ij Irradiation Safe? '~g'~ ~ Q5
II f,;
in the 50's and 60'sipeople didn't worry about ra ,~$;r!ex,~~s~ure.
People thought they ~ou1d protect themselves fxo {~~,q~~(fby Y,
ducking under a tablg or hiding for a short tine {nb shelter.
it was suggested that radioactive material be pl d,!', floor wax.
so that you can use ~ geiger counter to tell when, a W~x was low.
Today those ideas seem ludicrous. Today we;thf e!'can safely
place an irradiatiorti facility in Hilo and that i~~ dated food is I '
perfectly safe'. Perhaps in the Future we will f thj~t the once
nutritious fresh f~uit that was good for 'you ~ta~th is now
irradiated fruit that is damaging to your health f P{~~'haps in the
future radioactive ',material from an irraditio' 1a~'#~t will be
released into the ground water and poison Hilo. ~~y

I doesn't take much !,imagination to see the posei''1 ,~~bblems with
an irradiation lane. Some sa that we are ~ iof change.

Perhaps we should bs wheh the possible danger's a e s„'!~jreat.
