[ RadSafe ] protraction enhancement effect

[Brennan, Mike (DOH)]

That is my understanding, based on the paper Barbara linked to.  My two
thoughts on it are (1) it would seem to fly in the face of Linear No
Threshold, and (2) they really need a catchier name for it, 'cause how
can you get any traction for an concept when its acronym is PEE?

Does this mean that it is more dangerous to have been exposed over a 
longer time period than to have received the same total dosage over a 
shorter time period?

document, and I just want to see if other, more knowledgeable people
think it means what I think it means.
