[ RadSafe ] body dose

Fri Feb 25 00:05:58 CST 2011

It is sad DOE was able to hide items like this I know from working nukes we all 
have the right to know, and if a company try to hide something it is very bad 
thing.
each night I listen to him cough for hours trying to get to sleep. 
I hear him up around midnight sitting in his chair in the living room trying to 
get his lungs clear.
we all know PU and 241am is bad to keep in your body one year his dose report 
went up in the late 70's to his lungs..
We both worked with guys who were never allowed in rad zones for life do to over 
exposures, two men I worked with had tank go critical it set off the ARMs at the 
badge house 5 miles away. they both revived life dose for neutron. I worked on 
the cleanup in 76 after the line blew apart and McClusky got the big uptake he 
could peg a poppy probe with a tear drop . we lost the entire floor, it was so 
bad we ended up painting the floor white and sealing the room off,
but as it is I could go on and on with it even in the tank farms but heck if it 
were not for handford the war would have went on for a long time. 

thank you and have a nice night

Hi Mark,

I expect that others on this list will be able to provide you detailed
guidance as to what the data you have provided, as well as any other
detailed information that you may have, with appropriate recommendations,
more likely in off-line communication. It appears from your comments that
your father was not provided any real information as to what occurred or
what the tracking information meant until significant time had passed.
This is not unlike other instances well documented over the past 50 years
or so. It is unfortunate but apparently very common.

I hope that others can provide you with the support and information that
you are seeking.

Regards,

Sandy
