Fukushima: Fallout Of Fear

Good job, Dale Preston!  I never met the man, but his statement reflect our best understanding of the health effects of low doses of radiation:

 “I think it’s likely that there will be increased cancer risks, but they will be very, very small,” says Dale Preston, an independent statistician who has studied atomic-bomb survivors. “If you did a large study, I think your chance of observing a statistically significant radiation-associated risk would be pretty low.”

Whether you are pro- or anti- nuclear power...what Dale said reflects the science.
