Risk from BSE



Radsafers,
 
in Europe we  have a new frightening risk, which might be even worse than the risk of being exposed to a nSv/1million years - it is BSE. Nobody really can confirm that BSE can be transferred to human beings resulting in the Creutzfeld-Jacob-Syndrome - though I admit that there are some indications. Nobody knows about the probability and nobody puts it into perspective with other diseases which may be induced by other means. Finding a few cows with the BSE-disease ruins the whole beef-market, urges the German authorities to withdraw sausages from the market etc.
 
Is it really so much worse than nuclear power?
 
Franz
