RE: Co-60 contamination incident



Ted,

Why would the NRC or ANS accept a report that is not peer-reviewed?  Is this

information scientific or an opinion?  At least a peer-reviewed, published

article provides an opportunity for review and comments to be other

researchers who may have a DIFFERENT analysis of the data.  That is the

purpose of publishing in the scientific literature rather than the "National

Enquirer?"  (To our foreign readers, I am sure you have similar "rags" in

your countries.)  



Who is Luan?

John:



Doesn't it bother you, just a little, that eight years later we still don't

have a substantive report that NRC and ANS will accept?  When Luan tried to

give an oral report at an ANS meeting, the ANS President cut him off by

asking "Has this been published in a peer-reviewed journal?"
