[ RadSafe ] Hot particles on automobile air filters

[franz.schoenhofer at chello.at]

Chris,

You are getting more and more funny. You are the almighty "expert" on everything connected with radioactivity,but you have to send a simple NaI-spectrum to RADSAFE and ask for interpretation??? You never have heard about the radionuclides emitted after a nuclear accident, that of course Te-132 must be present? You want tzo measure Am-241 with a simple NaI-detector at 60 keV?

Be sure that I will not put this on any website, I do not want to be ridiculed. And you think that anybody is wasting his time to "peer review" something like this? What for - a new "journal" you will found for publishing it? 

You always surprise me with new proofs of you lack of knowledge and your arrogance of claiming expertise. 

I suggest that you take a few years classes on radioactivity matters and then return to RADSAFE. What you provide on RADSAFE (and anywhere else) is unbelievable. 

Best regards,

Franz
