Re: Treatment of radiation accident/terrorism victims
Jim et al
You asked "Are we a small group with a mission to mislead?"
I THINK NOT!
Having been a member of the NCRP, an ICRP task group and several IAEA and
NEA committees, I think that the other members of these groups were the same
as me. We were not the same small group, but were selected scientists who
tried to provide good recommendations and/or guidelines to address the item
we were select to address.
If this is not the case, please point me to information that would lead
reasonable people to think otherwise.
