Re: Fwd: Debate Sunshine

[John, Jacobus]

Howard,

Health physicist are certainly knowledgeable about

ionizing radiation.  In fact, there are even some of

us who know about the risk of skin cancer form UV

radiation.  I am sure you have heard that it is a

serious medical problem, which should be addressed by

the medical community, including the Doctors for

Disaster Preparedness.  (By the way, how was the

weather in Phoenix?  Did you spend a lot of time in

the sun?)



Vitamin R is cute.  It sounds like something that

anti-nuclear people would use to attach public

attention.
