Chris Busby Explains Why Uranium Is Bad For You (Part 2)

Chris Busby of the University of Liverpool explains precisely how uranium - including natural, enriched, and depleted uranium - causes health problems. I don't know how useful it is to someone without a science background, at least introductory molecular biology, but Busby explains it extremely well in a convincing and frightening presentation. This information has not thus far been acted on by any regulatory agencies. The presentation was made in February 2008 as part of the public interventions in the environmental assessment of AREVA's proposed Midwest uranium mine in northern Saskatchewan. Busby was asked to present by the Saskatoon-based Inter-Church Uranium Committee Education Cooperative.

Where can I read the report?

It's also astonishing, that a potential hazard for the population is seen as "can the radioactive particles travel long distances?" This is funny, because this dust doesn't have to travel fast or very far to end up in your body. Beside human beings there are lots of other life-forms on this planet and we are eating them. So no matter how far the dust could travel, our food travels around the world in a few days.
