Re: Radiation doses from coal

["Michael C. Baker" <mcbaker@lanl.gov>]

There have been scientific articles published on this topic since
the late 70s to the best of my momory.  You can find an article on 
this topic from a couple of years ago at the following URL:

http://www.ornl.gov/ORNLReview/rev26-34/text/colmain.html

Another reference:

J. O. Corbett, "The Radiation Dose From Coal Burning: A Review of 
Pathways and Data," Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 4 (1): 5-19.

P.S.  On another topic, I noticed that the June 1998 issue of 
Popular Science has a rather supportive short article on food 
irradiation.  No new information but it is a nice source of info
written for the general public.
