Draft</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>I didn't read more than this, for these statements (in
red) are devoid of any empirical basis. It is the type of scaremongering,
feeding hysteria and irrationality, that is all too present these days about
radiation and nuclear reactors. So far as I know the only people harmed in
Fukushima were those trying to rescue the reactors and stop the burnup. They
were few. What are the lies [first quote in red below] he is referring
to?
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Maybe we should dismantle the airlines, because there have been far more
fatalities in plane crashes than there have been from nuclear accidents and
radiation from reactors. Maybe, people should evalcuate San Francisco, for it
is on a fault line, and has had severe earthquakes in the past. Finally, we
should certainly abandon immediately all our coal power plants, for they are
far more noxious than nuclear plants. The point: risks are everywhere, and we
seem to be able to live with them. <BR>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>True, the owner of the plants have not been as forthcoming with
information as people wanted. Could that may be due to the confusion and the
uncertainty about what exactly was happening and what was to be done. Of
course, one doesn't want to allow that. </DIV>
