[ RadSafe ] Radioactive coal to Kyrgyzstan transferred to criminal court

[Stewart Farber]

Perhaps the AG in Kazakhstan should be filing a lawsuit against God for
"abuse of power" in allowing the Big Bang to occur, creating long-lived
heavier elements like Uranium and Thorium. From the citation [
http://en.trend.az/capital/business/1983973.html ]
Cited earlier:

"Kazakhstan supplied 8,576 tons of coal from Kulan field to Kyrgyzstan in
September. Later, the radiation background of the Kulan field was estimated
at 8-10 times higher than the norm. Kyrgyz Attorney General's Office filed a
criminal case against officials of the Kyrgyz Railway and Energo Customs
Procedures Department under the articles "illegal handling of radioactive
materials" and "abuse of power"."

This article should also be forwarded to US environmental groups like the
NRDC [Natural Resources Defense Council], Greenpeace, Sierra Club, and the
so-called anti-nuclear "Nuclear Information and Resource Service"  so they
can begin to file lawsuits against coal mining and coal-fired power plants.

Hmmm... maybe they should be paying better attention:

Not that it's news to most of "us".
