Purpose of the List

[Patrick Muldoon <pmuldoon@mail.arc.nasa.gov>]

"Self-serving claptrap. The "Nuclear Information & Resource Service"

is not objective source of news. It is an entity of antinuclear activist

organizations, is promoted as an antinuclear information service, and is

privately funded by contributions by antinuclear supporters. As such, it

cannot be regarded as an objective and balanced source of information.

We ought to be offended that RADSAFE is becoming a political platform

of opportunity for antagonists rather than a technical information exchange

service for radiation safety professionals, especially when the antagonists

engage in blatant intellectual dishonesty like evidenced here.

Well said.  Why do we feel it's necessary to open this list up for debate 

on the pros and cons of nuclear energy, radiation, radioactivity, or 

nuclear weapons?  This is a list for professionals to share information 

with each other regarding our profession - not to defend our 

profession.  I'm sure someone else could create a list that had the purpose 

of debate between pro-nuclear/anti-nuclear experts.  This is not the place 

for it.  Passive harassment is still harassment.  If we really wanted to 

read the press slanted to the anti cause, we can find the articles on our own.
