Just a quick post here, I need to go get some exercise and go ski-journing with my dogs before any plume gets here.
The latest data released from the Authorities, who are still pretending that the danger from Plutonium can be measured only by its disintegrations per minute (activity), is that the “one time plume” released was 330,000,000 Bq.
Using the “Super Calculator” which I have placed as a box link on this blog as shown below, results in
461 grams of Plutonium (assuming its all Plutonium)
Using the commonly accepted figure that as little as one microgram can kill a human, you simply multiply 461 by 1 Million to get the total number of potential kills.
Alrighty then, time to check and cleanup the HEPA filters.
Here is the Super Calculator location for your ease of use
And Here is the Bobby1 blog, who does a really excellent job of summarizing WIPP and Transuranics.
