[ RadSafe ] Denmark challenged over B52 crash

[Brennan, Mike (DOH)]

"Many Thule survivors have died of radiation-related illnesses due to 
the lack of medical monitoring, and current survivors risk contracting 
such fatal illnesses," says the accompanying resolution"

I suspect that if pressed to produce names and medical histories of the
"many" there would be indignant hand waving, perhaps words about patient
confidentiality, and in the end little or no support for their position.

The news report says,

"A search for plutonium in the urine of 115 workers thought likely to
have been most exposed to contamination had found no trace. "

AGAIN, THE RADIATION EXPOSURE ACCUSATION IS GIVEN MORE CREDIBILITY THAN
THE TRUTH.
