Re: Article " Radiation Risk and Ethics"1

[Jim Muckerheide <jmuckerheide@delphi.com>]

Group,

The subject paper is on the web:
http://www.riskworld.com/Nreports/1999/jaworowski/NR99aa01.htm

More accurately: "Radiation Risk and the Lack of Ethics" :-)

Please forward to others  (that support nuclear technologies rather than
defraud the public for cleanup $$ and other wasteful fear-mongering
exercises that severely constrain nuclear technologies).

Note also Jaworowski's papers as applied to the primary exposed
populations and biology at:
