A leading British scientist has found that soil samples in Lebanon show elevated radiation and the concentration of uranium isotopes. According to the scientist, Dr. Chris Busby, there are two possible reasons for the contamination. Israel might have dropped a small experimental nuclear fission device or Israel used a bunker-busting conventional uranium bomb that employed enriched uranium...</I><BR/><BR/>A load of old tosh in my book. It's going to be nearly all U-238 in any case of any considered weapon in any category short of a nuclear explosion, and someone over there might just have noticed that had it happened. Depleted uranium (oxide) fallout (almost all 238) from Iraq is travelling (and has been since 1991) all across the region and far far beyond. It's been detected as far away as here in Britain. <BR/><BR/>And what is the point in putting ENRICHED uranium into a munition?<BR/><BR/>The whole point about using DU is that not only it is dead (pun intended) good at killing tanks, but also that it's cheap and plentiful as well, this is primarily because it's the major waste material from the various enrichment processes. You only want the enriched stuff for the other nuclear purposes, you don't get much of that and it costs you a fortune, so why shoot something with it with no advantage over shooting it with just the 'ordinary' and obtainable DU product?<BR/><BR/>(And you also honestly think Israel's own nuclear ('weapons' is that I hear you saying Mr Vanunu?) facilities are going to be 100% clean? Which way are the straw men-of-war blowing in the winds over there I wonder???)Andrew Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08086821277372396981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5194776.post-1162254469531930272006-10-31T11:27:00.000+11:002006-10-31T11:27:00.000+11:00i'm with soto... i don't WANT to be with soto, but...i'm with soto... i don't WANT to be with soto, but i am with soto...profmarcushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07148708132624420673noreply@blogger.com
