Stomach cancer may be successfully treated with the alpha particle, bithmuth 213? The particle attached to a cancer antibody and sent like a guided missile straight to the cancer.

Other cancers have been successfully treated in this manner including stage four ovarian cancer, with reportedly, no significant damage to surrounding healthy cells. Which the journals reported having been successfully trialed in European clinics in 2006.

Other cancers reportedly successfully treated over half a century, have been, myeloid leukemia, pancreatic cancer and some very nasty inoperable brain cancers.

Bismuth 213 can be made with great expense and massive energy requirements, by bombarding radium with particles in a collider.

Or as a vertually free byproduct of nuclear energy, ie, MSR thorium. Converted to U233 in the blanket of an operational reactor.

Had Fukushima been an MSR thorium facility. It would have simply shut itself down without any harm to anyone or anything. And arguably a much more efficient way of extracting energy from the nuclear reaction in complete walk away saftey!

As for the subs? We should cancel all previous deals unless they are supplied as nuclear powered and nuclear-armed. Given the threats now posed by a hostile a belligerent bully. With a nuclear arsenal and is, a la 1938, rapidly arming and bellyaching about former territory/empire being lost!

And there are at least three candidates, who could become the new axis of evil? And cannot/must not be appeased! But threatened with immediate reprisals or M.A.D! Turkey?

I mean we need to take a leaf out of President Kennedy's resolute uncompromising attitude, if only to make the bullies take stock of what they could lose, instead of what they may gain!

It really has become a lose it or use it situation? And a way to finally convince others the best use for weapons grade plutonium is inside nuclear reactors, i.e., MSR technology. Which just burns and burns it until it can never ever be used in a nuclear weapon, but perhaps serve as a completely depleted material, still useful in longlife space batteries.

Footnote. We should take note of Japan's example in managing covid-19.

Given it is one of the most congested places on earth and their low covid-19 numbers/infections!

N.B. Nowhere in that land can one go outdoors without seeing a law abiding compliant public not wearing masks!

We have antivirals that seem to help?

And the spread could be further slowed if we followed the Japanese erudite example!

And given my druthers, I'd want the Israeli saliva test, rolled out and used around all hot spots by incoming and outgoing transient public movement. Canberra is such a, public transient example, by a few infected, trying it on!

With immediate offshore quarantine, on Christmas Island? For the travelling infected. Given our comparative lack of compliance! And right wing, cage-rattling, conspiracy crap/verbal vomit!

Of course Australia and Japan have a created a unique and impressive partnership in the Asian world.

I mean they're both Asian aren't they?

Japan of course has always been Asian and Australia is now an Asian nation-state created during the Great Asianization Period (1980-2020) in Australian history.

Alan B,
Of course they manage better, that's to be expected, they are disciplined !

individual,

Wrong!

They got that way by modelling their post-WW2 corporate structures and behaviours on American management systems.

Think teamwork. Everyone's got to have team.

The Japanese watched & learned & then made use of the knowledge gained. They could not have achieved that without discipline & Patriotism !
I wonder if any of those who call themselves Australians could relate to that !
Unionists should not even attempt to comprehend, it'll only give them a headache.
