  14. Gofman has been an anti-nuke for a very long time.  I believe his
  15. epidemiological studies are not accepted by the health physics
  16. community.  I sometimes use his book _Poisoned Power_ as supplementary
  17. reading in a course along with Bernard Cohen's pro-nuclear _Before
  18. it is too Late_.

  22. He who refuses to do arithmetic is doomed to talk nonsense.
