[ RadSafe ] America's Radioactive Secret

[Hunton, Daniel]

UNRESTRICTED  /  ILLIMITÉE

Eric, would be very interested to see the rebuttal letter even informally. Noted a lot of issues with the article, but would enjoy a concise summary even if it isn't suitable for general release...

 For info, my understanding (I'm not an expert on NORM), this Rolling Stone article is full of errors and misrepresentations. The Health Physics Society prepared a rebuttal letter but I don't believe it'll be published - too much science.  The Health Physics Society has plenty of science-based information on NORM and TENORM on their Ask the Experts website.
