RE: Air Sampling for unknowns to Use of Radsafe as a Forum
All,
I don't mind the *high traffic* all that much, it just makes it a bit harder
to wade through RADSAFE. I've worked rummaging through RADSAFE into my job;
I pass on interesting stuff to other people in my program. On the other
hand, RADSAFE is not the best venue for an in-depth discussion or debate on
any topic. I do not like it when discussiond get personal and accusatory
bordering on slanderous (or is it libelous). So, on the whole I tend to
agree with you.
I do like the idea of the Virtual Radiation Museum's (VRM) discussion rooms
as a start to in-depth discussions. Although I prefer the *point
counter-point* with rebuttals format used in Health Physics from time to
time. With the latter format in the journal, I'm aware of the discussion and
can read and re-read it at my leisure. The drawback to the VRM and other
electronic distribution-like things (I'm thinking of the HPS/ANSI standards
on the HPS website.) is that I don't know when things have changed, been
added, or a particularly interesting discussion is taking place.
On the whole, I enjoy RADSAFE and have incorporated it into my workday.

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?
