Jose,
The issue of psychological impact of such an event definitely needs to be
addressed. Being both an author and a degreed radiation protection
professional, perhaps I should write an informational book which would
explain in layman's terms the reality of radiation and it's associated
effects according to the true data at hand . . .

Spend your time writing a layman's booklet as to why a nuke plant
would not suffer reactor threatening damage from 'outside' attack
( Planes, Choppers, Bazookas...)

Although you may convince the layman that low levels of exposure are
basically harmless, they need to 'feel' that a plant under attack
WILL NOT be a source of High Level Exposure.
