I have not read Dr. Dixie Lee Ray, although I have heard of her. Was she a former Director of Los Alamos, and possibly a Governor of Washington State? I have no idea of what her position is. My opinions are based mostly on personal experience and reading books written by former Secretary of the Interior, Stewart Udall, and Dr. John Gofman, the later a nuclear physicist who worked on the Manhattan Project and was the co-discoverer of Uranium 233. One of the interesting chapter in Dr. Gofman's book, "Radiation and Human Health", contains a chapter entitled "Hanford Death Studies". You might find that one interesting.
I just checked the Columbia, South Carolina "Star" website and read the article where Federal Judge Cameron McGowan Currie dismissed Governor Jim Hodge's law suit. One can't help but wonder how much the judge knows about radiation/health issues.
Sometime back, when I was more involved in research, I read an article that said Savannah River was already one of the most nuclear unsafe areas in the United States and in some ways compared it to that reactor at Cherynoble, waiting to happen.
