RE: Article: Beware 'Sound Science.' It's Doublespeak for Trouble
John, I could be wrong, but weren't these the same people that succeeded in
having Brookhaven's high flux reactor shut down ? (the one that used to do
some important BNCT work prior to the shutdown, as I recall....)
...and how about Shoreham on Long Island, NY ?
Here's an excerpt from an article a few years back :
ASBURY PARK PRESS May 4, 2000
Actor, model want research into radiation
By ELEANOR O 'SULLIVAN-Staff Writer
-DOVER TOWNSHIP --Hollywood and high fashion came to Ocean County College
last night for health and welfare reasons.
Actor Alec Baldwin and super model Christic Brinkley, neighbors in the
Hamptons, Long Island, spoke at a public forum yesterday in support of the
'Tooth Fairy Project," national program that collects and tests baby teeth
to determine the number of radioactive particles a mother ingested and
transferred to the baby's bones while pregnant.

Both celebrities expressed dismay at what they see as governmental
unwillingness tostudy cancer clusters and the effect of radiation on humans.
They live near the closed Shoreham and Brookhaven nuclear power plants in
New York.

One question I would pose is what influence do groups
like the Tooth Fairy Project really have? Beyond the
excitement generated on this list service, have they
ever closed down a nuclear power plant, or prevent a
license from being renewed?
