[ RadSafe ] Genotoxicity of U

[Steven Dapra]

Dec. 16

         This link is to a unsigned polemic against DU.  At the 
bottom of the polemic is a link to a PDF article by --- would you 
believe? --- Chris Busby.  He quotes himself 13 times, and quotes a 
few other articles that he co-authored.  Chris, baby, you're so hung 
up on yourself you wouldn't recognize an ostrich if he walked up and 
offered you a sand manhattan with a fake cherry made of DU and 
painted sky blue pink.
