This is a computer generated translation from the original French. It describes the natural radiation investigation in Ramsar, Iran by French nuclear engineer and Founder-President of Environmentalists for Nuclear – International, Bruno Comby, in 2006. December 2017 Hello Jacques, and dear friends of clean nuclear and respectful of the environment, For Jacques Foos (I am a little late because I was overwhelmed, but I have not forgotten you, a promise is a promise due) here are the pictures of Ramsar I took in 2006, with a few comments. Ramsar is a small town near the Caspian Sea, Northern Iran. The town is famous because this is where the International Convention of Ramsar was discussed in 1971 (adopted under the United Nations in 1975) on the protection zones: wet, marsh and water birds. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convention_de_Ramsar https://www.ramsar.org/about-the-ramsar-convention The idea of this agreement had emerged at the Conference International MAR program (for marshes, marismas) held in France in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer in 1962 Ramsar is, as we see, a hotbed of international ecology and environmental protection, even before it is question of its radioactivity! But it is famous (or should be) also because there is the strongest natural radioactivity levels which have never been measured. That's why I went there in 2006 to make radioactivity measurements myself. The result is the photo essay that follows. First, this is the man I know most exposed to radioactivity of the whole history of mankind (total dose the same order of magnitude as the dead by irradiation of Chernobyl, but, unlike Chernobyl, the dose is spread over time, it is not so dangerous): he lives in the most radioactive house in the world (I have measured up to 150 microSv / h), he worked in the most radioactive school world (he built and directed all his life, since was the director of Ramsar primary school before taking 1
