[ RadSafe ] Fwd: [New post] Japan's strange and menacing radioactive black substance

[Brennan, Mike (DOH)]

Wow.  The leap from "we have some black dust with Ra-226 in it" to "it
must be unused fuel rods" is something worthy of a Hollywood special
effects department.  That Arnold Gundersen would associate himself with
such a statement decreases his credibility in my eyes, and THERE'S a
difficult thing to do.

More from Arnold Gundersen's bunch trying to scare the #$# out of the
Japanese and the world - is there any substance to this or is is
completely fiction masquerading as scientific fact?

Japan's strange and menacing radioactive black substance

by Christina MacPherson

I would say they're much more an ingestion hazard. And that usually
tends to target children and agricultural workers. [...] A child on
average consumes between 100 and 200 milligrams of soil a day because of
hand-to-mouth activity. So that's something to really think about.

12 July 13, This week Fairewinds Energy Education interviewed Marco
Kaltofen, a leading scientist who studies radiation as well as specific
radioactive isotopes. Marco and Arnie discuss a recent sample that
contained highly concentrated radioactive material from Japan's
Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident. As the sound quality of
this recording varies, we have transcribed the podcast so you can read
along.  Read Marco's Report: Radiological Analysis of Namie Street Dust

Marco Kaltofen, President at Boston Chemical Data Corp. & Doctoral
student researcher at Worcester Polytechnic Institute: [...] We kept
hearing reports about something unusual, a black dust [...] we finally
got a very small sample of that [...]

What's different about this material is unlike a lot of the soil and
dust samples we've gotten, there's a real uniformity to this stuff.
It's a single substance.  Read more of this post
