Richard Miller: Reports on nuclear fallout in Idaho are quite accurate
The NCI study that Dan Popkey discussed in his recent article (Statesman, Aug. 22) took nearly 15 years of work to complete and involved many complex statistical models. This information, in turn, was based on years of research by Atomic Energy Commission and Weather Bureau scientists who tracked fallout clouds across the country and recorded their passing in the form of tangible evidence: fallout. Nuclear fallout from atomic weapons tests involves upwards of 125 distinct radioisotopes — forms of elements that emit radiation. Isotopes similar to fallout were found in the debris from the infamous Chernobyl accident. | GO...- Radiation meeting slated for Boise
