Re: HP Positions
I agree with both Sandy and Mike, but one thing comes to mind: I'm always
seeing messages, on Radsafe, from medical hp's calling for an end to NRC
regulation of medical radionuclide use. It seems that we're sometimes our
own worst enemies.
The opinions expressed are strictly mine.
It's not about dose, it's about trust.
Curies forever.
