[ RadSafe ] Busby is a waste of bandwidth

[Douglas Minnema]

Just for perspective, the exact same exposure route used to occur with beryllium workers and their families, but with completely different effects.  The wives were coming down with chronic beryllium disease from washing the husbands' clothes.

If I recall, figuring this out and stopping it was one of Merrill Eisenbud's big successes in the early 1950's.

         Thank you for pointing this out about uranium mill 
workers.  Some 15 y. ago I worked on the UMTRA project.  One of the 
employees told me her father her father worked in the mill.  He would 
come at night covered in yellowcake dust, and now, at age 
approximately 80, he was as healthy as could be.

         The daughter was in perfect health too, and had no birth 
defects or genetic deficiencies.  Perhaps U is not a genotoxin after all. . . .
