[Norman & Karen Cohen <norco@bellatlantic.net>]

Sandy, and others: according to the Tooth people, when asked the "denver"
question::

> Simple answer: comparing background vs. reactor emissions is apples vs.
> oranges.
>
> Background
> - is made up of mostly long-lived products
> - generally disperses throughout soft tissues
> - is something that humans have become accustomed to over millions of years.
>
> Reactor emissions
> - is made up of both long-lived AND short-lived products
> - does different things to the body (attacks thyroid cells, attacks bone/bone
> marrow cells)
> - is very new, only since 1945
>
> Thus, health effects of each will be different.
>

  OK - radsafers, fire away!
