NUKE PRO: Exposing Truth
Anti-Nuclear Information and Resources, and Disaster Preparation Planning: http://nukeprofessional.blogspot.com/
A reader brought something to our attention, and its a good one.    You know those emergency exit lights that are in almost every building in the “civilized world”, well they are designed to stay lit even without electrical power, so you can excape the building even during a power failure, even through smoke.

This is a licensed form of radiation in our immediate environments.   Battery backups make a lot more sense to me.     Because radiation “glows in the dark”….well the old saying is, just because we can, does that mean we should.    
Check it out.   Do you think we ought phase out these devices in almost all buildings except for the most specialized situations?    Like say an emergency exit in a dangerous area that requires vapor proof light fixtures to avoid explosion and servicing of batteries would present an undue risk.

How about the Peterborough Tritium releases rivaling that of a full-fledged Candu NPP?

Quote: “On February 1, 2010, a tritium light factory (SSI) located at the Peterborough Airport released 147 trillion becquerels of tritium to the atmosphere in about 5 minutes. This did not become public knowledge until 2012.”

And this is a Maddow report that I first saw on a “Green Road” blog, about nuke accidents, coverups, etc.
