Sandy,

I believe that is an EPA standard for release of facilities.

Good coverage tonight, except for the following statement:

Estimated 0.005 mrem per scan and then, the government recommends 25
mrem from a single source per year is 25 mrem! What is this 25 mrem
value? What are they talking about?

Otherwise, a good story.
