I asked my brother Ted, who though a layperson like myself is more knowledgeable about these things than I am, to look over my post on radiation (below) and he added this important information:
1: There is a heavy difference to be noticed between the risk of radiation
effects on adults, and that on children and especially babies,who actually
absorb a far larger proportion of their food and air into their growing
bodies. (Jessica: and may I add therefore absorb radioactive calcium counterfeits-- Strontium 90, radioactive iodine--into their growing bones and thyroid glands, often leading to cancer.)
2: Even experts are often not careful with the significance of their
statistics. If they say "one chance in a million" of harm, that may well mean
harm to 7,000 people worldwide; if they mean per year, that is 7,000 persons per
year.
