Could our best bet be the IAEA?  As a matter of fact, one of my employees is 
returning from Armenia (a former Russian state) tomorrow, where he's been 
for about 3 weeks, helping to train the locals in emergency planning and 
response, under the auspices of the IAEA and Tom McKenna (who is on loan to 
the IAEA from the NRC).  Surely, efforts such as this need to be continued 
elsewhere in Russia, and it will require more than a little dedication on 
the part of health physics professionals.

So what can we do to help the Russians with their very real fear?  If
Greenpeace is over there, what US organizations can we muster to counter
the Greenpeace propaganga?  Al Tschaeche xat@inel.gov
