Re: Treatment of radiation accident/terrorism victims
Dear Jim,
With due respect I don’t agree with you and 100 % I agree with John
I also have been for about 30 years an IAEA expert
and Consultant, and I were pleased to meet and to work with respectable
group of
scientists, in various documents today in use in many developing and
developed countries. One these document, devoted to treatment of radiation
accident, is the TECDOC 1009 Dosimetric and medical aspects of the
Radiological Accident in Goiania in 1987, June 1998 – This document
was supervised my by Brazilian colleague, Joyce L. Lipsztein, Member of ICRP
Committee 2 and describes the dosimetric and medical aspects of the Goiania
Accident, including the experience of some of the scientists and physicians
who where involved in the management, monitoring and treatment of the
victims, over a period of 10 years follow-up.

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.
