This audio program examines the devastating what-if scenario, as well as the all-too-real history of public exposure to radiation - the silent, invisible and odorless killer - from x-ray exams, to Hiroshima, and to the recent accidents at Three Mile Island and Chernobyl. The current controversy that surrounds the woefully inadequate government evacuation plans for communities situated near nuclear reactors - such as Indian Point - would seem an eerie reflection of President Eisenhower's memo when asked what to tell the public about the dangers of nuclear weapons testing and the construction of power plants: "Keep them confused." Eight percent of the population of the United States, which includes all of New York City, all of Bergen County, NJ, all of Putnam County, NY, all of Rockland County, NY, all of Westchester County, NY and most of Fairfield County, CT, live within a fifty-mile radius of Indian Point.
