#2 Alaska! Give Kimmie a break : I found this piece of info, which also might give creedence to his paranoia. (NOT)

"Krypton-85 ( 85Kr) is a radioactive noble gas produced naturally mainly by the interaction of cosmic radiation with the most abundant isotope (84Kr, 56,9%)."

The cosmic rays from the sun are out even to give Kimmie a bum rap! Kr85 has a 1/2 life of about 10 years...

#3 Alaska Paul,
"I wonder if the NORKS have a safe way of processing and storing the nasty radioactive and toxic wastes from plutonium extraction. Heh."

Alaska! Give Kimmie a Flush.

#5 Traces of Krypton 85 gas, a byproduct of reprocessed nuclear fuel rods, were found in December,

Guess this isn't a job for Superman...

#6 BigEd, I fear that you do not understand what you posted. Cosmic radiation just produces background levels of Kr-85. The air sampling results would have been adjusted for that. Kimmie is NOT getting a bum rap.

#7 Tom - I sorry, but you don't understand what I posted, I was being sarcastic... I understand how cosmic rays affect other thinks as well like H3, C14 in CO2, etc, etc

Please see any of my postings about Kimmy. He is one of my favorite targets. He is such a good one...

#9 The cosmic rays ...are out even to give Kimmie a bum rap!

This is sarcasm

And I agree with Frank G, He's probably getting a bombing run

#10 When the Bombing run is going to happen is another matter. I would like to know, that way I can hand out "NK nuked themselves, honest!" T-shirts.

#11 My electrical engineer used to fly in sniffer aircraft off of northern USSR. They used to sample air and nuclear fallout from above ground tests. The fallout used to hang right at the tropopause. They would find enough radioactive daughters to pretty much know how the test went, what kind of weapon was tested, etc etc. Many of his unit died of cancer, but he is still going.
