Searching on Google for "radiation fact and myth" I had several hits. 

The best source was

http://www.rw.doe.gov/progdocs/edresource/unit_2_toc/06.pdf

The video is free for educational purposes. Since I am giving 4 

lectures to the UW College for kids in the next few weeks about 

radioactivity, I ordered a copy. Maybe by next week I can tell you 

more about the video. It apparently is  a DOE production. It states 

that it is free from OCRWM National Information Ctr 1 800 225-6972, 

in case you want to order one.

	I am leaving on the two related e-mails to the list server.

Best wishes, John
