	--The discussion I was referring to was about health effects of
radiation, not about nuclear safety. If they need an expert on nuclear
safety, I would suggest NRC or one of the experts listed in the manual for
media distributed by ANS. UCS is a political organization with no real
claim to technical or scientific expertise such as would be exhibited by
publishing papers in regular professional journals, holding patents,
serving as consultants to government agencies, etc.
