Just how much activity could one expect from Yellow Cake? Would it cause
radiation sickness in such a short time?
>>>>> Absolutely NOT ! .....and I noticed that bit of nonsense too.
The problem is there may have been tiny bits of much more nasty stuff (which may have caused ARS), but the yellowcake - being present in large quantity - gets the blame.
Reportedly, native American Indians of the US South West used yellow and red uranium oxides as ceremonial facial & body paint as late as the early 20th century.
