Interview
with Dr. Sternglass concerning Cassini
"Dr. Sternglass
then went on to discuss how NASA estimates the danger from radiation:
'They make the risk estimates at 10,000 to 50,000 mrad, instead
of at 5 mrad.' At those high doses, the effect flattens out
-- that's why they choose to try to extrapolate from that level
of radiation poisoning, rather than look at the actual effects
low-level radiation poisoning has been shown to have!"

16
Million Radiation Deaths and Counting
Although not by RPHP, we couldn't agree more with the article
by Dr. Rosalie Bertell entitled 16 Million Radiation Deaths
and Counting.
We have included a link to the article here because we believe
everyone should read it. The summary below is from the rat haus
site, which also hosts the article.
The issue of radioactive pollution--from nuclear testing
fallout, from the routine emissions of nuclear (commercial or
military) reactors, from the billions of tons of uranium tailings
left exposed at sites around the globe, from the massive amounts
of low level and high level radioactive waste generated every
year for decades from hundreds of commercial, military and research
reactors around the globe--far from being the passe story
the industry's PR hacks and media assets constantly present
it as, is the number-one problem our children, grandchildren,
great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, ad infinitum,
will have to deal with for at least the next 240,000 years.
The damage to the integrity of the gene pool is still being
assessed as well as increased. And all this has happened in
less than the past fifty years. The challenge is paramount.
Denial promises extinction of all our relations.
