Soon, a man's failing heart may be replaced by an artificial heart, powered by a radioactive source within the body... a life saved by radiation. Today, in an experiment on trees, in America, the heart of a forest has been killed ...life destroyed by radiation.

If it is misused, what are the dangers to man, animals, and plant life?
How is the intensely radioactive waste from our power stations disposed of?
Do living creatures have any defence against radiation?
