How many of the Advocate's readers have been to the U.S. Capitol Building or the Library of Congress? Did you know that there's a higher risk of radiation exposure there than living next to a nuclear plant?
According to the Environmental Protection Agency and the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation(UNSCEAR) there is a problem with gamma radiation in some Washington, DC public buildings.
According to a study by Steven J. Milloy, M.H.S.,J.D. and Dr. Michael Gough, PhD., "A qualified radiation surveyor used a Bicron MicroRem meter for the measuring. Dose rates inside the Capitol Building and outside the Thomas Jefferson Building were measured at 30 microrem per hour. This dose rate: is up to 550 percent greater than the typical dose rate 'at the fence line' around nuclear power plants..."
