[ RadSafe ] Radioactive wood pellets...

[John R Johnson]

I agree.

It would be interesting to know the fallout at the latitude and longitude 
that the pellets were harvested from. See NCRP report 52 at 
http://www.ncrppublications.org/Reports/052 for background information.

The major concern is not the wood pellets, themselves, but the source of the 
contamination. Is there a serious lack of control somewhere?

One theory offered is that this is due to Chernobyl fallout. This is 
plausible, and should be investigated.

It's not about dose, it's about trust.

I agree of course with the comments that relate to the lack of quantitative 
(meaningful) data for the wood pellets. This far we have not seen any of 
that.



I may mention that we had radioactivity levels on a court desk in Sweden 
some years ago (it was about releases - Bq values). According to one of my 
friends (PhD in the nuclear field, math smart and with very relevant 
experience) who was present these lawyers et al. understood nothing about 
radiation doses etc but they took a (very) costly decision in the matter.


My personal ideas only,
