Elizabeth Brackett, HPS President-elect

There has been a great deal of discussion regarding the history of the linear no-threshold (LNT) model videos posted on the Health Physics Society (HPS) website (The History of the Linear No-Threshold Model). Because of the very broad range of opinions that has been expressed, a task force is being assembled to determine the future of these videos. This task force will review the existing history of LNT videos for opportunities regarding improvements to better meet the HPS mission and vision. It will also establish the future direction for this video series. The first task assigned to this group is to assemble a survey of the membership to gather opinions on the existing series, as well as future directions.

We encourage all members to view the videos and provide feedback and input.
