"Beware Low-Level Radiation" (REVISED)

["Otto G. Raabe" <ograabe@ucdavis.edu>]

May 9, 1997
Washington, DC

"Beware Low-Level Radiation" is the heading of two letters on page A24 of
today's Washington Post newspaper (Friday, May 9, 1997). The first letter
from Marvin Resnikoff is a well-stated anti-nuclear analysis that is based
almost exclusively on the work of RERF and ICRP. It directly criticizes HPS
position paper on LNT. The author is a career anti-nuclear physicist whose
book "Living With Landfills" was described as "biased" in an NCRP report.
The second letter is by Arlie Schardt, who describes himself as the
executive director of a nonprofit environmental organization.

These two letter deserve careful evaluation by anyone involved in the LNT
controversy.
