Just for the curious who want to see a recent video clip of me on my local TV news, slamming the belated CDC final rhapsodomy report, that continues to refuse to use the isotope specific fallout doses that blasted Idaho. References have been posted before, in the CDC fine print, admitting I am correct, but don't let the science get in the way of a nuke til you puke party...Peter
The summary does not hit as hard as my actual wording...

CDC Releases its Final Report on Nuclear Fallout in Idaho Idaho The Center for Disease Control posted its final report on how much nuclear fallout Idaho received… and you may be surprised by the results.
The CDC is admitting its error.
Environmental activist Dr. Peter Rickards says, "We're seeing this very delayed report probably 15 years after they started it."
While the CDC agreed they could have done a more detailed nuclear fallout study in a timely manner, they're not saying a whole lot more, and that makes Rickards concerned for the future of Idaho's potential fallout victims.
"There were thousands of cancers caused by this radioactive fallout, but they were really trying to downplay further investigation into it,” he says.
The issue at hand is the long-term effect that radioactive fallout from testing in the 1950s and 1960s had on the health of Idaho's residents.
Nevada, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona are already recognized as downwinder states, and Rickards says he wants Idaho's fallout victims to receive the same compensation before it's too late.
