In the US, the standard is the Curie, dpm, and rem. Almost all regulations are written in conventional units, and they are the working units.
Unless you work with SI units, it is very difficult to read articles that are written in SI units. Because of units, it is impossible to recommend HP journal articles to technicians or non-HPs. Nobody can follow an oral presentation in SI units, unless they work in those units.
I am accusing the HP society of not serving it's people by forcing units in publications that the majority of US nuclear workers don't understand.
I would not be against a big coordinated change over across all areas of government regulation, but I don't think it is a reality in this country. Until then, lets please encourage the HPS to publish in dual units so that the entire globe is served.
