Re: Our own worst enemy?

[Kerembaev@cs.com]

Don and Radsafers,

I was a witness and a participant when one "savior" persuaded authorities 
with the claim that he can decontaminate Chernobyl soil by using his own "bio 
polar energy"
It was strongly "suggested" to us, to provide an HP coverage.
Measurements had been done before and after....
1.
Would you consider those measurements as "necessary"?

2.
Some of our D&D clean up projects have those very similarities with the 
action what that individual tried to accomplish.

Respectfully,

Emil.

We have all necessary scientific evidence for today, to accomplish today's 
tasks.
We can not speculate about what we do not know, even if the temptation 
sometimes is overwhelming.

 anything that can be legitimately and honestly done at reasonable cost to

 or restore peace of mind is, in my opinion, a valid part of the profession of
 health physics.
