> I asked about the IAEA WHO conference in Seville, Spain in November of

> Radiation".  
> 
> What was concluded? LNT aye or nay?
> 
> On a related theme (oh oh -- is that a too musical word for Melissa??)
> I would like to know what is "generally" thought of BELLE, the
> University of Massachusetts group / organization devoted to
> "Biological Effects of Low Level Exposures"?  I am NOT being
> accusatory / pejorative / closed-minded, nor do I have preconceived
> opinions, nor am I trying to "make a point" or step on "toes" -- I
> just want to have a feel ... so, is BELLE a truly "impartial"
> organisation or does it have an "agenda", ie radiation -> hormesis ->
> good -> [LNT = garbage] ->  [IAEA/WHO/NRC/EPA/NRPB/etc public dose
> limits are too low]?
