Greetings,
I am wondering, is there, in this publication or any other, part about those 
soviet workers with a much higher exposures to plutonium suing for the 
restitutions?
I bet there is no.
This part of the story is waiting to be written until a majority of them will 
not be around any more and than some, who will be still left, will receive 
apologies for that "terrible past of the soviet era mistakes" and those new 
political leaders, who ever they will be, will be taken a political credits. 
Sort of a cynical view, isn't?  
Well, than I will ask another question.
Why do not apologies, now? To expensive? 
Now we can see who REALLY has being and still is a cynical.

Actually, it is a new addition to the subject of the various man$$$rems.
Peace to everyone,

Emil,

 The Soviet nuclear weapons program apparently led to some very high doses 
 from plutonium.  There were several papers on the Soviet program in last 
 summer's Health Physics meeting in Philadelphia.  Although I don't have any 
 exact references to give you, my impression is that these exposures produced 
 some very serious health consequences.  The exposures were much greater than 
 those in the American weapons programs.  Some information related to this 
was 
 published in the Health Physics journal but I don't have the exact dates.  I 
 think it was since last summer.
