N2 - Our debaters have agreed to defend positions that appear to be diametrically opposed; nevertheless, they have acknowledged some common ground. Although it was not explicitly stated, they would no doubt agree that workers and the public are adequately protected by opur present system of radiation regualations. Our debaters have overtly agreed that it would be desirable to have measurable radiation protection quantities. Whether or not this is advantageous, or even possible, will depend upon which argument swayed your opinion. The ICRP is presently examining its recommendations and will, over the next few years, update those recommendations. Therefore, the contributions of our debaters will surely be relevant to this process.
