2009年のバズビーとヴァレンティンの討論の一部の書き起こしがありました。 CB: The draft ICRP Recommendations said that for many internal exposures the concept of absorbed dose was not valid. We would agree with that of course, but it disappeared from the final report. Why?
JV: In fact there is a whole section of the Biological annex which talks about the difficulties. I don't know exactly why the specific statement disappeared but a person reading those paragraphs in the annex will be able to see there's huge uncertainty.
CB: We're not talking about uncertainty but about the impossibility of using absorbed dose for internal nuclides.
JV: ICRP's position is that it's possible to use it albeit with large uncertainties.
CB: How large is large?
JV: Two orders is a very large uncertainty.
CB: So it could be in error by two orders for some internal exposures ― so we agree?
JV: (laughing) I'd hate for you to go home and say "Jack agreed with me"
CB: but I need an answer
JV: Then the answer is I don't agree with you. (laughing)
CB: but you just said Two orders of magnitude …
