[ RadSafe ] FW: Outpatient I-131 Therapy under attack

[Steven Dapra]

March 18

             More whining (in USA Today article) about the danger to 
children.  How many I-131 patients are around children, and for how long?

           Assuming that Peter Crane's 200 milliC is true, at an 
average distance of 15 feet, how many millirems would someone receive 
in eight hours?
