I have also worked with various isotopes, hence my cautious and considered approach.

Merkle has also posted on this topic before; sadly my searches cannot find his or my previous comments.

They did however throw up some other interesting threads like this one http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=66015&highlight=Radiation

I hope he wears his film badge or dosimeter whilst working on his cockpit projects!

Joey, its up to you mate, like i said, Radium, is Dangerous, when ingested,

the simple word Radiation sends people into a blind panic, because they cant see it, smell it or taste it,:rolleyes:

Ive been working and trained with radiation , and I am qaulified for my job, to a high level, and its been my proffesion most of my working life,
so i do know what i am talking about,

but i suppose the safest way to insure you recieve no contamination is to not have them at all, (instruments) but i really cant see what all the fuss is about..:)

😮 Despite your ‘qualifications’ I don’t think that you understand the real picture; a partial re-post from one of the other threads might help …..

“10 years ago, at the time of the change from IRR85 to IRR99 the following http://www.hse.gov.uk/radiation/rpnews/rpa18.htm details a prosecution of the Science Museum; whilst this link http://www.hse.gov.uk/radiation/rpnews/rpa19.htm details a prosecution of the Natural History Museum”

Also what do you think is being talked about in posts #354 to #357 here http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=90313&page=12

The issue is a ‘live one’ that could affect us all!

As per the various threads on this topic it is a genuine issue of concern, with legislation in place and it will NOT go away due to comments like this; perhaps a search of the forum might help, here’s a couple of threads to get you started.

I thought it was a bit quiet on here!! 😀

Hope the delivery goes OK!!

….. All the books and magazine features that obsess over what brilliant weapons TSR2 might have carried, what fancy colour schemes it might have worn, or where it might have operated, etc., are all very nice, but they fail to address the key points of the project’s history. I didn’t want to devote space to more of this “what if” stuff, and I’ve opted for a more straightforward account of what did happen, not what might have happened. Okay, I know I’ll get plenty of criticism, especially from those who still want to convince themselves of dark conspiracies, but that’s okay, I have broad shoulders!

So would it be right to assume that none of this http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=94873&highlight=TSR2 will be in your book?

Also out of interest, how much material was forthcoming from the various Company Archives?
