Dr. Lalonde, we heard testimony from Dr. Nicholas Priest, who confirmed his agreement with a paper he wrote in 2001, which stated:
Exposure to radiations emitted by uranium metal presents a negligible radiological hazard. Completely surrounding a worker with depleted uranium for 8 h a day for a year would not result in radiation doses that exceed the maximum annual occupational dose limit for radiation workers.
Do you agree that depleted uranium presents a negligible risk to human health even if humans come in contact with it?
