True, very true. Having had the pleasure to deal with the media as 
well as governmental officials as part of my former employment in the 
nuclear utility business, there are many misconceptions with respect 
to radiation and risk. However, I do believe that if we are upfront, 
candid and honest in our dealings with the public, a mutual respect 
will form, and a rational dialogue can begin. The public is only 
interested in their safety. All of us are also members of the 
general public, and are also interested in promoting safety. 
Therefore, we need to deal on the issues in a logical well-thought 
out plan to inform the public in all of our areas. That is the only 
way. A dedicated educational blitz that will take many years to see a 
trace of breakthrough. Start now, in the schools, and then brach out.
