I told a client that I had no confidence in the FAS
calculations in:
because they did not reveal the exact model used
(presumably one of the Gaussian smokestack models, like the EPA's
CAP-88?) or the input values fed into it; only their
conclusions. His answer to me was: (1) it was presented to Congress with all
their staffers and no one objected, and (2) there had been no outcry of
objections from any of the "professional radiation groups", so it must be good
work. This second point hurt!! Someone with much more clout than I have
should write to FAS and request clarification, or suggest that their
article be submitted to a publication with a peer review process. Just
my opinion!
