This is seriously the most evil man in American politics right now. There needs to be severe criminal liability for these kinds of actions in office. Someone should probably inform the IAEA about how dangerous this stuff is, because they've been pushing for its use for literally decades. We even have test road sections build in Florida and Texas in the 1980s to use as long term study candidates. The radiation level is within the range of variability of background exposure. https://www-pub.iaea.org/MTCD/publications/PDF/Pub1582_web.pdf Start reading at page 135. The two experimental roads constructed in Florida, USA (see Section 10.5.3.1), were subjected to a radiological assessment by monitoring the air, soil and groundwater before and after construction [230]. The monitoring addressed gamma radiation (see Fig. 51), outdoor radon and 226Ra in samples of water and soil. From the results of gamma exposure measurements, it was determined that the absorbed dose rates 1 m above the paved road surface were 0.0150.035 Gy/h higher than pre-construction values and did not change appreciably over time. These incremental dose rates are within the normal range of variability of background levels. The radon concentrations measured in the air and soil after construction were not significantly different from those measured before construction [232]. The same was found to be the case for the activity concentrations of 226Ra measured in the groundwater (over a one year period) and the soil around the experimental roads. It was concluded, therefore, that the construction of the roads had had no appreciable effect on radon and 226Ra levels in the surrounding environment. Gamma radiation monitoring was also carried out above an experimental road surface made from roller compacted concrete containing phosphogypsum (described in Section 10.5.3.1) [229]. The absorbed dose rate 1 m above the road FIG. 51. Monitoring of gamma radiation above an experimental road in Florida, USA (courtesy: Florida Industrial and Phosphate Research Institute). 154 surface was determined to be 0.009 Gy/h, about 50% lower than that recorded above a nearby asphalt road (0.020 Gy/h) and about 25% lower than that recorded above a nearby non-paved surface (0.012 Gy/h).

The monitoring addressed gamma radiation (see Fig. 51), outdoor radon and 226Ra in samples of water and soil. From the results of gamma exposure measurements, it was determined that the absorbed dose rates 1 m above the paved road surface were 0.0150.035 Gy/h higher than pre-construction values and did not change appreciably over time. These incremental dose rates are within the normal range of variability of background levels. The radon concentrations measured in the air and soil after construction were not significantly different from those measured before construction [232]. The same was found to be the case for the activity concentrations of 226Ra measured in the groundwater (over a one year period) and the soil around the experimental roads. It was concluded, therefore, that the construction of the roads had had no appreciable effect on radon and 226Ra levels in the surrounding environment.
