poor msi, what delusions makes you think this person is a scientist. U238 is a very nuclear stable metal. Which is to say it is not nuclear in terms of emitting any significant radiation. In this country, for decades, orders of magnitude of tons and tons of lead were released into the air. I have no doubt that some may have been hurt by the exposure. But the concentration occurred along roads and highway where there was never ending constant traffic. But even with such massive exposure I'm not seen any studies that correlate to much harm. Now lead is chemical poison to the body. I don't know that U238 is chemically poisonous. Also the density would mean that all the released U238 would quickly be washed out of the air and the sink into the ground out of contact with those of us humans that don't live with our heads buried in the sand. I wonder are we talking about a some danger trillions of times less than common radon gas.

So from the bunko science fud of Ms Caldicott, scientist she is not. Liar, charlaten, snake oil salesman maybe or just another typical vacant liberal minded lefty loon.
