AW: [ RadSafe ] LNT polling - initial results

[Franz Schönhofer]

Andy,

I filled in my reply. That there are so few people from outside the USA is
for me not surprising: How many non-US-persons are on RADSAFE? As soon as
somebody makes a comment which is not in line with official US politics,
they are flamed. This survey might probably be expanded to other lists like
the RADCHEM list. Even better would be to contact ICRP on that question.

Best regards,

Franz
