Re: Environmentalism & the US Constitution

["David Whitfill" <djwhitfill@MSN.COM>]

Here is a little snippet that may be of interest:



"A cursory review of the legal and technical facts contained in many of the 

basic U.S. radiation protection standards suggests that the standards are 

numerous and complex, principally control activities that make relatively 

small contributions to the overall U.S. population doses, have become more 

restrictive over time, and follow no common rationale in achieving public 

health objectives."



>From Environmental Radioactivity, 4th Edition 1997, by Eisenbud and Gesell 

(original reference Compendium of Major U.S. Radiation Protection Standards 

and Guides: Legal and Technical Facts, by W.A.Mills et al., ORNL 1988).
