I wonder about whether all of the potential liabilities have
been properly disclosed from employers to the employees of the
nuclear industry.

Everyone who collaborates in the development of, or participates
in the execution of, regulations which allow the release of
any reproductive toxins with an indeterminant toxicity profile
needs to immediately determine whether such actions are in fact
compatible with the ethical code under which they are governed,
and be fully prepared to accept the consequences if they make a
mistake in their determination of the answer to this question.

This determination must be made personally, as far as I know.
If anyone has any legal advice on this question, I hope that
they will post it for the benefit of all.

Sincerely,
James Salsman
