horrible:

Acute effects

The median lethal dose (LD50) for acute radiation exposure is generally about 4.5 Sv.[36] The committed effective dose equivalent 210Po is 0.51 µSv/Bq if ingested, and 2.5 µSv/Bq if inhaled.[37] Since 210Po has an activity of 166 TBq per gram (4,500 Ci/g)[37] (1 gram produces 166×1012 decays per second), a fatal 4.5 Sv (J/kg) dose can be caused by ingesting 8.8 MBq (238 microcuries, µCi), about 50 nanograms (ng), or inhaling 1.8 MBq (48 µCi), about 10 ng. One gram of 210Po could thus in theory poison 20 million people of whom 10 million would die. The actual toxicity of 210Po is lower than these estimates, because radiation exposure that is spread out over several weeks (the biological half-life of polonium in humans is 30 to 50 days[38]) is somewhat less damaging than an instantaneous dose. It has been estimated that a median lethal dose of 210Po is 0.015 GBq (0.4 mCi), or 0.089 micrograms, still an extremely small amount.[39][40]

Long term (chronic) effects

In addition to the acute effects, radiation exposure (both internal and external) carries a long-term risk of death from cancer of 5–10% per Sv.[36] The general population is exposed to small amounts of polonium as a radon daughter in indoor air; the isotopes 214Po and 218Po are thought to cause the majority[41] of the estimated 15,000-22,000 lung cancer deaths in the US every year that have been attributed to indoor radon.[42] Tobacco smoking causes additional exposure to polonium.[43] en.wikipedia.org

@Edano frightening truly frightening and still they want to build more

@elainekirk iphones ? :)
by Edano 10/5/2011 11:55:59 PM

@Edano you can always make me laugh

@elainekirk i know you well :)

Suicide with cesium-137 www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
"Reported first case of suicide with radioactive substance in Bulgaria. Male, aged 30, defectoscopist, with cyclothymic structure of character and psychotraumatic family environment made a second and successful attempt at suicide, this time by means of outer irradiation with cesium-137 with an activity of 5.3 curie in the course of two hours--irradiated his heart region and the first three fingers of his right hand. A grave picture of acute, local irradiation injury lasting four months with lethal outcome. The authors treat the psychological motives in the behaviour of these suicides and the reasons which determine the small number of suicide carried out with radioactive substance."

@Edano how long now till your incarceration
by elainekirk 10/6/2011 12:00:09 AM

@me, wonder what the case report means by "outer irradiation," did he not ingest it?
by Ian 10/6/2011 12:01:38 AM

@elainekirk 10 or 12 hours :(
by Edano 10/6/2011 12:01:50 AM

@Ian that's a cruel suicide.
by Edano 10/6/2011 12:04:21 AM

i remember a film where a woman commited suicide bathing in her bath tub with plutonium powder.
by Edano 10/6/2011 12:05:08 AM

@Edano this is getting morbid
by elainekirk 10/6/2011 12:15:16 AM

@Edano is there anybody there?
by elainekirk 10/6/2011 12:25:33 AM

back for a bit
by lillymunster 10/6/2011 12:38:02 AM

greetings plenty of research being done
by elainekirk 10/6/2011 12:40:22 AM

@lillymunster , I have got the other historic Strahlentext digitized in pdf format: bit.ly . I am curious to know whether google can translate such document into Japanese.
by Peter 10/6/2011 12:46:23 AM

@Peter if they are done in an OCR format when you scan them. Some scanners ask if you want to scan as text or an image, text being OCR. that recognizes the text and allows you to cut and past or translate.

@elainekirk should i gather up links?
by lillymunster 10/6/2011 12:55:49 AM

@lillymunster sry would you like me to gather them ?
by elainekirk 10/6/2011 1:02:43 AM

@elainekirk @elainekirk either way let me know.
by lillymunster 10/6/2011 1:06:47 AM

I will get the together
by elainekirk 10/6/2011 1:07:17 AM

Uploading FOIA pdf files to the server. I finally gave up on my PC, it is having some sort of an issue uploading files. My laptop is ripping right through them.
by lillymunster 10/6/2011 1:28:35 AM

@lillymunster hope that works tried to take all non relevant out
by elainekirk 10/6/2011 1:30:03 AM

@elainekirk thanks, got it. will figure out how to categorize etc and post in the morning. The few I saw that Ian found earlier today were pretty interesting.
by lillymunster 10/6/2011 1:36:40 AM

@lillymunster have I missed some I will track back and send
by elainekirk 10/6/2011 1:41:51 AM

I have tracked back I cant find any more

@bo hi bo!

@bo Hi!
by smoss 10/6/2011 2:48:08 AM

Hi @smoss. Hey, @lillymunster, remember when I mentioned during one of my very brief surfacing about a Japanese email list that I was added to?
by bo 10/6/2011 2:49:00 AM

It turns out it is the email list of the Viagra Brigade. They saw my on RT and added me to their list.
by bo 10/6/2011 2:49:30 AM

@bo :-) So do they want your support or want you to join? :-)
by lillymunster 10/6/2011 2:53:53 AM

To join, and now I get a ton of emails in Japanese. Most just share news articles.
by bo 10/6/2011 2:54:46 AM

@all TEPCO has released about 300 copies of the images immediately after the earthquake, Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. And the state has taken up the hydrogen explosion and black smoke can be seen.

by smoss 10/6/2011 3:11:33 AM

@smoss did you see the smoke coming out the vent tower? So they did a photo dump? Will have to go digging
by lillymunster 10/6/2011 3:16:31 AM

@all Be Well! Keep up the great work...your researching skills are impecable! @lillymunster Saw the smoke, just don't know where they dumped the cache of pics?! Have to say "Bye" for now...
by smoss 10/6/2011 3:19:34 AM

@smoss nite Smoss. I will check with Elaine in the morning. THere are a couple of places they might have dumped them.
