Jim,
Interesting web site! I read it very carefully and would like to state
the following:
This is one of those sites, which contain doubtlessly correct
information as well as a lot of nonsense. To me it seems easy to
separate the correct one from the nonsense:
The article is obviously from October 1999. Does anybody know about the
publication which was according to this report scheduled for the
following year?
Any injection or inhalation of soluble plutonium compounds can not be
used for comparison of inhalation of particles. This seems even to be
backed by two official funders of the experiment, European Commission
and UK Health and Safety Executive - I do not assume that their citation
is wrong. So this part of the report is obviously correct. On the other
side, using this "research" to claim that the result was that "plutonium
is harmless" is scientifically nonsense. This "research" is an excellent
example for a wrongly planned experiment, obviously intended to achieve
a desired result. (I hope I am wrong.)
The last paragraph in the report about plutonium particles released from
nuclear reactors and reprocessing, they being environmentally mobile and
the passing of particles (!) through the lung walls directly to the
lymph nodes is absolute nonsense.
This leads me to the question: Are there really no experts on plutonium
metabolism which would comment on it? I know that there is enough data
available. A source for impact of plutonium particles via inhalation
might be the report on the International Mururoa Project, Terrestrial
Group published in 1997. (I know one expert who contributed much to the
plutonium chapter, but I do not want to volunteer him.)
Best regards,
Franz
