Re: Dose to fog camera film

John asks some very good questions, and the questions below do 
provide the necessary information that there were in fact NO 
releases at the levels Steven Wing or those who would like to collect 
$$$ from GPU are alleging. If we all think back, there was no 
evidence of releases of Iodines in any appreciable levels. Noble 
gases released amounted to dose estimates of ~ 80 mrem for the entire 
TMI incident. It was because of this that the courts first allowe 
olitigation to be filed for the "stree" caused to the popultaion 
"thinking" that they were in fact, in danger. Now we have these 
reprted high doses.

All those employees who worked at TMI HAD dosimetry. There were 
environmental badges in the field, around the plant and in other 
areas in the near vicinity. The federal workers came in with their 
dosimetry and fly-overs determined ground deposition. The state ad 
fedreal agencies then collected the ground deposition, plant and 
other biota. These are the facts.

Steven Wing has his own agenda, and if you read the news clippings, 
he got involved by looking at the various litigation caswes being 
followed, and that "prompted" him to look at the data. He refers to a 
study at Columbia University, and questions their conclusions. 
Columbia says that Wing should be totally ignored, and his questions 
of their studies are motivated by other factors.

Wing is a renegade, on the same order of Gofman and crew. Howver, who 
do you think the public is going to believe?  Want to bet is "isn't 
us."!!!
