This show demonstrated the ignorance of the general public in regards to
radiation safety, and more importantly the POWER of that ignorance.  In
most cases it would seem to be a "fear of the unknown".  The media has
produced this deeply embedded fear of nuclear technology, as "EXPERTS" in
the field, I believe it is our responsibility to eradicate those fears
through education.

Just my unsolicited opinion,
