RE: Does limits to the public
Your statement seems to confirm my reading of NCRP 116: since we don't want
to use TLDs (or Luxel) to show that Joe Public can't get more than 1 mSv
from combined sources, then it would seem that we are left with the 0.25 mSv
limit.
As I said, I sincerely want to get a handle on this, so any help is
appreciated.
