Lawrence Solomon: The fallout of the Nobel scam of 1946
Scientists radiation cover-up might have cost thousands of lives
Why do most people today, scientists included, believe that small doses of radiation are harmful to human health when no proof for this theory exists, and when mountains of evidence show the opposite that small amounts of radiation actually promote health? After years of sleuthing into historical records, a scientist at the University of Massachusetts has found a smoking gun, involving a scientific scam in 1946 at the very highest echelons the Nobel Prize ceremonies in Stockholm.

Here's the putz deceiver's Wiki page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermann_Joseph_Muller
“Muller was born in New York City, the son of Frances (Lyons) and Hermann Joseph Muller, Sr., an artisan who worked with metals. He excelled in the public schools. His mother’s family was Jewish, and had come from Britain, while his father’s was Catholic and German.[4] As an adolescent, he attended a Unitarian church and considered himself a pantheist; in high school he became an atheist. At 16 he entered Columbia College. From his first semester he was interested in biology; he became an early convert of the Mendelian-chromosome theory of heredity and the concept of genetic mutations and natural selection as the basis for evolution. He formed a Biology Club and also became a proponent of eugenics; the connections between biology and society would be his perennial concern. Muller earned a B.A. degree in 1910.[5]”

Hmmm ... maybe THAT’S the reason for taking the radium dialed watches off of the wrists of normal, everyday Americans ... we were bursting with brilliance in the ‘50’s
As predicted by Robert Heinlein...............

They stopped production because they ‘painters’ were ingesting the radium not because of safety of the wearers.
When “settled science” becomes unsettled.
Exposure to small amounts of radiation won’t hurt. The benefit is debatable.
What is not debatable is that at 3 Grey or so total body irradiation, you are going to die a slow drawn out death.
Take a good product off of the market because the monkeys were eating the paint
Wouldn't a $2 fan and a 10 cent paper mask have helped ?
I don’t know the science, but I’ve commented about the radium dials in watches years ago .... what percentage of what was happening back then ?
Texas Gator is correct.
The small amount on the spots on the dial can’t hurt, but chronic exposure to much more radium at the factory was harmful.
Or become Spiderman, one.
Look up something called Radithor.
As the story goes, the workers were licking the strips, to get them to stick to the watch hands...and a lot of them ended up with mouth cancer. It is supposed to be one of the first instances where it became understood that environmental factors could cause cancer - and it wasn’t just random or genetic.
But I think a machine could be found to apply the strips these days.
I’m an occasional radiation worker.
We are required to work in accordance with the no-threshold approach.
This results in higher electricity costs, with no benefit to safety.
That’s only if the spider is radioactive.
Let’s see. Bone marrow will melt, GI tract will dissolve or super powers will be conferred by exposure to radiation.
One would think that the sciences could remain as the only Nobel Prizes not awarded by a committee of clowns.
However, progressives will constantly bombard the walls of intellect knowing that sooner or later their idiocy will leak and start the corruption.
Politics, being the father of corruption, obviously exists in all aspects of the Nobel process, but it’s still disheartening to see that Muller managed to suppress information.
Look for a future Nobel committee to present an award in “climate change” and think of Muller.
The tritium on my Rolex from the 1980s no longer glows in the dark.
That 3 gray certain death would assume no medical treatment. Hospital low-tech of IV fluids and transfusions can quite easily manage the lethal effects and make a 300 Rad exposure (I despise SI units) quite survivable.
