[RadiationScience at verizon.net]

I just signed this petition at whitehouse.gov.

How about more Radsafers. I know many of you feel LNT is wasteful, harmful
and poor science.

Subject: [ RadSafe ] LNT Petition

A list serve member suggested I reach out to health physics professionals to
let you all know that there is a petition on the White House (US) website
asking to stop the wasteful practice of using LNT as the basis for illogical
regulations. As a short-hand, I call it the "LNT Sucks" petition.

Now some of you will no doubt be offended by that term. But for those of you
who actively work in the nuclear energy industry and see nuclear energy as
the best energy option going, I think you already know that after 60+ years
of experience there is a growing body of empirical evidence that shows it is
time for LNT to go. Alternately it seems that if LNT is ok for nuclear
energy and other nuclear applications then it should be applied to other
industries, like the airline industry, for example.

I hope you will consider signing it. For those non-US citizens, go ahead and
sign it, too. If we get to 150 signatures the petition will be featured in
the open petition list. And that's when it will be visible and easily
searchable.

Thank you for your consideration.

Regards,
Andrea
