53 Consider Pennsylvania's Three Mile Island nuclear incident several decades ago. There is now substantial evidence
that the releases were underreported to the public by officials by at least an order of magnitude. The official Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (NRC) value is 10 MCi [ 57 ] . Thompson et al. quote more than double that at 22 MCi [ 58 ] ,
whereas Gundersen points out that the sum of the NRC releases yields 36 MCi and estimates anywhere between 100
and 1000 times the NRC value [ 59 ] . The botom line perhaps comes from a raft of epidemiological studies, which point
to a significant epidemic of cancer that is clearly related to the Three Mile Island release and that would not have oc-
curred if the official NRC values were accurate [ 60 - 66 ] .

59 F rizing is an open-source hardware initiative to support designers, artists, researchers and hobbyists to work cre-
atively with interactive electronics. Frizing has created (and is improving) a software tool, a community website and
services in the spirit of Processing and Arduino, fostering an ecosystem that allows users to document their proto-
types, share them with others, teach electronics in a classroom, and layout and manufacture professional printed cir-
cuit boards (PCBs). htp://frizing.org/ .

61 F reeduino is a collaborative open-source project to replicate and publish Arduino-compatible hardware files. The
Freeduino Eagle SCH, BRD and Gerber production files allow users to create boards that are 100% functionally, elec-
trically and physically compatible with Arduino hardware. While Arduino is a protected trademark, Freeduino comes
with a free and unrestricted license to use the Freeduino name, available for any use. This means you can do whatever
you want with their files. The idea here is to make available the Eagle files you would need to make your own Free-
duino variant board. So, for example, you could make a simpler board specifically for the open-source colorimeter for
the pH meter in this chapter. For more information, see htp://www.freeduino.org/about.html .

build low-cost open-source 3-D printers for metal in the short term.

hands on 3-D printed objects using a commercial printing service like Shapeways. Here is the link for the DremelFuge
