Re: " Scientists Say Dirty Bomb Would Be a Dud " - fear of radiation
Dear Lars,
Thank you for the reference. I know your paper, as well many others that you
wrote, your
contribution to radiation safety is very fruitful.
When I had asked if American is educated to understand the consequences of a
RDD and to minimize the emotions, fear or phobia my purpose is to learn the
American experience in this direction. I know, and I have some details, by
the internet on American States exercises, the last in Seattle. One of my
intention comparing the radiological accident in Goiania x RDD, is how to
improve decision making before an RDD and during the event. If country does
not educate public previously to understand what is a RDD and how to deal
with, the response will be very complicated, as it was in Goiania, due the
complete population ignorance.
Brazilian researchers produced good papers on psychological and medical
stress due impact, I'll use as reference on this issue, however all of them
point out the problems, not solutions about to minimize them in terms of
decisions and actions, considering what to do, when to do, whom to address
and how to do.
Now I am learning American: researchers and public reactions on RDD, and I
want to learn more from colleagues of this list.
Until now I got only very few comments on this issue, doesn't matter this is
also part of the complete spectrum..
