James Hansen Disappoints

I mentioned this study he did, but I never read it because the conclusions are obviously true.

I did actually read it, and it uses a risk of death per unit of power generation to reach its conclusions.

In the case of the nuclear risk factor (the only one I explored), the factor is based on a particular reactor type, particular enrichment processes, etc. and particular populations surrounding particular facilities.

It isn't appropriate to generalize that nuclear risk factor.

He also thinks that LNT may have a threshold, which is an oxymoron.

Squabbles About Homeopathy

Rad Cancer Therapy

This radical, radiation based technique uses boron capture of neutrons.

However, neutron radiation itself is more carcinogenic than gamma radiation, so it will have the side effect of risk of cancer later in life for the healthy tissue which is exposed to the neutron flux.
