[ RadSafe ] Radiation from Uranium Oxide

[Emer, Dudley]

Considering that the typical 70kg adult has about 4.4 kBq of K-40 in the
body which is "shooting" 380,160,000 "powerful radioactive bullets" a
day it would seem that the 1 mg of "deadly" depleted uranium oxide is
pretty well outgunned.

Subject: [ RadSafe ] Radiation from Uranium Oxide

Bob Nichols in his April 7 article - PTSD, infertility and other
consequences of war makes the following claim about radiation - I am
quite
sure it is bogus, but I would like to have accurate information to
refute
it.  Thank you.

"Each tiny milligram (of Depleted Uranium Oxide) shoots about 1,251,000
powerful radioactive bullets a day with a range of about 20 cells of the
human body for thousands or even billions of years. This is according to
noted mathematician and radiation expert, Rosalie Bertell, Ph.D., GNSH."

Nichols claims that this is weaponized uranium oxide ceramic gas -
something
that we all know does not exist.  Does anyone have the boiling point of
Uranium Oxide readily handy?

What is the approximate size of one 1 milligram of DU Oxide?

If anyone would like to help me take apart either the Nichols article or
the
Jerry Mazza article that has been spun off of Nichols's lies with even
bigger Mazza exaggerations, I sure would appreciate the help.  I am
starting
with the Nichols article.  I am hoping if I can show that this is
totally
preposterous that Mazza's article will be hoisted on its own petard.
