> The irony here with respect to health physicists is that if the HPS agreed
with the activists about the hazards of ionizing radiation (and if the
activists were correct), the health physicists would be paid more and there
would be a greater number of health physicists. I don't see this sort of
counter-argument used very often, if ever.

Bob,
    A lot of HP's do agree and, IMHO, that is the main reason why the ICRP,
NCRP, etc, do what they do. Does anyone really believe that science is what
motivates their official position on LNT? Without LNT, there would be no
need for an ICRP, NCRP, or the hoard of bureaucrats who protect the public
from non-existent hazards.  Jerry C.
