The false premise of radiation hazards from nuclear power, 'dirty bombs,

etc. is becoming ever more clear. :-) Let's remember that NO ONE in the

public was injured or killed by CHERNOBYL, with NO evacuation, compared to

the hysterical consequences claimed by the regulators and politicians!

To this generally sympathetic semi-naive observer, the thyroid cancer echo

of Chernobyl seems pretty well established.  My understanding is that there

have been a few deaths.  Further, thyroid cancer itself seems pretty clearly

to qualify as an injury.



Best regards.
