I was not familiar with it. Thank you.

Better get your lead underwear on, then. You're exposed to radiation

radium) or near any coal fired power station (1 part per million of
uranium in coal, lots of Radon emitted).


No place to hide, really, for you :-)

Quite right. Why do you suppose there has always been people died of
cancer?
The more you get, the greater chance of getting cancer.


The greatest cause of cancer is the oxygen you breathe.It is carefully
transported around the body and delivered to your cells where combustion
takes place, and energy is produced. Some of the by product of this is
oxygen radicals that are *highly* reactive chemically and attack your
DNA. This causes damage. Fortunately all cells have repair mechanisms
that fix this damage up, continually. Above a certain level of damage,
however, these mechanisms can't cope. And for reasons I won't go into,
this gets worse as you get older.

Radiation splits up water molecules and produces the same sort of oxygen
radicals, which is why the damage is similar. Below a certain radiation
level, the body copes. Above it, it can't. That's why Linear no
Threshold is cobblers.

It would hardly be surprising that free radical formation can kill cancerous
cells although if you read later papers that cite the one above you will see
that the methodology used above does not prevent tumour growth in a whole
body system although there do seem to be some interesting effects when the
oxygen radical is combined with poly ethylene glycol. Of course a man, like
yourself, with such a vast scientific background will know that modeling an
effect in mice (*) does not actually mean there will be as much of an effect
when used clinicaly.

The low end of all dose response curves has always been difficult to draw as
there are legitimate differences in the way that models are drawn in order
to compensate for a lack of definite knowledge of the effects of low doses
(of compund or radiation) - there is a general acceptance that there is no
threshold for carcinogenic or mutagenic effects this does not mean that
there is a straight line relationship between dose and response - but there
is a lack of evidence for extremely low dose response curves due to the
difficulty in identifying the actual causes of harm in the large population
sizes needed to gather such data.

Read all about LNT here

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_no-threshold_model

What emerges if you read it from a balanced perspective was that when
standards for radiological exposure had to be implemented, they picked
LNT as a model on which to base them. There never was, and never has
been, strong evidence to show that LNT is an accurate model of low to
moderate radiation exposure. Indeed results from random sampling and of
course Chernobyl, suggests it grossly overstates the impact of chronic
low level radiation.

HOWEVER standards had to be set, and the LNT model was the worst anyone
felt it could possibly be, so if we stuck to that public safety was
assured. And importantly, it shut everyone up. It was essentially as
stringent as anyone felt it needed to be.In politics a decisions that
halts argument, is a good one. And the nuclear industry felt it could
easily (if expensively) reach the standards, and the kit was designed to
those standards.


Now Dennis, or harry or whatever claims he worked in the NHS, where he
would have had this drummed into him as a safety standard, and being a
few candles short of a light bulb. believes that the model on which the
standards are based to have more than *political* validity. The short
answer to why radiologists wear lead aprons is of course politics: To
protect the NHS from being sued when someone gets a deformed kid or
testicular cancer, on the grounds that they were frightened by an X-ray
machine, without lead underpants on, once, in 1972.

There is almost no scientific evidence one way or another as to what the
cumulative effects of low level radiation a It is just possible to
detect cancer rates above average around radon areas, but the amount of
radioactivity that represents is many many times higher than normal
background, and about 1000 times the safe doses that nuclear industry
workers or the public are exposed to.

Cohen claimed in his 1995 paper
(http://www.phyast.pitt.edu/%7Eblc/LNT-1995.PDF) that lower level radon
radiation actually REDUCED the risks of lung cancer. And managed to find
more evidence to support it than exists for the LNT model, although his
results are widely ignored.

What is significant about Wade Allison, apart from the fact he wrote a
book, which presumably makes money

(http://www.radiationandreason.com/)

is that he is also a qualified medical professor of physics. With
slightly more than an HNC in electrical machines, from 1967...This is
essentially his field, and he has made it his business to study it.

Whether he and Cohen are just mavericks trying to make names for
themselves by swimming against the politically correct tide or whether
they are in fact simply uncovering the reality of the rather less than
horrifying dangers of low level radiation, is a moot point.

There is a lot of money to be made in energy of any sort, and FUD is
rampant.

What is a fact, is that LNT, the theory on which radiological safety
standards have been set most conservatively, has never been supported by
any evidence whatsoever. Such evidence as DOES exist tends to refute it,
but short of having half a dozen Chernobyls and a few million people to
do the experiment with, it's unlikely we ever will be able to prove it
or entirely refute it.

To tell the truth that was actually cribbed out of a text-book (Toxicology
4th Edition Casserett & Doull) although this in now in it's 7th edition so
the version I have may well be out of date in this area. That being said it
just goes to show that theories are subject to revision.

Personally I have always been suspicious of graphs that seek to show
extrapolated dose/response relationships as the line drawn always seems to
have some relationship to the employerof the author - ie those funded by big
business and the like are more likely to adopt models that indicate a higher
threshold whereas those drawn by 'green' funded organisations always seem to
tend to the most apocalyptic result. That is not to say that the data is
fudged but that the choice of model can be adjusted to suit the
preconceptions required.

this does not mean that there is a straight line relationship
between dose and response - but there is a lack of evidence for extremely
low dose response curves due to the difficulty in identifying the actual
causes of harm in the large population sizes needed to gather such data.

Perhaps. No real measure.

If you take IEE membership requirements, ISTR HND or degree was
sufficient.

HNC with an endorsement in engineering Physics only entitled you to sit
their part 3 exam which in 1964 was a further years study.

The difference between the two being what exactly ?

"We rejected a lot of degree level people when recruiting"

Amusing that you say "we" as if you were part of it

The other answer being that the jobs on offer weren't of a high enough
standard to require someone with a degree

The difference between the two being what exactly ?

"We rejected a lot of degree level people when recruiting"

Amusing that you say "we" as if you were part of it

The other answer being that the jobs on offer weren't of a high enough
standard to require someone with a degree

stop digging now, you'll never get out of the hole retard



You are still too thick to understand it then!

Maybe that's where you are getting confused

You really just can't read can you?
Were you in charge of paper clip deliveries?

C'mon now - that would require an ability to count

dennis would have to take his shoes off to count above 10


He can do decimal points if he takes his pants off. 0.25cm is better
than nothing.


That was a little bit below the belt,....

Is it fractional?


Irrational more like.

Well yes it does if its theoretical stuff you are recruiting for..
maybe not if you want practical ability.
We rejected a lot of degree level people when recruiting as they
just couldn't think!


I just realised -

either you haven't got a degree

or you haven't a clue

Marconi, wasn't it ?

There is no such device. Nor will there be.
There are, more or less, such devices. You or I cannot by one
though.


It's pretty much what goes in a nuclear sub.- Hide quoted text -

Afraid not. The nuclear sub has the sea for cooling pirposes. Not
available to any "portable device".

I am a technocrat. Not a feeble minded old retard masquerading as an

So, what do you actually do, what qualifications do you have ?

I am now retired . The last job I had was energy efficiency engineer
in the NHS. Previously I was in charge of operations and maintenence
at various large hospitals. I had to deal with radiocactive materials
there. I have HNC in electrical machines, power and control sytems
also in applied heat and mechanic.
i came up from the tools.


Well done for doing so. An HNC was equivalent to an A Level to those that
came into education late in life.

I worked for government industries such as the CEGB and Water Authorities.
During the '80s, it was amazing to note the number of useless folk that
migrated from those before privatisation to the NHS. Part of the problem
that it still has.
