[ RadSafe ] body dose

[Perle, Sandy]

Mark,

The data suggests a small intake considering the references to ICRP and
site standards. If this has been the case since the early 1960's and your
father is 84, it appears to me that he is doing well and at this point
there is no action needed for any reason.

Regards,

Sandy
