This New Year give others a second chance to live A pretty picture has been painted of the economic benefits to Haifa and to Israel as a whole if the U.S. Navy did indeed make this city a major base, but what of the dangers to the health and security of the population? Calming reassurance came from Dr. Ehud Ne'eman, of the Radiation Safety Division in the Ministry of the Environment. First of all, he noted that there is an exaggerated fear of radiation. We are all subject to radiation, he said, from cosmic rays, ground radon, medical treatments, pow- er stations, electro magnetic rays, home appliances, etc. This is part of our civilization. A method has been determined to measure how much the human body receives in normal daily life. The average American is subjected to about 360 millirems (or sieverts), and that is nothing to get excited about. The average Israeli re- ceives about 200 millirems. What happened at Chernobyl can not be regarded as indicating what could happen. HELP SAVE A LIFE IN ISRAEL° 'Through MDA .. . Israel's National Emergency Medical, Ambulance, Blood & Disaster Service.

Morris, IL 61054-0580 Fine Jewelers As for nuclear-powered U.S. Navy vessels, he said, the Amer- ican authorities have always pro- vided advance notice of the arrival of such ships, and a pre- arranged monitoring system at once goes into effect. The Israel Atomic Energy Commission, de- fense and health agencies, and the Radiation Safety Division of the Institute for Environmental Research, are all on the alert dur- ing the presence of the ships through their checking stations which measure radiation. The possibility of an accident has also been taken into consideration, with provision to tow the offend- ing vessel away from land in a matter of hours. What happened at Chernobyl can not be regarded as indicating what could happen with a nu- clear submarine, he maintained. American safety measures are far more strict. Of course accidents can and do happen, but that is true with regard to automobiles as well. Thousands of people are killed annually by motor vehicles, but does that mean we should ban cars from the roads? The discussion was left up in the air, but as Dr. Carl DeVries, of the Liberal Center declared, at least Israelis should be kept in- formed of the situation. Hereto- fore, it has been kept hush- hush.
