React magazine

["DAVE GILMORE" <DGILMORE@navajo.astate.edu>]

Colleagues,
Frequently on this listserve we discuss the importance of educating 
the young about nuclear matters.  It's time to spring into action.  
Our newspaper (and I'm sure many others) has an insert on Thursdays 
for youth called REact.  This week they have an article related to 
earth day which includes a section on radioactive waste with a web 
site to check out.  I surfed it, and it looks like another anti-nuke 
propaganda site.  I was really annoyed and emailed React magazine and 
told them what I thought about feeding our children more junk instead 
of facts.  
I encourage any of you to check this out, and if possible, provide 
the magazine with web sites that would provide balanced information 
that would be understandable to youth.
The junk site they provided is probably familiar to many of you:

I'm just a microbiologist; I've done what I can.  You guys are more 
in the field.  Jump in.
HANDBELL PEOPLE have all gone campan-
