11:21 pm
was sent to the polygon as a government representative. he remembers meeting with soviet officials on one particular day in 1957. last. but michelle, does that political question through brittania that many of the young we train about got their richard. i'm pregnant gun. did you get a stomach would be ready for those by the way, but more in with the yes, but you may tip it either as it was in the murphy law, they got the aftermath of the mullah evolved. but this one got the act that is for the you've got to look at culture, the slaughter fish can only guess to put him there a good they're going to look at the you know, long as there was a problem. it was not. you just get that when you see jim worded year

11:24 pm
literature. there's the muck, you couldn't, you have the time is still the really critical mass. dr. gooses and his team also traveled to the villages near the polygon. they found serious illnesses, particularly long and breast cancers, which had been very rare until the nuclear testing. years later, he studied a sample of the infected population until august because of what they were. mr. smith goes to the ceiling with at the group a go at it. a year was not stopped idea with enough joyously to do the gossip which in you're going to give you have to devote as a petition to the couple of the world as it was. so that the guy we're closer than in your security with us, a doctor who says team are provided with sophisticated equipment to diagnose the disease. it's caused by radiation contamination and they kept good records which
11:25 pm
were sent to the soviet authorities. but how did this research benefit the, villagers to the u.s., they yell or so that charity cheat that they are put through it is that that particular lose almost that celebrity just didn't need it. you'll see thirst would go to absolute. they're willing to 90 way and leave the meaning yet, even though it was there when the a pit bull, the girl, their leader here they say, leave the editorial producer of your dog immediately visit a body bomb. if you're going to be videoed through shrubberies or slow cooked or mirror, what that the body on study, if you were it was a good will see it. but the more thought emotion of sort of the early kotori bit stale civil court regarding the 70 and it wasn't just cancer villages were treated as human guinea pigs. ordinary suited soldiers were also victims of their

11:45 pm
polygon that's still running out of it. so it seems the deputies who did you know what their sam is? it did me. but i was danny. on the other eye when you've met, but it's all 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 through it like years ago. if god, my dear, it would look like yours across syria that 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 refused to accept any responsibility
11:46 pm
for the poisoning of the people of the polygon. in february 1800, rumors spread to underground tests of the polygon that exploded into the atmosphere . the kazakh population growth armed silliman off is a beloved kazakh poet. it is here. everything out there will never to put the most on the set. you go, go get it done, list the president of the hill in yes, let the screwy chat live with limitless clue about your ranch and it's called abilities. soon the men are called
11:47 pm
a public meeting. we don't know about your dear. we think will not get over it. it won't be argued that it would done much good if we could. we could also see does not see a political coming down list. get a read on you could give you the biggest astley this needs to be less skilled in business, she would be a good new board. good. because if done what effect teach kids to play the movement towards democracy in the soviet union facilitated the nationwide protest. good law in the good ol. good whiskas only at the bottom does in your quote deal with discussed on local
11:48 pm
book need only choice. a lot of good ol, 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 son of a padded cell. all the sudden the however, the horror has not gone away. levels of radiation in some parts of the holy ghost remain 10 times higher than normal. the bad. yeah. but idealist yet again. where did you pick up at those ideas that i was watching of us. not a penny played taken out of my lap. now would you dear adam, up in your ear?
11:49 pm
what is a postcard your reward? iyam of what a slug. oh my god, you got me granny, to me, towns not coming when you deliver, but using your method. i'm just the money doesn't follow, doesn't close on to a little news to most of all of us to not get to the world all of the world in the sight of a lot of the people to love the hour was almost similar to the of course we were to believe you only morally opposed to me or the other worst of symbols of this i'm alone. this swayed the most recent
11:50 pm
11:52 pm
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 second earthquake,
11:53 pm
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
11:54 pm
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 normal 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, reservoir's, 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 realize 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 thing? 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, 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 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 earthquakes, 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
11:57 pm
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's the database, 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 for 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. to see you again soon.

well, the heat waves gone from sydney, but in darwin it's a different story altogether. probably wanted rain in the forms of fairly hefty showers. this is just local car park footage, but you can see the pretty good nothing more to come in the immediate future. the line of weather is further science than that thing there. that's the front which went through city the winds changed means we've gone from 40 to 29. it's still warm in adelaide, they're up 32 on monday there's that frontal system gathering to come in behind it . the weather in purses nice and quiet, but not warm. at 20 degrees and in adelaide you go down to 23 is the rain? probably thunderstorms comes through the major right in victoria,
