Hallo Bjorn,



of course you meant to write 5000 and 2000 mren/y.



And I am quite sure you won't mix up a chronic dose of 50 mSv/y with an

accidental dose of 50 mSv. But this is exactly what Trittin does when he

claims it unlogical to reduce the occupational dose limits to 20 mSv/y

without reducing the accidental dose limits as well. BTW, 20 mSv/y is a

german speciality, as well. EU demands 100 mSv/5y.



Greetings from Kiel week (June 16. to 24.)



Harald
