Continued good work from Netherzone[edit]

Thank you Netherzone for your continued good work on this article. I think it is a fascinating topic, and you have done very well pulling together many diverse threads and sources. What further editing plans do you have for this and related topics? Best wishes, Johnfos (talk) 18:57, 19 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Johnfos: Thank you Johnfos for your kind words of support. My plan for the Nuclear labor issues article is twofold: 1) to develop four basic areas in greater depth: nuclear weapons issues, nuclear power issues, radiologic medical incidents that affected workers, and orphan sources that have contaminated laborers/workers; 2) to cover as many countries as are relevant to convey the global significance. Regarding related topics: atomic legacy sites in general are of interest, as are weapons production & testing, radioactive materials mining, processing & storage, accidents & incidents, nuclear activities & indigenous peoples, nuclear ethics. Also film, art and music referencing nuclear/atomic subjects are of interest. There are a few articles in this subject area that I've worked on, from minor edits to contributing content, but would like to contribute more significantly in the future. These articles are: Tsar Bomba, Uranium mining in New Mexico, Nuclear weapon, Totskoye nuclear exercise, Severny Island, Cimarron fuel fabrication site, Climax uranium mill, Nuclear and radiation accidents and incidents, Nuclear whistleblowers, Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, Pondcrete, Nuclear art, Atomic Age (design), Uranium mining and the Navajo people, Kramatorsk radiological accident, Poliske, Kopachi, Atomic tourism, Nuclear ethics, Uranium mining debate, Uranium mining in the United States, Pacific Proving Grounds, Hanford Site, Nuclear knowledge management, Treasure Island Naval Station Hunters Point Annex. All best regards, Netherzone (talk) 02:14, 20 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Again, some very interesting issues there. The role of indigenous people in nuclear-related activities outside the USA could certainly do with more coverage on WP. In Australia, much has happened, especially around the issue of uranium mining and waste disposal. Please see Kupa Piti Kungka Tjuta, Muckaty Station, British nuclear tests at Maralinga, and Kevin Buzzacott as possible starting points. Best wishes, Johnfos (talk) 03:13, 22 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

i hope this article is monitored for vandalism.. The WNA will likely bowdlerize this article if allowed too. --Patbahn (talk) 19:12, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Workers compensation schemes[edit]

It might be an idea for the lead author to consider creating a section dedicated to worker compensation schemes. There are article about these already on Wikipedia, the most recent addition being the UK's scheme for nuclear industry workers. It's a bit light on for data, but important nonetheless. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compensation_scheme_for_radiation-linked_diseases --Danimations (talk) 08:14, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

unclear sentence[edit]

In section "Namibia", the last sentence:

"The Director of Labor Resource and Research Institute (LaRRI), Hilma Shindondola-Mote, mine employees asserted that Rössing did not provide them with explanation of health problems from exposure to uranium."

is unclear – I'm not sure if a word is missing or it is just a question of word order that makes it hard to understand although it might be correct theoretically. Maybe this could be rephrased to make it more comprehendable?
