*****************************************************************************

In response to a couple of requests, I've added a section to the essay on
nuclear meltdowns and science center responses. It's a page exploring the
challenge of explaining radiation doses and dangers to the pubic. The latest
version is posted at www.FriedmanConsults.com/essays .  It is the first
essay in the left column.
