RE: Nuclear Reactions program

[stephane_jeanfrancois@Merck.Com (Stephane Jeanfrancois)]

It was a good an informative piece of work BUT, again, there was not
enough emphasis on "Non-Reactor" uses of Nuclear energy. Idon't recall
seeing or earing about nuclear medicine, radio-oncology etc. (Except for
that comment about using molybdenum that use to be consider as a
waste...)

The public need to see that" nuclear" sounds good with "medicine" and
not only with "reactors"... We do use nuclear energy to find treatments
for AIDS, Asthma, Heart Diseases...

The comparison with France was interesting but maybe a little bit
biased...

I thought the program was well done for the most part.  John Moulder's
comments on the absence of fogged photographic/x-ray film in the
vicinity of TMI were particularly effective.
