RE: Evidence of internal contamination in Paducah, KY

["Carroll, R.G. (Sandy)" <carrollrg@pgdp.usec.com>]

John,
I'm curious as to what information in the newspaper article lead to the
conclusion that "it appears that he did receive a significant body burden"?

Would you expect some uranium above background levels to appear in the
skeleton of an individual that worked around uranium for years?

Original message -> The following appeared on the front page of the
Washingtion Post, August 22.  While the worker probably did not die from
radiation exposure, it appears that he did receive a significant body
burden.
