As Dixie Lee Ray (former director of the Atomic Energy Commission, and early "siant" to the "green" movement) pointed out:
-Even the shoddiest reactors release far less radiation than the natural "background" radiation we're all exposed to;
-Numerous places on this planet have local, natural sources of 'extreme' radion exposure- which seem not to have a bad effect on natural life; and,
-Most any coal-fired plant releases far more radiation than any commercial reactor (coal contains minute amounts of radioactive elements).
Of course, these statements of hers quickly caused the enviros to remove her from their "favourite scientist" list. Amazing!
