Re: Independent assessment of rad environmental monitoring

[LIPTONW@dteenergy.com]

I would tend to look for someone in academia who has the credentials that
are 
needed, and who is known to be objective.  We have received assistance from
a 
university in Michigan.  New England has a wealth of outstanding
universities 
which could be tapped.  Some radiological health programs which may have the 
persons you need are those of the University of Lowell (MA), Harvard School
of 
Public Health, and MIT.  I'm sure there are others. 
 
The opinions expressed are strictly mine. 
It's not about dose, it's about trust.
