Re: Health Physics on UseNet?

     I have also searched for usenet newsgroups which discuss health 
     physics and could not find any except the discussion group(s?) for 
     medical physics.  I do not believe that usenet newsgroups for health 
     physics exist and that this radsafe as well as the European radsafe 
     listservers are the only active internet discussion groups for health 
     physics.
     
     You probably have already done extensive web and similar searches.  
     However, you also may want to try the below process to confirm that HP 
     newsgroups do or do not exist.
     
        Send e-mail to:
     
             mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu
     
        and include either or both of these line in the BODY of the note:
     
             send usenet/news.answers/active-newsgroups/part1 (also get 
             part2)
             
             send usenet/news.answers/alt-hierarchies/part1 (also get part2 
             & part3)
     
     
        to get a listing of usenet newsgroups and hierarchies.[*]

Greetings fellow RadSafers:
     
I'm new to exploring Health Physics and related topics on the Internet.  I 
was wondering whether there are any newsgroups (UseNet) which cover 
(specifically or as a main feature) health physics, radiation protection, 
etc.  I tried searching for such a newsgroup and all I could find was 
sci.med.physics (medical physics) - not my area of specialty.  Please 
respond via RadSafe as there are doubtless other "Newbies" who would 
appreciate the same info.
