I'm personally entirely happy with discussions on this topic.
Some others definitely wont be.
Please be very aware that such conversations have  tendency to go
critical at the drop of a moderator rod.
Moving to OT may be necessary if it heads in certain directions.
Moving to offlist will be needed if it moves in others.

People ALWAYS misbehave. Any industry must factor in men behaving
badly. And the odd woman as well. If people are willing to falsify
welding inspection certificates for coolant control valves for nuclear
power plants just to keep their productivity figures up (and they
were) then there is not liable to be too many other stupid things they
won't do if it seems a good idea at the time.

> As far as dilution goes, ask the folks downwind of Chernoble about that.

Any responses to that would want to be in OT. There are widely ranging
opinions and many expert  and fact based stories from all perspective
on that. Much heat and not much enlightenment is liable to generated
in such a discussion.


> ... Be aware that some of the waste products are bio - acumulative like i=
odine and cesium for instance.

Strontium 90 is another such. Relatively short half life BUT performs
selective calcium replacement in bones - and you then have an up very
close and very personal internal radiation source. Iodine dosing of
likely targets is AFAIR the standard countermeasure.
