[ RadSafe ] German professor with ideas about nuclear power &health effects

[Ben Fore]

Dear Dr. Schönhofer,

Thank you for your direction to send what I think is important to you and
the RADSAFE list.

Do you, Dr. Schönhofer, support the empirical quantification of the extent of
reproductive harm of uranium smoke and its uranyl ion?
