John:

You are right in so far as the combination of letters "p-h-o-b-i-a" does not occur in this paper.

Yet, I maintain that nevertheless terms used by Durodié like 
-- "exaggerated perception of risk",
-- "politics of fear",
-- "demand for blame" pushed by some "resolute few"

do relate and pertain very well also to radiophobia as one of the

-- "illnesses of modernity".

BTW:
"Those who corrupt the public mind are just as evil as those who steal from the public purse."(Adlai Stevenson)

Unfortunately, any attempt to prosecute such behaviour as the criminal evil which it is would ultimately result in restrictions of freedom of opinion and of speech so that we have to live with this evil. 

Regards, Rainer

Rainer,
I scanned the article and did not see any reference to radiophobia or phobia of any kind indicated.  

I think you are reading too much into this article, which is what the anti-nuclear people also do.
