Pylon Signs

North East Pylon Pressure (NEPP, www.pylonpressure.ie) is an advocacy group North Air provided electrical power transmission through Meath, Cavan and Monaghan should be buried underground.

NEPP fans have signs erected at various places in County Meath and, either through the confusion about radiation, or a blatant scare tactic, deliberately have highlighted a symbol of nuclear radiation.

Electromagnetic radiation, nuclear radiation, the What's the difference, you might ask, its all the radiation and all sounds like bad news, right?

In fact, there is a difference between electromagnetic radiation (EMF) and radiation nuclear. In this particular case, rather than its scientific terminology involved. People living in areas near power lines provided, which can asked to decide on the issue of the electricity grid, are being given incorrect information by these signs. The students take a science course may be confused about the type of radiation involved.

Nuclear radiation (radioactivity) is produced in three types, alpha radiation, radiation beta and gamma. Alpha and, to some degree of beta radiation is relatively weak, while gamma radiation is something we normally do not want anywhere near you. The scientific evidence of harmful effects of nuclear radiation that comes from inside the atom, is overwhelming, and not in dispute. However, the proposed network Electrical not nuclear radiation sources of any kind.

The electricity system emits significant amounts of EMF radiation, but the evidence for harmful effects of EMF is not as indisputable that nuclear radiation. NEPP members who argue that evidence of medical problems caused by electromagnetic fields. You can read more about his arguments PylonPressure.ie.

Whatever the merits of the case NEPP, I more concerned here with the effect of these incorrect signals about nuclear radiation have on the whole debate on power lines.

The NEPP site website makes no mention of nuclear radiation. However, while the NEPP have been aware of these misleading signals at least last year, so far not been deleted or modified. These erroneous signals can only weaken their case because they may be used by EirGrid, the company building the power grid, to show that NEPP using incorrect data in his arguments against the power grid.
