LONDON - Officials found traces of radiation on two British Airways jets, and the airline appealed Wednesday to tens of thousands of passengers who flew to Moscow or other cities to come forward....
Actress Kate Hudson refused to speculate on the implications this may have for the airline industry. "Really, those levels of radiation don't pose a risk over short periods of time," Ms. Hudson may well have said, "and traces of polonium-210 wouldn't worry me, though it is a very powerful alpha emitter and the maximum allowable body burden for ingested polonium is something like 1,100 becquerels."
