Synopsis

Radioactive materials, their properties, and effects are one of the most tabooised fields of science and technology, and beset by entrenched opinions. The mix of prejudice produces an almost complete suppression and absence of public discussion which would give knowledge and practical use of radioactive isotopes its place in the rankings that span from healing effects to deadly and destructive dimensions. Entrenched public opinion is surely not contributing to bringing the development of nuclear technology in front of an applauding audience. However, if often seems that being sheltered from inquisitive views suits the scientists. This poorly lit place is precisely the spot at which Invisible Touch is aiming.
