Helen Caldicott

[Holloway3@aol.com]

Not long ago Helen Caldicott urged members of the public to boycott Hershey
products because they are made near Three Mile Island.  I wrote to her asking
for evidence of contamination in the vicinity of Three Mile Island and another
location that she mentioned.  I have some experience in monitoring
environmental samples in that particular area and believe that her views are
ridiculous in this regard.  So far, she has not responded to my request.  I
have posted the details on  the following web site:

I think it is useful for those of us in the field to refute at least the more
absurd statements of the anti-nuclear crowd.  Helen Caldicott is one of the
most extreme of that group.  I am still waiting for her answer, which I
believe will never be provided because such evidence does not exist.  I am
sending her a copy of this note.  The internet represents a very inexpensive
way to counter the views of people such as Helen Caldicott.  Let's use it, so
that anytime someone uses a search engine to search on certain key words, they
will get both sides of controversy and not just the viewpoint that Helen
Caldicott is out to save the world from the "devil" of radioactivity.
