Re: OT Radiation

I try to tell myself that the radiation is so minimal I don't have to
worry.
But like many people, I fear the unknown and I know absolutely nothing
about radiation.

Oh, you said "radiation." Sorry, I guess I should have had my glasses on. So, you really want a bunch of bass players' opinions on radiation? Okey dokey. Two things: One, look at the graph that Derek posted the link to. Two, remember that there are people out there with a strongly-vested interest in scaring you about nuclear power. They're the same people that deny global warming. You can identify them easily, they pronounce it noo-q-ler. Statistical data and scientific theories are good when they can be used to scare people into opposing nuclear power, bad when they show that carbon dioxide damages the environment.
