[ RadSafe ] Hawaii Health Guide - Big Island Dairy Farmers fight radiation with Boron

[Busby Chris]

There is no physics or chemistry based basis for this idiocy. How can borax help in this situation? If the cows are contaminated the milk is contaminated. Boron absorbs neutrons in a neutron field. I hope there are no neutrons inb the cows.
They could perhaps push out the uranium and strontium with calcium supplements. That might work. Its the Sr and U and PU that are the nasty nuclides here in the milk.

I strongly suspect that these well meaning dairy farmers are doing more harm
than good.  Is that the case or does sodium borate do no harm?  If it does
harm especially to the resulting milk, then the State of Hawaii's health
department should be made aware of this.
