Re: Interesting News Release
I completely agree with Scott. Ever notice how with any reported
incident at a power plant, or any other facility using RAM, the media
always manages to get in the
"No Release of Radioactive MAterials were reported by the ..." AS if
this were the most serious problem we face.
My opinions, expressed on RADSAFE, are always my own. Nobody else
would be fool enough to claim them.

IMHO, the "200-300 million micro-becquerels" is yet another way that the
media (apparently from other countries, as well as the U.S.) tries to
sensationalize matters of radiation. Imagine readers' lack of interest if
the article said "200-300 becquerels."
My opinion only.
