Biological concentration is even more disturbing. Grazing animals skim the fallout from large areas of grass, and it concentrates in their flesh and milk. Sea animals do the equivalent. Biologists fear that many such concentrating mechanisms may exist unsuspected. This is one reason why the U.S. Public Health Service is starting...
Both the U.S. and Britain are apparently keeping their large test bombs as clean as possible, presumably by increasing the proportion of energy that comes from nuclear fusion (hydrogen) reactions. This does not mean, however, that clean bombs will take the global threat out of nuclear...
