oh boy...here we go. I Don't think it's really that dangerous. By what I can tell, accounts are grossly over exaggerated by well... environmental/ anti-war activists. I sat in on a meeting once, discussing just this, and it was almost to the level of nonsensical babble. No hard evidence to back it up, conspiracy theories were abounding. I don't want to "lump" OP in with these nuts, and that not what im saying, but ever since then I've been skeptical about all the "studies"

also, your news article is talking about lead, not Uranium. Its been a couple years...but last time i was in chemistry lead was not radioactive. Quite the opposite really as it absorbs more radiation than any substance.
