Hi,



Strange, but I remember the reasons for and the act of setting the limit for

radioactive materials at 100 nCi per gram.  I know that a lot of people want to

make it lower (so what else is new!  The linear Mafia always wants it lower and

lower, down to the point of utter ridiculousness as far as the signal-to-noise

ratio is concerned!).  So I usually  stay away from that EPA, NRC, DOE, linear

Mafia nonsense.  Well, here I go: When did that factor of 50 (2 Orders of

Magnitude!!) happen and how?  And why did some people with a modicum of common

horse sense not raise hell?



Best regards



Fritz
