RE: Air Sampling for unknowns to Use of Radsafe as a Forum
Jerry,
I agree that this is probably of general interest to the group.
George's request for private response made me think about pointing that
out as well. It makes me want to go into a little tirade, so here I
go...
I wish there was more practical information being shared through this
forum. It is my general observation that Radsafe is being used most
extensively by a few groups who are studying areas of health physics
that are not directly practical such as LNT, Radon, dirty bombs, and the
favorite - media hype.
I for one am happy to see all of these things discussed and debated and
presented here on Radsafe. But I also think that people with very
simple technical and applied questions should feel free to use the
forum, and that most of that information is of general interest. And I
am very disappointed in those who engage in non-constructively
criticizing others for asking basic HP questions. I don't think Radsafe
should be a private intellectual country club.
I know this topic has been discussed in the past but I think that some
people still avoid asking basic questions and exchanging basic
information publicly (myself included) for fear that it will make them
look bad to the Radsafe "moral majority". And this is mainly because a
few bad apples jump down your throat over certain questions.
By the way, I do recognize that the Radsafe "quiet majority" is
populated by kind professionals who are happy to help out a colleague at
any level.
Do I share the same opinions as others?
Well at least I got that off my chest.
My opinions only.

All,
Actually, I'm interested in this topic as well and believe that it
would be
of general interest to the list.

To All
What are the current guidance documents or references relating to best
practices for air sampling unknown radionuclides in the environment? As
this
topic may not be of great interest to many, please respond off the
list. My
thanks in advance to those who respond.
