  • As well as ad hominem attacks, makes some specific allegations about errors in his research
  • Anonymous, single post blog. Dr. Busby claimed (http://www.counterpunch.org/busby03282011.html) this was written by Dr. Richard Wakeford, with whom Busby was engaged in CERRIE (Committee Examining Radiation Risk from Internal Emitters), a United Kingdom government committee "with an oppositional or dialogical structure" (http://www.llrc.org/rat/subrat/rat522.htm). Dr. Busby, of Green Audit, served among four from the "radical side" and Dr. Wakeford, of British Nuclear Fuels plc, among "four from NRPB or the nuclear industry". However, Dr. Busby has since accepted Dr. Wakeford's assurance that he is not the author (http://www.llrc.org/richardd.htm) and "Dr. Wakeford has invited Professor Busby to submit an article to the Journal of Radiological Protection, which he edits, on one of the main points made on the anonymous website."
