Many organizations across the United States and the world, work together to enable a contribution of knowledge and expertise used to constantly improve the safe, clean, reliable operations of energy production facilities that utilize the distinct advantages of nuclear power technologies.
Regarding risk of nuclear radiation in the world, well, let us also keep in mind that we indeed simply live in a radioactive world. This unfortunately, is a defining moment for many people, as there are some people who don’t know the sun is a radiation source. It’s an extreme case or opinion perhaps, but to be honest in this discussion it does occur. Past that, a large sector of people do not know the typical radioactive material composition of many different types of soil on Earth, including the naturally occurring, primordial deposits, of thorium and uranium found in granite and other rock formations. It is very beneficial to study and learn more from our surrounding environment, and the large variations that occur in geological compositions on Earth.
The point is, across the United States and the world, there is a general lack of sensible understanding of many scientific and physical properties regarding nuclear technologies and materials. This lack of understanding manifests itself in many ways including to negatively sway public opinions of nuclear technologies, based on false premises and misinformation. Introducing the slogan of ThInK.
The world is radioactive you say? My friends, spouse, and myself are radioactive as well… what?? Well just how radioactive are these different things around our lives everyday? What sort of radiation dose amount do you receive in a typical year?
