SUNDAY CONVERSATION: Radiation Oncologist Downplays Japanese Health Risk
Houston Chronicle
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metropolitan/7483614.html
.
.
With concern growing about the potential health risks from radiation being
released by the Fukushima nuclear reactors in Japan, University of Texas
M.D. Anderson Cancer Center radiation oncologist Dr. James Cox spoke with
Chronicle medical writer Todd Ackerman last week about the dangers
associated with the potent force.
.
Q: How does Fukushima compare to Chernobyl and Three Mile Island? What's
the potential?
A: It's probably as bad or worse than Three Mile Island. It's certainly
not as bad as Chernobyl, not by quite a bit, at least at this point. I
don't think it would ever become as bad as Chernobyl because of the
different way the reactors are made, the back-up safety systems, the
containment.
.
Q: What are the ways people are exposed to radiation?
A: Radioactive emissions, released into the air, can be inhaled, but they
also pose a danger when they fall to the ground around the reactor site.
At Chernobyl, emissions fell on the grass, which in turn was eaten by cows
that then produced milk containing radioactive iodine. Thousands of
children who drank the milk died of thyroid cancer. That's well understood
in Japan. That's why they evacuated a 12.5-mile area around the site.
Radioactive emissions can have an effect on the skin, but that can be
handled by taking a shower.
