it's an interesting problem. I understand why these engineers and scientists went through the anti-nuke network to get this thing done, but then the media will frame this as an anti-nuke thing instead of legitimate concern for one specific thing.
I came up with an analogy to help me think about this. Say you are a medical researcher and found some serious adverse health effects to an abortion pill and as a medical professional you think it's unsafe to be on the market. Who do you go through to take action and how will this be portrayed in the media? You have a problem on your hands.
