AW: AW: [ RadSafe ] nuclear weapons impact thread

[Franz Schönhofer]

Gerry,

There is no need to have a problem. 

I suppose that you never have been to Hiroshima or Nagasaki. 

In Hiroshima there is a bustling centre of commerce, lots of flats and
shops directly under the hypocenter and its vicinity. The hypocenter at
Nagasaki has been kept free of commercial enterprise, but the adjacent
areas are like any Japanese quarters. 

Therefore it can be simply deduced that the effects of a nuclear weapon
are on a long term not what some groups claim - that the area would be
uninhabitable for tens of thousands of years. 

Since we do not think in tens of thousands of years any future threat
has to be minimized. Even tens of years for an area to be uninhabitable
is unacceptable. 

My comment was directed toward the DHS. Everybody dealing with DHS
should know about the reservations about this body from mass media and
professionals.
