On dangerous ground. Nearly six thousand illnesses and injuries have been reported to date among rescue workers in the wake of the World Trade Center attacks. Studies now under way are investigating what the workers are being exposed to at the work site and may help avoid even more environmental health effects among both workers and residents.
These data suggest that residents living in the community surrounding the former WTC experienced a higher rate of adverse respiratory health effects 1 year after the event compared with a control population.
Gamma radiation can travel many meters in the air and many centimeters once in human tissue; therefore they represent a major external threat. Dense material is needed as a shield. Beta radiation can travel meters in air and can moderately penetrate human skin, but clothing and some protection can help.
Alpha radiation travels a very short distance through the air and can’t penetrate the skin, but can be harmful if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through open wounds.
Radiation in the first hour after an explosion is about 90 percent, with it going down to about 1 percent of the original level after two days. Radiation only drops to trace levels after 300 hours.
it is shown that "boosting," i.e., the technique of using a small amount of tritium to enhance the performance of a fission bomb, is also much easier than generally assumed. In particular, using this technique, building highly efficient and reliable atomic weapons using reactor-grade plutonium is straightforward.

A comparison of delayed radiobiological effects of depleted–uranium munitions versus fourth–generation nuclear weapons.
Have a good look at the references at the end, and try to read on in a few very interesting ones.
Fourth Generation Nuclear Weapons. The Physical Principles Of Thermonuclear Explosives, Inertial Confinement Fusion, And The Quest For Fourth Generation Nuclear Weapons.

Read the rest of my 1 year old posts if you are open for all possibilities, especially if you do not trust the "facts" given by the US government up till now.
On the Scholars forum Professor Jones stated that the only thing left after an efficient hydrogen fission would be helium.

I assume that you mean hydrogen fusion ?
I am hoping that they research and bring out more information. The google trailer on WMD at the WTC is a real juicy one.

Is this is the trailer you mean?
video.google.co.uk...
check out the 20 different key points they make on WMD usage at the WTC collapse. Very interesting indeed.

Actually I am not sure what the WMD was but I can see that the power generated is in the WMD range.

Seems to make perfect sense to use a small but powerful device in the basements to remove the heaviest steel in the center. The WTC1 transmission tower is dropping first as mentioned in official reports and well illustrated in the latest Hoboken disk.
This is strong evidence that something removed the central support first without any disturbance visible on the outside. Since 911EW shows a huge cloud of dust rising from the ground level before the tower fell this indicates that something happened underground.
Witnesses stated that they felt an earthquake like rumbling before each tower fell.
Since a new witness just came forward stating a Global Hawk hit the Pentagon and commercial jets couldn't penetrate the outer AND inner concrete reinforced walls I don't expect to see anymore nonsense about 757s.

Now I'm not up-to-date on all the theories surrounding this, but everyone is giving evidence to the planned demolition, and this vid talks about a nuke?
Now unless you have a radiation-proof nuke, no I don't think that's what brought those towers down . . . although those charred cars are highly suspicious.

Search Results for: keywords:"World Trade Center" -url:"abstract" -url:"-abs.html"
Document count: keywords:"World Trade Center" (16) -url:"abstract" (3338) -url:"-abs.html" (672)
These are those 8 articles published by EHP (Environmental Health Perspectives), in the USA, covering health effects on emergency personnel and common citizens around 9-11-2001 in New York :
1. NIEHS News. NIEHS Responds to World Trade Center Attacks. (Environmental Health Perspectives Volume 109, Number 11, November 2001)

So, in November 2001 they had already +/- 6.000 illnesses and injuries reported at Ground Zero....before October 12 !
Btw, interesting huge, cut collumns. Cut in what manner?
The next ones are those follow-up studies mentioned above, covered in the last 5 years, to be found online :
2. Characterization of the Dust/Smoke Aerosol that Settled East of the World Trade Center (WTC) in Lower Manhattan after the Collapse of the WTC 11 September 2001. (Environmental Health Perspectives Volume 110, Number 7, July 2002.)

And 3 other studies, see for yourself.
Now compare that to the first Barium and Strontium anomalies on this barchart from the USGS :
pubs.usgs.gov...
which indicate a damn high possibility of some sort of nuclear explosion having taken place on 9/11.
Ba and Sr are decay products of nuclear explosions and the main two first fission products of uranium.
So does that mean a fission trigger was used instead of laser or antimatter?
Wouldn't that produce measurable residual radiation in the steel?
How can we prove molecular dissociation was the result?
