I have degrees in natural science and radiologic technology and have worked with radiation for more than 3 decades. Unless you can trump that I AM the expert.
Yes. I can trump that. I have degrees in natural science and biological sciences.
I used to respect the professional knowledge of those in the radiologic technology field. At some point I considered working in the nuclear energy field. Then when Fukushima hit I started to study up on what had happened in the nuclear energy field since I was in college. I was dismayed that none of the challenges set before the industry so long ago had been addressed.
Then I began to interact with radiologic “experts” on FReeRepublic. One conversation at a time, the lack of professionalism and knowledge on the part of those who specialize in all things nuclear and radiological tore down my opinion of those disciplines. The shocking lack of ethics and professional development, the contempt for citizenry, the preening over false superiority (pointing to credentials and claiming expertise while acting like a ignorant buffoon) all eroded nuclear power and it’s related technologies. Your expertise is too limited and biased and is too feeble to trump the rest of the people on this board. To make decisions and have opinions on these issues requires ethics and willingness to learn - you and others in your field have neither. So you’re a big bad “expert” in your own mind but I can’t respect your “credentials.”
