[ RadSafe ] Article by Vincent Giuliano on "Radiation Hormesis"

[Jerry Cohen]

Otto,
    Given that there are billions of people on the earth, and that you can 
take as much time as you want to do the study, I believe that sooner or 
later, you might observe some adverse effect of exposure to 15 mrem/a. But 
then you couldn't be certain that this couldn't happen at 10 mrem/a, or any 
other level >o. What we need is some criterion to determine "How much is too 
much?"
