Jerry,
I am not German (I am Austrian), though I have been borne in 1944
as a German citizen. I believe that I have a good knowledge about also
the German history (which was quite different until 1938 from the
Austrian one), ever since and as well after WWI. Though I cannot make
any sense of your remarks, I would like to ask you to enlighten me and
probably other RADSAFErs what your remarks mean, especially with respect
to "the USA during the 50's and 60's".
Even more I would be interested to know, what, what you call the
ALARA period, has to do with the Nazi regime.
I would not only be interested to know, but I would ultimatively
urge you to explain. One of the former fighters advocating the benefits
of deliberate irradiation called an international body for a
Gestapo-organisation. I am very happy that he has been banned now
forever from RADSAFE.
I hope to receive a satisfactory answer - otherwise
you should avoid any such comments which show not only lack of
historical understanding but also lack of understanding for any
radiation protection principles.
Franz
