Thanks, Ruth (was RE: UF6)

Although a neophyte, I joined this list to try and learn about the real 

risks of the "nuclear terrorism" I keep hearing about in the news. It has 

been most comforting.



One of many people who has taken the time to help educate me has been Ruth 

Weiner. I've had many interesting (to me, probably boring to most of you 

and perhaps even her) discussions with her both on and off list. I have 

learned much.



One thing I've learned, is that I'm glad I don't work in your field where 

it's regulated by people who seemingly don't understand. Oops...my field is 

regulated by the FCC. Hmmm....is there a field that relies on scientific 

principal anymore? At least mistakes in broadcasting (unlike nuclear and 

rockets) don't have quite the high risk to human life...ours is more of a 

pervasive, low-level degradation of life as we know it. What does the 

hormesis curve for TV look like? Or is TV truly LNT? <smile>



Thanks, Ruth (and others)!



Richard
