Re: Here We Go Again.....

The implication from all of the news articles, and seemingly a large 
surprise, is that workers are exposed to radiation while working at a 
nuclear facility! The same holds true for incidents where workers are 
contaminated. The truth is, workers are exposed to radiation, and 
workers do become contaminated. It's part of the job, and the workers 
understand this when "they" agree to work in these facilities, and 
are well paid to do so. Too bad the media, and those who are opposed 
to the nuclear option, play to the public's fears regarding the 
utterance of anything remotely related to radiation and 
contamination.
