RE: Nucl Week on French Acad of Med statement on LNT & "Disinformation"
Do anyone besides me think it is silly to reject a 20 mSv limit/y for a 100
mSv/5 y limit?
It will be interesting to see if the French political system is like ours.
Any bets on whether or not the new limits are approved?

HEADLINE: FRENCH ACADEMY DENOUNCES NEW LIMITS, RADIATION MISINFORMATION
BYLINE: By Ann MacLachlan, Paris
BODY:
France's Academy of Medicine has renewed its opposition to a
20-milliSievert (2 rem) annual dose limit for professional exposures,
saying such a regulation would ''bring no health benefit while hampering
operation of medical radiology departments by making it more difficult
to develop new techniques.''
The Academy, in a new opinion issued Dec. 4, said France should adopt
without modification the Euratom radiation protection directive, which
sets a professional dose limit of 100 mSv averaged over five years and
doesn't change the current annual exposure limit of 50 mSv.
