Jerry, not surprised. Perhaps just not ready to increase the public dose limit 10 fold, not
yet anyway. I'm more astonished that some of us may actually think that 5 rem/yr is an
acceptable public dose limit.
As far as hormesis and "supplying supplementary radiation to those living in
radiation deficient areas", I've had a dialogue with John Cameron on this, and, I do
agree with his position.
