:AGREE - Conduct science not witch hunt on personal issue. Facts only. No  
place for Greek ad hominem argumentum. Safety must always be in nuclear  
first!

:DISAGREE - Not controversial. Busby science positions are becoming  more 
accepted mainstream than past positions on protections. Conservatism in  
protections is a good thing, is it not?
 
 
Wikipedia also notes that Busby is "known for his 
controversial  theories about the negative health effects of very 
low-dose ionising  radiation."  [link  omitted]

For all we  know, Busby may be the best chemist in the 
UK.  He is not a health  physicist.

Not controversial. Physical chemistry is so closely related and needed for  
physics understanding. Dr. Busby has it seems.
 
Your credential please Mr. Steven Dapra, are you health physicist,  chemist?
