Re: RADSAFE digest 2753
I am baffled as to why some health physicists whom I know to be intelligent and
educated persons are so eager to be victims, always blaming the omnipresent and
all powerful "antinukes" for everything that goes wrong. Besides being childish,
it diverts us from identifying and correcting our own weaknesses.
Unfortunately, most of RADSAFE seems to have become:
1. attacking the opposition's credentials
2. comparative body counts, i.e. (coal, cars, you name it) is more dangerous
3. It's only a few mrem, why the fuss?
4. "It's not fair."
This does not reflect well on us as a profession.
The opinions expressed are strictly mine.
It's not about dose, it's about trust.
