As an engineer workin...Not particularly concerned. As an engineer working with scientific instruments I am well aware of the sea of radiation we live in, mostly naturally occurring. Natural isotopes, cosmic rays and high energy EM. I can (and have) set up a CCD here on my desk and monitor cosmic rays, thousands pass through my body every hour, far more energetic than anything DU can produce.<br /><br />Am I happy about miltary DU use? No. Its use should be restricted, with better disclosure about past usage. I would not want to be close when a high velocity DU weapon hits something. Am I panicking about it? No. Do I worry about any DU lying about in Pohakuloa when I drive through? No. People hear the word radiation and they panic.<br /><br />I am worried about ocean acidification, plastic pollution, resource over-exploitation and many other issues that are far more destructive on our environment.Andrew Cooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404795276468632488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-69763417431098433262009-11-07T09:29:40.442-10:002009-11-07T09:29:40.442-10:00"My conclusion after reading such a depraved ..."My conclusion after reading such a depraved remark is to pity you as the retched pathetic being you are."<br />...<br /><br />The remark was irony - which was obviously lost on you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-11687937205176320372009-11-06T12:39:43.200-10:002009-11-06T12:39:43.200-10:00TO: Anonymous said...
