NUCLEAR DANGERS EXAGGERATED

Anti-nuclear lunatic Helen Caldicott – she is not a radiation specialist – sees nuclear power plants as cancer factories:
Nuclear power will, without doubt, induce harm to global public health in a massive way and over generations.
Experts have reached a different conclusion:
The dangers of radiation to human health have been exaggerated significantly, according to scientists who have examined the legacy of the Chernobyl disaster 20 years ago.

Research into the aftermath of the meltdown at the Soviet nuclear reactor has suggested that low levels of radioactivity are not as harmful as believed — and may even be beneficial.
Radium suppositories have restored my sexual vigour and haven't hurt me a bit. There's another plus: a glowing wet spot is easy to avoid in the dark.

Good thing the dangers have been exaggerated significantly considering that the levels of radioactivity from coal fired power station emissions are larger than produced by a similar size complying nuclear power plant. And when coal is dug and crushed and transported large amounts of radon gas are released into the atmosphere.

Helen didn’t know that perhaps. That would be a surprise!

So that's where the term afterglow came from.
