Instead of just a one time show like last night I would encourage an going
series of pronuclear information in order to reach a larger sector of the
public.  I thought the show was excellent except for some frequent broadcasting
interference.  I can understand why the anti's didn't want it to air.

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,
