We learned about that but it had nothing to do with nuclear power. I understand what you are saying but if it leads to fear it should have lead to a banning of radioactivity in medical use, something not protested anywhere. Most smoke detectors have a radioactive source inside as well. I think if we thought of nuclear power as a life saving device in the clean environment it provides maybe we could turn the current opnion which links nuclear power to nuclear weapons.
