	--Can you please be specific about what you find objectionable

about my work? Saying it is "ecologic" is name-calling, not being

specific. My conclusion is that the linear-no threshold theory fails,

grossly exaggerating the risk of low level radiation -- I would call that

an assessment of lung cancer risk, although it is not a direct

quantitative determination of what those risks are.
