Jim, 

Did you notice the comment he posted on his page about getting reviews from several nuclear scientists .. OpEd is a pretty widely read publication that is reposted to hundreds of groups.  If this is full of zany science, it should be carefully and fully rebutted and not just passed along as a humorous "blast from the past".  Their objective is to pollute the minds of those who don't know any better, to get them to include this in a letter to the editor, to influence their vote.  It is not harmless activity.

Here is what the author says about this article

(2 comments) This was published in CounterPunch on June 27th, as well as in NucNews and elsewhere in the past few days. It was designed specifically as a quick-reference to cover the widest possible spectrum of nuclear issues, to bring neophytes up to date, and for people to send to their congresspersons. The article has been praised by top nuclear scientists for its accuracy (although pro-nukers, of course, say it's full of lies).

This "old friend"  is as nutty as Helen Caldicott and Rosalie Bertell (and 
a few other) rolled into one.  He has a new finding in health 
physics:  beta rays.  Betcha didn't know about them, did you?
