One other very important economic weakness is Nordion the <br /> nuclear facility under contract with Isomedix to supply and remove <br /> the Cobalt 60. Nordion currently supplies 90& of all radioactive <br /> isotopes, and Nordion is currently under financial siege, according <br /> to our information. If you haven't already read what Kathy Dorn <br /> has given you concerning Nordion, please do so before your decision <br /> is made. <br /> This is not just a matter of choice for the consumer because <br /> much of the irradiated produce from Hawaii would end up in restaur- <br /> ants; and restaurants are not required to label irradiated foods. <br /> The Cobalt 60 is activated in a nuclear reactor and requires <br /> a protective shield for about 100 years after its use in irradiation. <br /> Its total life is about 120 years. An Isomedix executive (George <br /> Dietz) told me that over the phone. <br /> Regardless of all the industry'sassurances that the technology <br /> is safe, people do not believe it's harmless; and we don't want our <br /> <br /> money to be spent on creating an environment that causes us to <br /> live in fear. Please vote no on irradiation. Thank you. <br /> Alice Suncloud <br /> <br />
