Re: Air Sampling for unknowns to Use of Radsafe as a Forum
James and other "Radsafers".
I agree with you, in general, but I think such things as LNT, Radon, dirty
bombs, etc are "directly practical" radiation protection concerns. I don't
mind seeing the media "hype" because my delete button is easy to find.
What does the rest of the "silent majority" (or is it a silent minority?:)
think?
