[Rockhounds] Uranium Mineralization of Fossil Wood.

[J Bryan Kramer]

I recall reading the environmental impact statement for one of the coal
fired plants I worked at. And as you say they predicted something like 1.2
'excess deaths' from the isotopes out the stack and not one from the coal
burning itself. Total BS of course since no one knows what a few extra mrem
will do to the average person. There are competing theories. The one that
claims there is no safe level of radiation is silly hogwash. There is no
toxin with no known safe level.
If yoiu worry about things like that try finding out what a chest X-Ray
dosage is or if you want to be really alarmed check out cat scans. That
info is rather hard to find and the guys giving you an X-Ray are apparently
trained to claim they don't know. At least I never found one who would
admit knowing the numbers.
