I've worked Radioactive Pharmaceutical Chemistry for years, and the way America has been scared and blatantly miseducated (read LIED TO!) about radiation and radioactivity really frosts me. It's all part and parcel of the effort by EnviroMENTALists to prevent Nuclear Energy and Medicine development here.
My rant was only meant to educate here, my anger is at the dribble-cup reporters and "experts" that blather on as if they had a clue!
Please accept my apologies if I came across to you as offensive in any way...but realize my anger and disdain was genuine and honest, just not directed at you.
I'm way too old to be easily offended anymore. LOL
Since you are familiar with it, perhaps you could explain to me why we have NEST teams active.
I had to laugh at your description of "dribble-cup reporters".
It's a good thing for you to have some passion about what you do. That will make you very good at it.
One thing that sets me off is the state of education I see in this country now. As a retired school teacher, I am so often appalled to see the many examples of educational failure among both high school and college graduates.
We have hired several recent college graduates, all with good grades and resumes, for our business. We learn too late that most of them cannot write a simple declarative sentence. I spend many evenings proof reading and editing their correspondence, reports, projects, etc. It saddens me.
Again, thanks for taking the time to answer my question about NEST.
