Climate risks by radioactive krypton-85 from nuclear fission. Atmospheric-electrical and air-chemical effects of ionizing radiation in the atmosphere

by Paul Langley, 9 Nov 2015

”The study shows that krypton-85 from nuclear fission enhances air #ionization and, thus, interferes with the atmospheric-electrical system and the water balance of the earth atmosphere. This is reason for concern: There are unforeseeable effects for weather and climate if the krypton-85 content of the earth atmosphere continues to rise. There may be a krypton-specific #greenhouse effect and a collapse of the natural atmospheric-electrical field. In addition, human well-being may be expected to be impaired as a result of the diminished atmospheric-electrical field. There is also the risk of radiochemical actions and effects caused by krypton-85-containing plumes in other air-borne pollutants like the latters’ transformation to aggressive oxidants. This implies #radiation smog and more acid rain in the countries exposed. This study summarizes findings gained in these issues by various sciences, analyses them and elaborates hypotheses on the actions and effects of krypton-85 on the air, the atmosphere and the climate."

Paper: Planetary Thermal Imbalance & Extreme UV Levels in Summer

D.L. Jones [Geophysics] Cairo University Giza, Egypt, 2 June 2012

"Krypton-85 and other ionizing isotope contamination in the upper atmosphere has changed the upper atmosphere dynamics, and is creating extreme seasonal Northern Hemisphere UV and weather events. There are ~1000 nuclear reactors around the world. This includes nuclear power plants, research and military reactors. All these reactors release krypton-85 as part of their normal normal operations. The #Fukushima nuclear disaster released enormous amounts of krypton-85. Krypton-85 releases change the atmospheric electric conductivity, ion current, and the Earth's magnetic field! More evidence to support my view that the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster has damaged the upper atmosphere, caused ozone damage, and created significant weather changes."

Yes, I wrote a paper and did an in-class presentation for a Geography class about how humans were altering the ionosphere with Krypton-85. I got an "A+" on the paper, especially for my excellent citations. I don't post things just for the sake of "fear mongering" -- I post them to make folks aware of the true costs of #nuclear power. So yeah, I have actually read the papers -- and summarized the research.

Boeck, W.L.

Abstract
[en] Krypton-85 is a radioactive inert gas produced during normal operations of the #nuclear fuel cycle. The quantities of krypton-85, that will be produced in the next century, are sufficient, if released, to alter the electrical state of the atmosphere. The principal hypothesis is that an anthropogenic alteration of the electric state of the atmosphere could alter other #meterological phenomena and lead to significant #environmental impacts."

Geophysical problems of krypton-85 in the atmosphere
Styro, B.I.; Butkus, D.V.,1988

Abstract:
The circulation of the inert gas krypton-85, penetrating into or generating in the atmosphere as a result of natural as well as artificial processes (operation of the nuclear fuel cycle industry) has been studied Krypton-85 is abundant in the Earth atmosphere and penetrates into its geospheres: hydro-, litho- and biosphere. Due to the development of the #nuclear power industry krypton-85 accumulates continuously in the air what causes the surface and especially near water atmosphere #ionization increase. While the increase of the krypton-85 concentration there will not effect the biological world of Earth and man, it may start influence the geophysical processes, taking place in the atmosphere, that will lead to the #precipitation redistribution, the Earth planetary electric charge decrease, the changes of the Earth magnetic field, etc. This proves the necessity of the non-living nature dosimetry
