Radsafers;
I would really and humbly thank all who have so graciously complimented
me on the article I wrote. Most have asked if they can copy/distribute
it, and I most emphatically say, "Please do!". You can find it at

As a group, we routinely get sucked into debates about the risk of
radiation and we usually lose to the anti-nuclear "good guy" who's
"protecting" the public. If we would focus on how easy it is to protect
oneself (using common sense in applying time, distance, shielding and
contamination control), we could look like the good guys for a change.
With today's perceived threat of radiological dispersion devices, we
have a great opportunity to be the good guys. People will become less
fearful, as they feel empowered with the knowledge of how to protect
themselves. You know and I know that we are the one's protecting the
public, not the anti-nukes. we need to tell this to folks.
