“Radiation is about a thousand times less hazardous than is suggested by current safety standards. For many this will come as a surprise… The case for a complete change in attitude towards radiation safety is unrelated to the effects of climate change. But the realisation that radiation and nuclear energy are much safer than is usually supposed is of extreme importance to the current discussion of alternatives to fossil fuels and their relative costs. I have no links with the nuclear industry I just want to see the truth out there. So many people have been under a misapprehension for so long.” Professor Wade Allison, Oxford University, United Kingdom in his book Radiation and Reason published in December 2009
