christian louboutin discount people are scared
250 christian
louboutin evening shoes million for Bikini Doctors ordered a second
evacuation of bikini in 1978, and the environmental group greenpeace evacuated
rongelap a few years later. "Now they tell us it will be safe for us to go back
again, but the christian louboutin
discount people are scared to believe them a second time,"Says bikini mayor
tomaki juda. Waiting for safe return christian louboutin slingback For years,
the affected islanders have been considering resettlement options.Experts
demonstrated how radiation levels could be lowered to scientifically acceptable
levels an annual exposure of 100 millirems per person as long as people avoided
eating large amounts of local food. "I'd read these reports over and over again,
i was more or less comfortable with the 100millirem level,"Says jack niedenthal,
the bikinian's americanborn trust liaison, who has a bikinian wife and children.
"It did bother me that it always sounded like an experiment.I mean, how safe can
you feel when every month or so you have to tell your eightyearold daughter that
it's time to go get into the whole body [radiation] counter? " The community
remained divided over the issue of whether it would be safe to return.Then last
year enewetak's honolulubased attorney, davor pevec, discovered that in 1997 the
us environmental protection agency had adopted a 15millirem standard for the
resettlement of radiologically contaminated sites in the us. The standard has
since been adopted by the marshall islands.One washington official says while
nobody contests that us standards should be applied to the cleanup,"There may be
some serious sticker shock when they [congress] see the numbers. " Mr.Pevec's
case, pending before a special marshallese court, calls for $115 million to
remediate the northern half of enewetak atoll.He's also asking for approximately
$310 million for enewetak's southern islets, resettled in 1979 after a $105
million us cleanup operation. Bikini has already received $90 million from the
us for cleanup and resettlement, but the new standards will require as much as
$250 million more, according to mr.Weisgall.The case, also pending before the
marshallese court, asks for several hundred million dollars in additional
compensation for hardship.Similar claims from rongelap and other atolls are
expected to follow. A ruling by the marshallese court is expected this year, but
the trust fund provided by the us to settle such claims already has been
effectively exhausted.That means either the marshall islands government or the
atoll's separate attorneys must appeal to congress to pay. Officials in the
marshall islands make comparisons to the us cleanup effort at a contaminated
nuclear site in hanaford, wash. "Congress has spent $12 billion at hanaford
without even putting a shovel in the ground,"Weisgall says. "They ought to be
over sticker shock by now. "
