[ RadSafe ] National Academies Project: Toxicological and Radiological Effects from Exposures to Depleted Uranium During and After Combat

[bobcherry at satx.rr.com]

You are correct, John. The anti-DU activists will undoubtedly detect bias on the committee somehow and use that to discount any conclusions unfavorable to their causes.
However, the report will go a long way with our legislators (I hope, irregardless of its conclusions). I look forward to reading the final report.
I do not know who is (or will be) on the NAS subcommittee. If any RADSAFERs know or find out, please post the list.
