[ RadSafe ] History of Assembly Bill 75 - Wisconsin

[Dan W McCarn]

This is reminiscent of what happened in New Mexico regarding uranium mining:
When the anti-nuclear opposition failed to stop an NRC administrative
hearing from re-confirming a mining license, the opposition went after the
state legislature to change the ground water quality standards (not drinking
water quality standards) for uranium.

There is also a DU initiative:

Department of Health Tests Military for Depleted Uranium Levels

(Santa Fe) - The New Mexico Department of Health is testing New Mexico
veterans and active duty personnel who may have been exposed to depleted
uranium in the Persian Gulf War, the Afghanistan conflict or the current war
in Iraq. The Department of Health will make appointments to test individuals
in every county of the state from Nov. 13 to the week of Dec. 17th.

This program is focused only on testing for DU, nothing else.

It is a shame that the bill does not call for something useful, such as
the collection of samples (blood, tissue, urine, and hair) of troops
before they deploy, to be compared with samples collected after their
return.  DU is only one of a number of chemicals that could be tracked
and correlated to health effects, and thus allow some real progress in
understanding what the underlying causes are.  I suspect the anti-DU
community would be very much against a systematic approach like this.

This has already been signed into law and is now Act 46 - it creates a
study committee, just like in Illinois.  Radiation health professionals
should see if they can either become members of or provide input to this
committee.
Does anyone in Illinois know anything about the committee there that I
fear could become a platform for Doug Rokke or Mohammed Daud Miraki,
two-self professed DU experts who are vehement members of the anti-DU
crusade and who have treated the truth with extreme prejudice!
