Jim,



I suppose that it might be easy to find publications, which will tell you

about the effects of radiation as shown in chromosome aberrations. At least

I know about one in connection with radon......



Thinking of what has happened today in New York and Washington I would hope

that the question of the deadly effects of low-level radiation vs the

hormesis effects of it is pushed a little into the background, taking into

account that there are really more important and long-ranging questions to

be solved on this earth, than to quarrel about peanuts, from whatever side.



Franz
