Welcome to the Spring 2010 Unstable Nucleus Class!

It's that time again, to restart regular class blog updates.  The first assignment deals with radiation topics in the news.  Some of the readings are re-used from last semester, and some are new.  The articles I would like you to read are:

1) BBC news article on France's plans to compensate soldiers exposed to nuclear weapons tests
2) New York Times article on radiation from granite countertops
3) Washington Post article on new scanning technology in airports
4) Web MD article on radiation exposure due to medical testing
5) Science Daily article on the National Institutes of Health beginning to monitor radiation exposure from medical tests.
6) Chicago Tribune article on radium issues in neighboring Joliet
