The BBC has been fooled by a CIA set up
"I have just posted this on your forum, BBC Talking Point and I doubt whether it will be printed as it would be an embarrassment; Was the "Enriched uranium" found in Turkey real or was it a part of a ploy to lend credence to claims that Iraq is building an atomic bomb? Would 15 Kilograms of weapons grade uranium be put on show and be photographed by journalists when the radiation from it would not only be deadly but would fog photographic films and cause wonderful sparklies in a digital camera due to the radiation exiting the sensor and corrupting the memory, CMOS devices in all modern equipment are very susceptible to radiation! Why not ask an expert what would happen to anybody who was close to that much enriched uranium!" Fissionables are not highly radioactive (nuclear reactors would not be controllable if they were), and it is perfectly possible and safe to stand at a reasonable distance from highly enriched uranium. Spontaneous radioactivity is stronger in a lump of plutonium because of inevitable contamination by a radioactive isotope of that metal, but even that would be tolerable at a distance of a few meters. Of course, the whole show could still be a setup, but the fact that journalists were able to take pictures without getting radiation sickness proves nothing.
