Re: accuracy in language (was airport x-rays)

Mike,

While I was at Florida Power and Light Company (an they still do 
this) Corporate Communications distributed what we called "Nuclear 
Notebooks" to the media, the general public if requested, discussing 
nuclear power plants, pictoral designs of the various plant systems, 
discussed terminology, provided dose comparisons and addressed the 
Emergency Classifications with layman comparisons. While it didn't 
solve all of the terminology misuse observed in most press releases 
or news shows, it went a long way to educate those who had a 
significant impact on what the general public perceived nuclear power 
to be.
