Survey on XLNT Action Plan

Dear Colleague, This survey is to obtain input from those interested in helping to overcome the LNT model problem with regard to radiation. Please respond to the survey and indicate in what ways you would be willing/able to help. Also, please pass on the survey link to your friends and colleagues who would be interested in helping. The LNT model problem is indeed a major one, and help is needed from a very large number of individuals with a variety of backgrounds. The amount of support in these responses would be assessed and after sufficient support is available, the XLNT action items would be initiated. When you respond to this survey, your email address will be added to the XLNT newsletter group through which updates will be provided on the progress of the effort. Thanks for your help.
