Dear Readers,
UNLESS YOU CALL SLOPPY MAINTENANCE "TERRORISM" WHICH IS WHAT APPEARS
AT THIS MOMENT TO BE THE PROBABLE CAUSE OF THIS ACCIDENT.
WARNING:
OUR NUCLEAR PLANTS ARE NEXT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THEY ARE DECREPIT.
MANY HAVE NEARLY HAD CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENTS ALREADY. ONE OF THEM WILL,
SOON. IT IS INEVITABLE UNLESS WE SHUT THEM DOWN NOW!

"COMMON SENSE TELLS US -- AS WELL AS NASA -- THAT THERE WAS RADIOACTIVE
MATERIAL ON BOARD" -- SHERIFF THOMAS KERSS, NACOGDOCHES, TX, LIVE ON CNN
THIS MORNING (he added that all the material they had found so far has not tested
radioactive or highly toxic).
By now, NASA's failure to deny unequivocally that the material might be radioactive
should be clue enough that "Houston has a problem"!
DO NOT TOUCH THIS DEBRIS!
DEMAND NASA STOP USING RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS IN SPACE -- "common sense"

Subject: WARNINGS AGAINST HANDLING SHUTTLE RADIOACTIVE DEBRIS
Dear Readers,
Despite a joint statement released by Karl Grossman and Movement Infiltrator
Bruce Gagnon, saying "Columbia did not appear to have a nuclear payload
on-board", Sheriff Tommy Maddox of the Nacogdoches, TX police force
has just warned residents live on CNN (~9:15 am, Feb 2nd, 2003) against picking
up debris, stating it might be "radioactive" or chemically dangerous.
I have it on tape.
Also, see the report shown below, from a reader in South Dakota.
DO NOT TOUCH THE SHUTTLE'S "SPACE DEBRIS"!
Sincerely,
Russell D. Hoffman

Please note that the half-life of Pu 239 is about 24,131 years, according to
NASA's 1995 Cassini Environmental Impact Statement. This was incorrectly
stated as 240,000 years in our previous email. We regret the error.
Also, please consider what might have happened if this debris had landed on
a nuclear power facility or transportation vehicle! Some of the debris
which has come down to Earth is over 10 feet long!

The "radioactive" word was just mentioned on TV here in S.D.
The sheriff of
Nacogdoches, Thomas Kerss said he urged people to stay as far away as
possible from debris, because of toxic and radioactive exposures. He
mentioned that his department will check all sights for radioactive
contamination.

Subject: A SWATH OF UNWILLING PARTICIPANTS IN NASA'S GLOBAL EXPERIMENTS
Dear Readers,
If there was any Plutonium on board, probably about 10% would have been Pu 239,
with its well-known [24,000] year half-life. Most of the rest would have
been Pu 238, which releases about 280 times more alpha particles per unit of
time as the same quantity of Pu 239, but for roughly 1/280th as long.
Plutonium 238 has a half-life of about 87.75 years, so any radioactive debris
would be able to cause cancer, leukemia, and birth defects, as well as depressing
the immune systems, and other problems, for roughly 2000 years (the danger period
is generally considered to be about twenty times the half-life of a radioactive
substance).
The soil will be contaminated, and anything that's burning on the ground will
be releasing contaminated particulates.
Keep your pets away too, they will track the debris into your homes.
The debris is also contaminated with hydrazine (several gallons of which was
spilled at San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station a couple of years ago) and
other extremely hazardous chemicals. Only the non-radioactive hazardous chemicals
are being discussed on the news channels -- no references to plutonium have
been made, but no one should rule it out until the State of Texas's own environmental
radiation unit, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, local government HazMat
teams, and a reasonable number of independent (skilled!) investigators have
also checked the debris and have set up air monitoring stations around the debris
fields.
NASA MUST answer this question -- were any RHUs or RTGs on board, and the followup
question, what if they had been?
Some of the RHUs containing the plutonium might have come off the Shuttle high
up, fast and early -- they would completely ablate (burn up) at high altitude.
These would cause scattered cancers around the globe. Others might still
be inside the debris. Nobody knows.
Sincerely,
Russell Hoffman
