[ RadSafe ] RadSafe - an international list?

[Franz Schönhofer]

Jeff and RADSAFErs,

As far as I remember RADSAFE is an international list. I am "impressed" by
the many pCi of Rn-222 cited in very recent contributions (which by the way
are not really scientifically impressive!), but almost everywhere on this
earth one uses the nowadays correct units like Bq or Sv or Gy, meter etc.
The big and influencial journals - also the US based ones like "Health
Physics" - have since decades banned the old Ci and rem units, not to talk
about feet, inches, miles etc. SI units are the only ones to be used in
scientific journals. 

I would advocate, that at RADSAFE SI units should be used as well, not only
because of its internationality, but also because RADSAFE is a SCIENTIFIC
list. 
 
We did not have this discussion for quite a few years on RADSAFE, but it
should not be forgotten.

Best regards,

Franz
