From Eileen O’Connor:
Just when we though we had got rid of him, he turns up like a bad penny. We’ve all just had a gut full of watching Repacholi on TV, BBC 2 Horizon programme. The programme was about Chernobyl.
** Chernobyl’s ‘nuclear nightmares’ **
“Claims that thousands will die as a result of the Chernobyl disaster are unfounded, scientists tell the Horizon programme.”

He [Repacholi] was saying that they need to re-evaluate the whole radiation spectrum as they now believe that radiation does not harm as much as they previously believed and it might also protect against cancer!!!!!!!
The programme presented a very one sided view.
Take a look at some of Repacholi’s friends who featured on the programme:

CURRENT MAJOR AREA OF WORK
I currently have a three-year grant to act as a communication specialist and chief scientist for the DOE Low-Dose Research program. This is a $20 Million dollar a year 10 year program which is directed toward providing a scientific base for radiation protection standards after very low exposures to ionizing radiation. As outlined above this grant provides me with $570,280 dollars over a three year period. This grant will provide most (70-80%) of my salary, travel money and a part time secretary. My role in this program is to:
* Provide scientific and technical support for the DOE Low-Dose Research Program.
*Facilitate the interactions between DOE, scientists, regulatory and scientific committees, and other government and regulatory agencies.
*Provide a focal point for generation of educational materials and for communication of research results between the scientists, decision-makers and the public.
All the best
