[ RadSafe ] A judges' criticism of John W Gofman ? Arthur R Tamplin?

[Steve Schulin]

That Johnston opinion was cited in a later case (Sierra Club vs James D. Watkins ... et. al, 1991), as follows: "Dr. Gofman, one of plaintiff's principal experts, has been refuted not only by the Department [of Energy]'s expert, but also by another district court which felt that an exclamation point was required to punctuate its rejection of Dr. Gofman's testimony against a previous BEIR report: "His obsession blinds his objectivity!" Johnston v. United States, 597 F. Supp. 374, 412 (D.Kan. 1984).
