[ RadSafe ] The coming cancer cost from Fukushma ionizing radiation according to Gundersen

[Perle, Sandy]

Otto,

Very accurate assessment. The only outcome from TMI can be summed up as a
lot of stress, poor government and utility communications and a
significant number of improvements as a result of lessons learned. Health
issues, other than stress related perhaps, non-existent. The amount of
radioactive material released from the reactor as well as the highest
estimated dose to both the workers as well as the general public, minimal
at best. Higher exposures are observed in many geographic areas around the
world on daily, yet there is never a factual observation of elevated
cancers or other health associated statistics. Linkage to radiation for
every day ills is simply a fabrication without merit. The only real
linkage is that we have somehting to discuss, address and hopefully
educate the public as to what the true risks are, radiation as well as the
real risks from other everyday sources the population is exposed to in
their every day lives.

Regards,

Sandy
