On Monday, October 4, 2010, the ANS Nuclear Cafe published a DC Perspective column discussing the complex topic of loan guarantees for new nuclear power plants.

Rod, have you seen this really terrific graphic to give some perspective to relative radiation dosing from fukushima and other sources? I thought it was great, but have not yet had a chance to follow through to the sources links. http://xkcd.com/radiation/
