Organized or not,  this movement is exactly what I was saying: We have
to make sure that we dose (that word again !) the amount of pro and con
in any documentary ( not an easy task !) There were too many articulate
PROS and not enough articulate CONS. But this reaction (we should make a
documentary out of it: the POST NUCLEAR REACTION) should happen from us
, in the nuclear industry whenever we have the opposite type of
documentary (and I think we are doing the just the same...)

PBS is getting flooded with criticism of the program.

This is clearly an organized effort to make sure that such programs do
not
appear in the future.

The major stated criticism appears to be that the program failed to
provide an
opposing view on the science.  That is, they should have interviewed
Sternglass, Goffman, Wing, etc. who would have told the public about the
extreme dangers of exposure to low doses of radiation.

So, if you found the program accurate and useful, you have got to tell
PBS
(frontline@pbs.org) and your local station!

BTW:  In most markets, the program will be reshown sometime between
Friday and
Tues, but it is at the local stations option.
