Presented in a captivating manner. So much so, that the reader doesn’t even question why Lugovoi and Kovtun haven’t yet died of radiation sickness?
After all, didn’t they spend several days eating, drinking, sleeping, and traveling while embracing radioactive material? Carried it in a lead casing to avoid irradiation? But why then did polonium wreak havoc everywhere possible, yet didn’t affect the carriers? They write about extreme radiation and multiple contacts of Russians with polonium.
What interests me here is only the physical-biological aspect of the matter, not the politics. Are there any sensible explanations? Quote: “…a bath towel emitted 6000 pulses per second, or 130 thousand becquerels per square centimeter. Initially, the hand towel showed 10 thousand pulses per second, but a repeated test displayed an incredible 17 million becquerels per square centimeter.
To make it easier to understand: a radiation dose ranging from 10 to 30 million becquerels, when entering an adult male’s bloodstream, would lead to death within a month.”
