RE: Scientists testing plants in fight against radioactivity

["Marthaller, Chris" <ChrisM@wipp.carlsbad.nm.us>]

What is a "radiation suit?"  It seems if the spokespersons giving out
the press releases are unable or unwilling to use correct terminology,
the myths and hysteria that abound concerning nuclear power generation
and associated radioactivity will never be stamped out, or even eased.
