[ RadSafe ] Radioactive wasp nests in Washington (Hanford)

[Doug Aitken]

Hmmmm:
Seems to me that most news coverage and legislators discussions seem to be
loaded with piles of this same substance......
;~)

Dear Group:

AND, of course, the Chernobyl cleanup hit some snags when dealing with piles
of horse manure. It seems that the high cation exchange capacity of the
manure concentrated cesium and strontium on the surface of the manure!

If you look even harder you might find radioactive poop from migratory
waterfowl that spend some of their time "in the southeast US".

This certainly comes as no shock to anyone involved in Oak Ridge cleanup  If
they look hard enough, they will also find contaminated deer poop.

I bet that competing risks there are: The sun (skin cancer), rattle snakes

(if you are at the wrong place at the wrong time) and perhaps another

potential eruption from Mt. Saint Helens (radioactive fallout - many Bq

but low dose...).



What was done in the best with regard to nuclear waste was probably

not the best (contamination of the Columbia river etc) - a topic that

I am sure that some other Radsafers could comment in detail (uptake

of Cs-137, Zn-65 and other radionuclides).



My personal reflections only,
