Jerry,

I guess my only comment is what if you are wrong?  What if 10 rem/y

(0.1Sv/a) has an adverse affect on health?  The studies I have seen or heard

about report no affect below 5 rem/y (50 mSv/a) for cohort studies of

radiation workers.  What about studies of the general population?  While the

study of specific populations may give us some clues about long term

radiation effects, do they apply to all populations?



	No.  Only to human populations.
