Dear all,

U.S. Members of the list may be interested to hear from one of their fellow
"experts" who has recently showed up Downunder. Is the claimed career
background accurate? (And for that matter what about the "expertise"?) The
article below was in yesterdays Sydney Morning Herald (smh.com.au). 

The Australian Senate is holding an inquiry into the construction of a 20 MW
research (& isotope production) reactor at Lucas Heights on the outskirts of
Sydney. There is an existing but old 10 MW reactor already at that site.

Comment :

According to a colleague here, Daniel Hirsch is a scientist and former
director of US Santa Cruz's Program on Nuclear Policy. In addition, he is an
avid nuclear energy critic who is currently President of the Committee to
Bridge the Gap, a Los Angeles public interest group opposed to Ward Valley's
radioactive waste facility.

Hope this helps (surprised no-one else has responded to our colleague
"Downunder"...)
