I will continue to push for doubling the strength of the U.S. Border Patrol and to make sure that every cargo container that enters this nation is screened for radiation and potential weapons of mass destruction.

In the Radiation Laboratory we count it a privilege to do everything we can to assist our medical colleagues in the application of these new tools to the problems of human suffering.

The technology used to detect if vehicles are carrying radioactive material is so sensitive it can tell if a person recently received radiation as part of a medical procedure.

Most medical physicists work in the physics of radiation oncology making sure that the desired dose is given to the cancer and the dose to normal tissues are minimized.

Nobody could tell us or really had a very good idea if there were a massive release of radiation what kind of medical treatment people were going to need and this or that or indeed whether there would be medical personnel around.

I am now almost certain that we need more radiation for better health.

I am a type-2 diabetic and they took me off medication simply because I ate right and exercised. Diabetes is not like a cancer where you go in for chemo and radiation. You can change a lot through a basic changing of habits.

The radiation left over from the Big Bang is the same as that in your microwave oven but very much less powerful. It would heat your pizza only to minus 271.3*C - not much good for defrosting the pizza let alone cooking it.
