[ RadSafe ] Hawaii Health Guide - Big Island Dairy Farmersfightradiation with Boron

Sun May 29 14:53:37 CDT 2011

This is pretty funny, coming from the "King of Insults." Now we have paranoia, not believing anyone is who they say they are. Since the post critiizes all US lawyers as requiring psychiatric care (I agree lawyers aren't all that respected) I hope the lawyers in Austria are not in the same boat. Who knows, you may even need one at some point!

A thought, maybe you're not Franz, just spoofing him. Worse, maybe you're a troll!!

What this person posts under the name of Chris Busby is not only insulting, offending or whatever synonym you want to read. If it really is the Chris Busby he pretends to be, he is without doubt a case for psychiatry. What about the US lawyers and their incredible adulation of his capabilities? Are they also a case for psychiatry?

Measurements of Sr90 in milk were what resulted in the test ban in 1963. Go back to school and learn some chemistry. The ignorance of you guys is beyond belief.

I am a member of the International Union of Radioecologists, a real organisation, not a fake one like Busbys "European Commission of something with radiation". I have suffered many years from the Chernobyl aftermath in Austria - of course only because of the hysteria and the drawback in my carreer, because I did not support the hysteria and thought that other - naturally occurring radionuclides - were of much  more importance for human radiation exposure than the finally hardly measurable ultra traces of Cs-137.

> Chris, you are insofar wrong: Although I also hope that cows have not ingested neutron sources, you should be aware that Sr-90 is deposited in bones and it is hardly, if at all, possible to get rid of it. Uranium concentration is enhanced in other organs - use the ICRP XX or the valid EU directive to find out about critical organs - I am not going to do this for you, unless you make a reasonable financial offer, which should not be so difficult because of your obvious fine income for instance from US lawfirms. Regarding the hazards from plutonium (I suppose you mean Pu-239?) I refrain to comment on this nonsense. If you know about any measurements of Pu-239 in milk I would appreciate to learn about them. You seem not even to be aware, that the long term concern is Cs-137, short term also Cs-134. There have been more than enough experiments after Chernobyl on how to reduce the Cs-137 in milk, with limited success. I think that a reduction by a factor two does not justify the

  effort and the costs.
