[ RadSafe ] Busby & other wastes of bandwidth

It's always good to remember that one anecdote does not an epidemiology study make.

         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. . . .
