Ray,



I would think that more than a decade of almost continual 

exposure, for a large number of the inhabitants, is quite powerful 

data and evidence. When we have some attempting to demonstrate 

cancer effects when there is truly low dose exposure, how can we 

ignore the fact when we actually have extremely high dose rates, 

over a long period of time, and very few cancers, that perhaps the 

risk estimates of many may be off, a tad.



Perpetuating fear does no one any good. Perhaps the true victims 

would be those who would lose all of the grant $$ if the hypothesis 

they have been trying to prove, demonstrates that the null 

hypothesis is the actual case.
