[ RadSafe ] Note the Portland Conference Mentioned at the End of This Message!

[Roger Helbig]

All the big anti-DU crusaders will be at this conference -- this would be an excellent opportunity to focus the lens of the media on the charlatans that populate the anti-DU crusade.  Upsilquitch is believed by some to be Asaf Durakovic's assistant Ted Weyman but he carefully conceals his identity - I guess if you can not identify who they are you can't disprove their statements.

Subject: [DU-WATCH] Questions for Upsiliquitch 
    
Mr. Upsilquitch,

Forgive my terribly naive questions.  This is a very important subject 
but time does not permit me to give it my full attention not to mention 
the science can be complicated.  My questions are:

1. Do you believe that DU is a benign substance and the entire subject 
is moot or do you think it is dangerous and simply differ with the 
methodology for studying it?
2. If you think it is benign, given the 4.x Billion year halflife and 
the creation of DU oxide dust particles, do you think it is worth the 
risk to put this in the environment for eternity.  In case you are wrong, 
especially given that DU is a weapon of destruction, nothing necessary 
for the betterment of mankind.
3. If you think it is benign then what is it about DU that makes it 
safer than mercury or lead or any other heavy metals?  Does the 
radioactivity provide some capacity for healing or negating the impact of heavy 
metal toxicity?
4. Regarding the tooth study, has this already been proven to be 
irrelevant or is that an assumption extrapolated from other studies?

Thank you kindly,

Steve E.
PS: For anyone interested there is going to be a very significant 
conference on the subject of Depleted Uranium and nuclear pollution in 
general. It will be held in Portland, OR on 4/14.  Dennis Kyne, Doug Rokke, 
Thomas Fasy, Greg DeBruler will be the speakers.  More information will 
be posted to this board as the date draws near.
