Nuclear Radiation – friend or enemy? Its safety and its benefits at low levels justify its wider acceptance for improved public health and economic prosperity
The
health and economic prosperity of the human race depend on applications
of science in engineering and medicine, and these have involved the
outer (or electronic) part of atoms. Use of the inner (or nuclear) part
has raised public and political apprehension when used for energy
production but less so when used for human health e.g. following the
legacy of Marie Curie. The cause of this concern is historical and
cultural with no basis in science.http://www.gepr.org/en/contents/20130507-02/
