[ RadSafe ] Fire Insurance AND NukAlert AND Flu Vaccine

[John Jacobus]

Actually, the need for a NukeAlert is vanishingly
small.  How may radiogical releases have occurred
off-site in the last 20 years that would elicited a
response to your NukeAlert?  Conversely, how many
house fires have occurred in your city in the last
year?  How many heart attacks occur in your city each
year?
