AW: [ RadSafe ] RE: Is this radiation damage? / Attack on coal-firedplants

Dan,

Thank you for this comment, which is not really directed to my comment on
Bjoerns message, but serves as a very good re-comment anyway......

It supports my comment insofar, that it seems to support if completely.
Diphteria - Chernobyl, rabies - Chernobyl, dystentery - Chernobyl.....

Already at the international conference at the IAEA in Vienna on "10 years
after" the problems of malnutrition, poverty and avoidable diseases was
discussed extensively. Do you or did you expect any appropriate reaction
from the green hardliners?  

A good question: Who are actually the green hardliners? They seem to be
extremely well organized, so there must be a mastermind behind. Who finances
them - a good question which for instance Greenpeace in Europe has never
answered. ----- I am tired of answering these ridiculous nonsense, because -
Don't disturb me with facts, I have made up my mind.

Best regards,

Franz

Bjorn, is there any indication of when this photo was taken?

My gamma dosimeters during 1995 -1996 while living in Belarus and
working on a Chernobyl project had only 80% of the raw counts on my
control dosimeters in Albuquerque.

While I worked in Belarus, I recall that there was a "hot spot" of
endemic diphtheria in Southern Belarus and Northern Ukraine. I got a
tetanus-diphtheria booster from my doctor before going there along
with a series of rabies shots because of the packs of feral dogs. I
did manage to get chronic dysentery the first summer there, and lost
15kg.

This area is infamous for extreme poverty, malnutrition and outbreaks
of preventable diseases. Trying to hang every odd disease on
"radiation" in the face of such hunger and poor sanitation is crazy
and a great dis-service to the people living there, especially to
those kids in the orphanages.

I consider the area around the Pripyat Swamp north of Chernobyl one of
the most beautiful places in the world.

Of course, this is only my opinion having worked there and
skinny-dipped in the Pripyat River.  What do I know?

8 in the slide show. What do you think? - I question that this radiation
damage - has anything like this been seen for instance after irradiation
