Stop it, Maury, stop it, for heavens sake!!! Do not play around with such a

dangerous chemical, which ranks high up in the list of substances causing

death! This is not a substance, about which rumors go, that there might be

an LNT or maybe not - it is confirmed that every year thousands, if not tens

or hundreds of thousands of people die from it - literarilly drowning in it!

If it is released by meteorological conditions it destroys bridges,

highways, villages, even towns and whole provinces like in Bangladesh,

causing diseases, famine and homelessness. And this you want to sell and

make a profit of?



One more thing you should consider: If you irradiate it (hopefully only with

sunlight and not by those deadly food irradiation devices) and store it for

20 years in Yucca Mountain close to the nuclear waste you should be aware

that irradiation causes chemical reactions in hydrogen hydroxide, which

first of all produces "radicals" (isn't this a synonym for terrorists?) and

these radicals act further to produce a highly explosive mixture of hydrogen

and oxygen. This has been proved in many circumstances, the most spectacular

one being the case of TMI, where this chemical has been used by

irresponsible gamblers as a "cooling agent"! (Norman, did you get it? This

is the clear link to radiation, so I am entitled to post it to RADSAFE. Has

none of your favourites - this Lochbaum (I never heard of him before you

sent your postings), Rosalie Bertell, your Tooth Fairy Project favourites

and all the others ever found out about this dangerous chemical and unified

their forces to fight this clearly more disastrous exposure of mankind?



>In a more serious vein, but with a big smile and a warm handshake, I hope

you

I could not refrain from carrying this thread further, but here I stop and I

wish all RADSAFErs exactly the same as Maury did!



Best wishes to all,



Franz
