AW: Denver, BEWARE!

[Franz Schönhofer <franz.schoenhofer@CHELLO.AT>]

Jim and RADSAFErs,



Only now I recognized the link given in the mail below and got at once

alarmed when seeing "gfstrahlenschutz.de". The socalled "Gesellschaft

für Strahlenschutz" (or as they call themselves "Society for Radiation

Protection" is  n o t  (!!!) a society which comprises the relevant

experts and scientists in radiation protection, but a clearly

anti-nuclear, anti-radioactivity, anti-scientific aggregation of

agitators and self-declared experts. The only organisation representing

German and Swiss internationally acknowledged scientists and experts is

the "Fachverband fuer Strahlenschutz" (FS), which is also a member of

IRPA of course. The Austrian Society for Radiation Protection, another

member of IRPA and for which I am a member of the board is very often

cooperating with FS. 



The name of this "Gesellschaft für Strahlenschutz" has been deliberately

used to pretend an official character, like often words like

"Institute", "Research Institute", "Association", "Independent" etc. are

used. 



Look at their homepage - a part of information is also available in

English, then you will recognize that the board is a "Who is who" in

non-scientific antinuclear propaganda. Mrs. Schmitz-Feuerhake is one of

the best known. She was very close to be expelled from her university,

because it was found that in her antinuclear "research" she simply

skipped data because they did not fit her intentions. She recently

wanted to present a paper at an Austrian conference and her

(anti-nuclear) contribution was refused, because the co-authors

mentioned on her manuscript did not only not know about her submission

but refused to support her conclusions. The real reason: Her paper

lacked any scientific standard. She stands behind a "scientific" work on

radioactivity close to a German NPP (the "Elbmarschen") which is so

ridiculous that it might be good for a quiz for university students

under the title "Find at least half of the 500 wrong "facts" described

in this paper" within 30 minutes. 



Prof. Koehnlein is well known for his anti-nuclear engagement. He is not

from the University of Muenster - he is retired. He was awarded for his

anti-nuclear engagement by being appointed deputy head of the German

Radiation Protection Commission when the outspoken anti-nuclear Minister

Trittin from the Green Party changed the Radiation Protection Commission

into a body satisfying his political attempts. 



I could go on, but I think it is not worth the time wasted. 



I hope this gives you a correct view on some facts. This is not a

comment supporting hormesis!
