When I first read this I thought 'Is she nuts?'. She obviously thought this out. Of course, we only have a little more than 100 years experience with radiation, and many of the early practioners, which included many very intelligent men and women, died from it.

This does not even consider the soldiers detailed to watch nuclear tests.

Still, she's made her choice and is doing her best to moderate the risks involved, including dealing with literally the fallout from her government's failed energy program.

If Bush wins a second term, maybe he can hire her as our next EPA director.
