Re: Nuclear Power and Peanut Butter

I'm not sure why people are worried about things they shouldn't be 
worried about...and vice versa.....

But it's easy to see why people are confused about the effects of 
radioactivity....get 50 HP's in a room and ask each one about the 
effects of low level radiation doses.  You'd probably get at least 10 
different answers!....From experts!...

gee...I can't imagine why a lay person doesn't understand the risk 
(if any) from exposure to radiation released from a nuke plant, an 
xray tube, etc.....We can't even agree!
