Nancy, You can get all the information you want, but it's a good idea to first take a college course on the basic principles of health physics. Otherwise it can be very hard to understand. Any university library should have all the information you need to reach an educated opinion. You said, "Maybe we should ask some survivors of Hiroshima and Three Mile Island their opinion of Nuclear power." Well, all I can say is that Japan gets almost all its electricity from nuclear power, and that the survival rate after the radiation exposures from the TMI accident was 100%. You had a lot of other comments that would require very lengthy responses. I don't think that this is a proper forum to debate the pros and cons of nuclear technology. And I don't want to adopt a condescending tone in responding to your concerns. But I have to say the following. Much of the information presented to the public by the mass media and anti-nuclear environmental groups regarding the harmful effects of low-level radiation and food irradiation is either patently false or misleading. I'm sorry, but I just can't say much more here. If you want to start a forum on the topic I'd be glad to pop in and offer comments. My only hope is that the discussion be open to a wide variety of views, pro and con, and in between. David
