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Why would the NRC or ANS accept a report that is not peer-reviewed?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

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?"
