Having taken Dr Gesell's Environmental Radioactivity Course, a couple of

things you might want to look closely at are the relative uptakes of

radionuclides by different food sources (such as potatoes vs rice) and the

relative radionuclide content of building materials (gypsum vs brick vs

concrete vs granite vs travertine limestone).



Environmental 'footprint' of nuclear power vs other generation methods -

especially the so-called 'green' methods - is another good angle to look at.

Hi Everyone



I was wondering if anyone here could reccomend any good books that cover the

effect radioactive materials have on the environment. I have to write a

research paper for my biology class (about human impact on the environment)

and chose to discuss radioactive materials being that Im highly fascinated

by them. I wish to portray radioactives in the best possible light - in

other words I dont want to use some anti-nuclear greenpeace propaganda or

something similar as a source. If someone could direct me something that is

of decent or better acedemic quality (more info less propaganda), I would be

very grateful.



Thanks!
