Professor Wade Allison, Emeritus Professor of Physics at the University of Oxford where he has researched and taught for 40 years, has recently released a new publicly accessible book entitled “Nuclear is Life: A Cultural Revolution”. In his book, he urges governments to change their stances on radiation safety and illustrates how public opinions has created radiation safety policies that are overregulating the industry. Ever since the Cold War, the public has been terrified of radiation threats, and government legislation has responded to this by adopting an extremely precautious safety policy. Allison, however, shows that data collected from radiation leaks and disasters proves that the actual risk to the public is almost always overestimated. To fix the issue of overregulation, the public fear must be dealt with, so Allison calls for changes in radiation and nuclear education, hoping to teach children at an early age not to fear nuclear power.
