So if you read my last post, you read my email to the HPS Web Editor. He replied. I'm not going to post his full response, but I will post one sentence in full context:
"You will note that HPS declares only a limited endorsement of LNT."
WOW! LNT is the central theory of radiation health effects at low dose and the Health Physics Society only declares a limited endorsement of it!
That's like a geology society only declaring limited endorsement of plate tectonics or a biology society only declaring limited endorsement of evolution.
This is my last year of membership!
What's particularly deceitful about this is the HPS's Code of Ethics. One requirement states:
"Professional statements made by members shall have sound scientific basis."
But how can this be, with only a limited endorsement of the science?!?!
