Fixing Radiation Hysteria


Good afternoon. I’m Steve Milloy. I going to briefly discuss why we can’t build more nuclear power, store spent nuclear fuel, clean up nuclear waste sites and why everyone is so freaked out about harmless exposures to radiation.

Here’s my background. In summary, I have worked for more than 33 years to fix the abuses of science by government, activists and others. I’ve been a consultant to industry and government. I was a coal industry executive. I founded and managed a publicly traded mutual fund. I served on the Trump EPA transition team in 2016. I wrote the plans for stopping EPA misuse and abuse of science. There is no one on the planet that knows as much about EPA’s abuse of science as I do.

The basic outline is this: 1) There’s been almost 100 years of not just bad science, but fraudulent science that has gone into radiation protection standards; 2) If we had honest science we would have real-world-based standards for radiation safety. That would allow for more things nuclear; 3) The reason we don’t have honest science is not because we don’t what honest radiation risk science is; it’s because the people who control radiation protection standards are old-school anti-nuclear leftists; 4) Finally, until Congress steps in, the anti-nuclear madness will continue. Here are a few examples of the anti-nuclear madness, I’m talking about.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
