[ RadSafe ] Radiation exposure and the power of zero By Jeffrey Patterson | 26 April 2011

[Bill Prestwich]

The statement that science has shown there is no safe level of radiation is
not defensible, if for no other reason than there is no scientific
definition of safe.

I am wondering what the opinion among the physicists is regarding the
conclusion of this article. It is different from that which I was taught.
Especially the last paragraph:

I realize he is just a physician but is the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists
even credible???
