Re: AW: Hanford Site cleanup standards

["Jerry Cohen" <jjcohen@PRODIGY.NET>]

If  new technology is not applied, how is it known weather it presents a new

hazard?

If society were to avoid everything that MIGHT be hazardous, there would be

no progress.

Prudent precaution is , of course, a good idea. If only we could all agree

on what is prudent and what isn't -----

Many thanx, Franz, for expressing something that was bothering me, but I

hadn't been able to express.

You raised an important issue.  What are the responsibilities for an

organization that develops a new technology, with new hazards, which are not

yet regulated, and for which there are no published standards?
