 Some things are just not matters for belief.  If radiation exposure
 causes chromosomal damage, cancer, and death then reducing ones exposure 
 seems a logical course of action.  I haven't seen any scientific studies 
 showing radiation to be healthy.

 True.  There's no way to elimate risk - even protons decay.
 But not adding to the risk, such as chernobling, and reducing risk,
 such as wearing sun screen, are reasonable stratagies to take.

 Weak arguement - ignors ignorance, politics, and pure greed.
 Japan is an island nation which must import its energy at high cost.
 Nuclear power provides a secure source of power and resonable cost
 for user.  But if another source of energy povides the same security
 at a lower cost the japanese will drop their nuclear program.
 
 > If they aren't afraid of it, then why sould anyone else be?
 
 Same arguement at the local church, "I drink 'strictnine' water,
 handle rattle snakes, and speek in toungs...  Why not you too?"
 
 Why fear what you know can happen?
 Maybe you find the costs greater than the rewards.
