know it's not merely one of them is me on the no no it is just in there preaching. i knew when she does the same one this

is the way that i would. see it was this year the company and of. the kids of just over $3.00 with a daily there is a way it's a political tool and there's always somebody to give him water so. it's a stupid scent of beauty they are supposed to it's. not going to to pass the bad something mean to stage name on a defeated staying. out of the money supply and they need to rebuild their traditional community it's going to take in my own minister to see hasn't been told until then but one. east coast of syria ends of a given yes yes and i believe i am clearly. resisting political enough to see the new patrice millet causing me. my postage scanning mia into position but it's got on the steep inescapable process that in his persistent click on

a. group conviction through. his district. attorney replied cripps in the rain. and blog on the initial raudonikis decision he was really. pretty quick question to just just that honest necessity you're a democratic strategist said because i discovered that rather take over because i never take you over. to the city to call any of the. children most of the started as they should. but one which has no legal blue chips wouldn't believe me too and others who have. more muscle

don't want to lose my spot on the blue or don't want to just like lauren that was one of life's most involved want to just not support what. i want to just not support him will get chills just want what my want to kill they want. well then you know i'm going out on what could we get. all of them one get the 12 that cannot or need to come up because just which i'm. sure you've. probably read through single media gives a flea. market in. the morning to listen. this was a little education for all of us are. the live prisoners. in canada.

i saw them a strong national political you had to just go bustling in years to give me your name because i started to sweat nationally school became sisters shapes is a bit over mr bush both of us believe unitarian as. you know sort of took over if you want to sleep with bill and mr still. are of course which is a statement you're a mr bush. which will cut loose leaf thank you because i should. pull it off by being jewish and whether there was just. because i start a clock or i'd not put him there was that i was away for the upset when i'm drunk that the children should get a couple years because of this certain posters look at the start of a sudden a civil social cause of love but also the promotion of it you are pushing the greedy permission i was going to see on the atmosphere is that if you are going to secure the site yet they used what the quit the course for just because of the website i have come to go cause. its in my sleep if you buy your motors they should

formulate it at a video on you but you gonna kill more usually assume that i see what it was useful simple that's completely gone. soviet officials have long blamed the poor health of the polygon villagers on anything but exposure to nuclear contamination it was the fault of poor diet inadequate sanitation a harsh climate and the faulty genes of the kazakh people from time immemorial. an or kashagan of are is a kazakh filmmaker who in 1900 confronted soviet officials with the facts about the polygon. that said i mean yeah i've yet.

it seems to temper is what it is now that there sam is it to me but i was stony or your eye when you put it so when you. look to those to know. this attitude has not changed much in the russia of today he really did pass of is a senior radio chemist in st petersburg what years later bust through it like years ago at the object like you've got my dear it would look like here's a question over there or you. or news is news when you see news i would have probably idea believe. the kazakstan government hands are barely adequate pensions small payouts and free health care to the victims of radiation contamination. but the russians categorically refuse to accept any responsibility for the poisoning of

the people of the polygon. in february 1900 rumors spread to underground tests of the polygon that exploded into the atmosphere. the kazakh population growth harmed. us silliman off is a beloved kazakh poet is based here everything others will never. see but that most of us see it you're going to get damaged goods even if that removes the force is that is he in yes little scary. shit as leverage in the movie screw what you've learned. it's quite. soon the men are called a public meeting we don't know about or. here we think will. not get

over it it won't be argued. that. he would ban. me give me. a could he could also simply. say a pilot is going to give him the whole. damn lift get a read on. a kid be the biggest asshole. this needs to. be less skilled in. business he would be a good new dog good because if done what effect each only place the movement towards democracy in the soviet union facilitated the nationwide protest. all the. good bargains. here was because only at the edge it was a dumb decision you quit deal with discussed on local book need only choice.

all the. good honest citizens movement to a successful in 1990 on nuclear testing ceased in the polygon of kazakstan. in 1902 soon after independence from the soviet union the country became a nuclear free cell. done in the past all of the sudden. however the horror has not gone away. to. levels of radiation in some parts of the bald eagle remained 10 times higher than normal. yeah but idealist yet again would you pick up. a brunette beauty. as i did up there watching it was so clear the guy not a penny played a thing in that my life. now would you be at them up in your ear. is

a postcard your reward e-r. margaret a slug oh my god. you got me granny to me downs not coming. when you deliver but using your method i'm just the money. doesn't follow doesn't close on to the original thought of all the rest of you took the world all over the world in the. sight of a lot of the people to love the. hour was almost similar. can come to the one looking to. be with them leave you only. to meet the other worst of simplest of. this i'm alone with this. devotion. we are through a little zillion not

a predicate for these images of the mr. i don't know. what's with the scars and will call them up her chair. and way to put into them to where. i'm wish.

silent bombs a disturbing reminder of the long term consequences of nuclear testing but since that film to add a new field of research has emerged as a member i mentioned the north korean nuclear test at the start of this program the one which registered as the equivalent of a 6.3 magnitude earthquake well it wasn't a natural earthquake of course but just 8 minutes later and a little over 5 kilometers away there was another earthquake a real one measuring 4 point one real in the sense that it wasn't a bomb but it definitely wasn't natural it's what's known as a human induced earthquake and there are a lot more of them then you might think and we're going to discuss that now with professor julian folger who's compiled a database of more than $700.00 quakes which were probably caused by human activity professor it's a pleasure to have you with us can you talk me through that. 2nd earthquake which i described there in north korea iran and what it was this earthquake which was 8

minutes afterwards it could have been simply a geological fault that had been induced to slip or it could possibly have been implosion of the huge cavity that's formed by the test it's well known that this occurs it's been observed many times for example at the nevada test site with american nuclear testing and following these tests there's such a disruption of the local stress fail that swarms of earthquakes often occur what's been to your knowledge the biggest of these human induced earthquakes the biggest earthquake which has been proposed on scientific grounds to have been human induced is the 2008 magnitude 7.9 when trying a quake in the people's republic of china. this has been proposed to have been triggered started off by filling a reservoir locally and because of the nature of earthquakes they just require

a little jog to set them going and then they can just keep on and on and develop into a big earthquake and that is is possibly what happened on this occasion so then how careful do we as humans now need to be if this is you so you've got a database of 700 of these potential quakes what do we need to be thinking about more when building things or living off explosions or whatever it might be how how much more careful do you think we have to be everybody i think was surprised at the huge range of activities that can induce earthquakes and these include mining filling reservoirs building tall buildings extracting gas and oil and i could go on and on so when we build a big project we have a mine we have a reservoir we explore in oil or gas or just. thermal reservoir or something like this of course is great economic benefit but there's always

a downside there industrial accidents there are road accidents there's environmental damage in this kind of thing and we now realise that there can can also be induced earthquakes and this needs to be added to the portfolio of health and safety hazards that should be managed whenever a big project is undertaken do you think hydro schemes need to be perhaps rethought i mean they are a. very popular way of generating energy you'll see you know hydroelectric dams all over the world but do we need to rethink that sort of. scheme there's definitely a case for including seismic monitoring equipment when a dam is built in the reservoirs impounded and also doing geological investigations to assess what the seismic risk might be somewhere in the world are you seeing this issue the most is that i mean i think of earthquakes i think of somewhere like california for example or japan well. one would have to say oklahoma because

the state of oklahoma in the united states. used to not be very seismically active a tall they were just a few earthquakes and very it was very rare that any of them troubled anybody. but because of the increase in the oil and gas operations there and also changes in strategy such as injecting large amounts of weight sporter oklahoma has gone from being completely off the map when it comes to earth quakes to being more seismically active than california just funny do you get any pushback professor from your research people saying not just not true 1st of all i'd like to get on the radar screen. quite database is completely freely available to everybody from w w w dot induced earthquake. all but what we think coded in it is not just

earthquakes or earthquake sequences that we're absolutely 100 percent certain were induced by human activity we've included everything that has been proposed on scientific grounds so the database comes with a caveat emptor or that here is the data base here's everything that's been published and it's up to you to make your own decision about whether you believe this or that case professor jim involves or what a fascinating topic and i'm really glad we could talk to you about it thank you so much for your time it was a pleasure kemal thank you and that is it from us to join us again next week and also check out the rewind page out as a result com for more films from the series i'm come on santa maria thanks for joining us i'll see you again soon.
