RE: Tokaimura
This is exactly why Franz's emails go directly to my trash folder.
Tosh, please continue to post updated information the poor victims of this
tragic accident. This may be my only chance to study, in real time,
radiation illness. It's interesting to confirm what until now I have only
read in books. My heart goes out to them, their families and friends.
Hopefully we'll learn something from this (I know I have.)
Keep up the good work Tosh.
Don
