Would some one at BRAWM care to spin this data for me? How many flights would i need to take to injest plutonium 239 and 240 at these levels?
What do you consider a lethal dose of plutonium- geniuses please enlighten us peasant fools?

"This is what someone from the industry has to say about Plutonium:
"Years ago, as a part of my career in engineering, I had the occasion of working on yet another weapons system for Uncle Sam — this project took me out to Lawrence Livermore to help out in the development of the next generation of nuclear weapons — smaller, lighter, more powerful. The building in which my team worked was totally dedicated to plutonium — it was more of a containment bunker than a lab. To get into the building to work, you had to undergo a two day training session that included things like wearing a respirator facial mask, emergency evacuation procedures, and most important — safety procedures to avoid any kind of exposure to the Pu. We were instructed that ANY amount of Pu inhaled, swallowed, or in any way introduced into the blood stream would kill you – ANY AMOUNT – there was NO minimum dosage that could be tolerated by the human body. Period. Any effort to down-play the danger of Pu in the discharge at Fukashima is purely a public relations effort to minimize public panic. Now you know."

that was a comment under a truth-out article.

Whether you generally prefer your steady stream of LIES from FOX, PBS, CNN or NBC; here is a recent press release from the Japan Food & Drug Administration.
