The closer the community move toward accepting the uses of nuclear energy,
the faster the anti-nuclear people move on to new demands. Since the sources
of risk are virtually infinite in number, subject only to the fertility of
the imagination, there is no limit on what anti-nuclear can be spent to
bring conflict within society. However it seems to me that to be against
nuclear medicine is not among such fertility of the imagination. Substantial
part of the public, for reasons rooted in culture, tradition, psychology an
attitude, continues to doubt assurances of nuclear safety and prefers to
believe that any source of radiation is inevitably harmful and that a
nuclear failure cannot be avoided. However, even to those most radical to
accept that any source of radiation is inevitably harmful no one among them
is against nuclear medicine and want to take away such practice.
