Helen Caldicott is a key self-proclaimed leader of the anti-nuclear movement[1]. Never one to let facts get in the way of emotion[2], she has been relying on a medical degree[3] and misinformation[4] to spread radiophobia since the 1970s[5]. Whether it's claiming millions of deaths from the Chernobyl Disaster[6] or raving about a WHO-IAEA conspiracy[7], she will be there, trying to get her picture on TV while attempting to name-drop her way to credibility[8]. She could be seen as a living example of the Dunning-Kruger effect in action. She advocates for "lighting with candles instead of lightbulbs, in the effort of reducting energy consumption"[9].
