Johanna Faust, a mixed race Jew, prefers to publish pseudonymously. She is committed: first, to preventing war, ecological disaster, and nuclear apocalypse; last to not only fighting for personal privacy & the freedom of information, but, by representing herself as a soldier in that fight, to exhorting others to do the same. She is a poet, always. All these efforts find representation here: "ah, Mephistophelis" is so named after the last line of Christopher Marlowe's Dr. Faustus, whose heretical success flouted the censor for a time. 













































































































































          

        

          

        










NRC PROPOSED LAWS MAKE HELLA RADIATION EVERYWHERE OK BECAUSE ITS "GOOD FOR US" | comment deadline Sept. 8!!





















"No Excuses, No Nukes" by T. Arata













PLEASE HELP SPREAD THE WORD: INTELLIGENT COMMENTS ARE NEEDED AND SOON -- DEADLINE IS SEPTEMBER 8















https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2015/06/23/2015-15441/linear-no-threshold-model-and-standards-for-protection-against-radiation











The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has received three 
petitions for rulemaking (PRM) requesting that the NRC amend its 
“Standards for Protection Against Radiation” regulations and change the 
basis of those regulations from the Linear No-Threshold (LNT) model of 
radiation protection to the radiation hormesis model. The radiation 
hormesis model provides that exposure of the human body to low levels of
 ionizing radiation is beneficial and protects the human body against 
deleterious effects of high levels of radiation. Whereas, the LNT model 
provides that radiation is always considered harmful, there is no safety
 threshold, and biological damage caused by ionizing radiation 
(essentially the cancer risk) is directly proportional to the amount of 
radiation exposure to the human body (response linearity).... The NRC is
 requesting public comments on these petitions for rulemaking...



of particular note:







..Public doses should be raised to 
worker doses. The petitioner notes that “these low doses may be 
hormetic. The petitioner goes on to ask, “why deprive the public of the 
benefits of low dose radiation?”...



and 



        

...End differential doses to pregnant women, embryos and fetuses, and children under 18 years of age...





COMMENTS CLOSE IN 2 DAYS.

 supporting documents withdrawn "at the request of the NRC" (i poked 
around in the html source to find out there were 12 of them):

    This should be no problem at all! Just as long as the benefits of low dose radiation is applied to NRC regulators and their children.
     Of course the gov should not be deprived also.
