PAL have taken advantage of our lack of experts like Mr Chereyron to ‘forget’ putting safety measures. Govt should have sought the advice of scientists like him to advise before the commencement of the mining. We also need to train our own scientists on nuclear physics

Fake French Nuclear Scientist

Mogale you should simply tell us that uranium is a source of weapons of mass destruction and that the nuclear power plants are not safe considering what happened in Chenobyl in 1986 and more recently at Fukishima due to Tsunami. Don’t come to cheat us about radon gas. We know that radon gas is a source of short-lived polonium-218, lead-218 and bismuth214 which are collectively called radon daughters or progeny. These are a big concern in underground mines like those of Saskatchewan in Canada. If the monitoring is done and exposures happen to be less than an average of 20… Read more »

Charlie Hebdo and Jihad John Exposed, please do not misquote me. I have not refuted that radon is inert. However you may wish to note radioactive decay is not affected by external (external to the atomic nucleus) factors such as the state of matter (gas, liquid or solid) and the chemical compound in which the radioactive isotope is found. Thus the question of inertness of radon is inconsequential. The gas is still highly radioactive. Charlie, you seem not to understand the concept of HALF LIFE in radioactive decay. Let’s look at the 3.8 days for radon as an example. This… Read more »

lets stop the blame game now and start pondering solutions. together we stand, divided we fall. for if we stand together, we have the power to say YES or NO.

Radon gas is harmless but its daughters or progeny are. Uranium and thorium are less harmless by virtue of their long half lives that are in billions of years. The white man here is lying. Counts per seconds are used to determine contamination by radioactive material. The Geiger-Muller counter is used for this while sieverts determine exposure.

BRAVO KOSSAM AND THE GROUP, WE NEED PEOPLE WHO CAN STAND FOR THE TRUTH WHETHER MONEY OR NO MONEY. SOME ARE JUST SAYING ALOT OF THINGS BUT THEY ARE NOT IN KARONGA NETHER THEIR RELATIONS ARE. WE HAVE RELATIONS IN KARONGA AND WE SEE THAT AND THE PEOPLE WHO DINE WITH PALADIN ARE STAING IN LIONGWE AND ALTHOUGH SOME HAVE DIED BUT WE CAN SEE THERE WEALTH. MALAWIANS LETS LOVE OUR COUNTRY AND OUR PEOPLE

DPP has killed the people of KA and workers at PAL. DPP will rubbish these findings and accuse the French Researcher of fabrication. The poorest country in the world is now eating its own people for survival. PAL is giving a lot of money to DPP, and DPP would rather kill the people of KA to survive. This is cannibalism, a practice all animals resort to when placed in danger.
