Re: Government Is Slow to Offer Safety Plans

["J. J. Rozental" <joseroze@netvision.net.il>]

With due respect I accept your opinion, however I don't agree with you.  I

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, providing good recommendations

and today in use in many developing and

developed countries.

Crediting Sandy Perle with the correct assessment of the conditions, Dr.

Rozental continues to provide the erroneous "answers" that cause conditions

like Tokaimura. Use of extreme "rules" and "programs" that make no sense,

because people "can be trained like monkeys to follow, with only a little

more punitive actions by 'regulators'" will always fail.



The IAEA/ICRP et al. rules are almost entirely devoid of good practice

outside of the very pragmatic core of good practices that are outside of the

"policy" arena that are the domain of self-serving politician leaders, They

are the equivalent of putting a speed limit of 15 km per hour on the German

autobahn. The workers at Tokaimura circumvented the design/controls just

like anyone does when the rules are stupid and frustrating. When the "rules"

have enough force of law, the penalty for following them simply leads

rational people to abandon the effort. The costs to society would be

enormous, and people would take non-autobahn roads, and kill more people, if

the rules were simply more rigidly enforced by a militant cadre of

bureaucrats.



This defines the IAEA, and the failure to build more nuclear power plants,

to the great benefit of the fossil fuel industries of the leading countries

if IAEA, and the morticians of the world, especially the third world whose

deaths are at the hands of the Rozental of the IAEA and ICRP/NCRP.



This used to include UNSCEAR, but in taking on an independent voice on

behalf of the science since the 1994 report, the countries supporting IAEA,

ICRP/NCRP, etc. have attempted to terminate it (initially to get it under

ICRP control), and are now killing it by cutting its funds. Just as they

killed the radium dial painter studies, and got RERF under control following

the US DOE aborted attempt to assign it to a highly biased director at

Columbia, but failing that, assured the direction of its efforts through a

"blue ribbon committee" led by that "independent expert," Roger Clarke - I

thought this was especially appropriate since "blue ribbons" is what they

award to the prize pigs at the "county fairs" - to produce the falsified

results wanted by the rad protection policy-makers, or die.
