"What's Wrong With Being Cautious?" by Theodore Rockwell, June 1997, Nuclear News.
"The cost of trying to reduce harmless radiation exposures even more is exorbitant, and 'predicting' casualties from such exposures generates groundless fear and distorts public policy. It is time to bring radiation protection policy into line with the data.The repeated insistence that no amount of radiation is small enough to be harmless has created in the public a clinically phobic fear of even tiny amounts of radiation. Thousands of people die each year as a direct result of government policies requiring that insignificant amounts of radioactivity be avoided.
"We must ask: Where are the victims? How long will we allow real people, with names and families, to die from the non-use of radiation where it is needed, in order to protect hypothetical people form casualties that never happen?"

Who Will Speak for Truth? The Case of Nuclear Radiation [rtf file, 55k] Dr. Theodore Rockwell, at Penn State University, September 2000.
"When I worked for Admiral Rickover during the Cold War years, we had one thing going for us that is hard to find today. Although many people opposed us, including some in high places, still there were a few serious and important people to whom we could go for guidance, insight and help, confident that their personal and institutional loyalties and biases would not prevent them from speaking openly and honestly about problems we both wanted resolved. Today, in the area I will discuss this evening, most people whose apparent objectives are the same as mine, often work to ignore or obscure or distort scientific facts that seem to endanger their more pressing goals. So, statements that seem to me simple truths, or facts of nature, cannot be acknowledged as such by those whose reputations and incomes are dependent on fear and mystery being associated with those facts."
