The environmental activist group Greenpeace wanted to be prepared to counter
President Bush's visit last week to Pennsylvania to promote his nuclear
energy policy.
"This volatile and dangerous source of energy" is no answer to the country's
energy needs, shouted a Greenpeace fact sheet, decrying the "threat" posed
by the reactors Bush visited in Limerick.

But after that assertion, the Greenpeace authors were apparently stumped
while searching for the ideal menacing metaphor.
"In the twenty years since the Chernobyl tragedy, the world's worst nuclear
accident, there have been nearly [FILL IN ALARMIST AND ARMAGEDDONIST FACTOID
HERE]," the sheet said.
The Greenpeace spokesman who issued the memo, Steve Smith, told the Web site
that a colleague was making a joke in a draft that was then mistakenly
released.
The final version did not mention Armageddon; instead it warned of plane
crashes and reactor meltdowns.

Too bizarre to make up!

Subject: [ RadSafe ] Need Radio Frequency Info


All,  We are installing 4 RF Sealing machines.  These are the units that
seal the plastic packagings that small electronics are sold in.

I have visited the OSHA web site and have collected much information.  I
will be prepareing a RF radiation protection plan and purchasing
instrumentation.

Do any members currently have machines of this type in use, or experience
with them or RF at 27.12 MHz?

I would like to call you directly for a few questions if at all possible.
Please respond directly to Nuke8301 at comcast.net.

Thanks!
