Radiation Safety Travel Tips

[Chris Alston <alstonc@odrge.odr.georgetown.edu>]

>In searching the web for tourist information about Italy, I ran across a
>site listing health spas (www.wel.it).  Several of these spas feature
>radioactive waters.  I quote:  "They are used as drinks, in spa baths,
>inhalation and lava ge.  Used to treat gout, neuralgie, chronic rheumatism,
>allergies, obesity and female sterility."  Obviously, we are going about the
>business of radiation safety all wrong.  Rather than shielding people we
>could be opening spas.
