Re: cosmic rays

[JGinniver@AOL.COM]

The following links might help those who wish to understand a little more of 

the detail of this subject.



The United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation - 

I think that's what it means (UNSCEAR) gave their latest views on Cosmic 

Radiation and it effects in its 2000 report.



Annexe A (Dose Assessment Methodologies) summarises the current views on 

estimating doses from cosmic radiation in paragraphs 46 - 51.  It can be 

found at the following URL - http://www.unscear.org/pdffiles/annexa.pdf





Annexe B (Exposures from Natural Radiation Sources) summarises the current 

dose estimates to individuals from exposure to cosmic radiation in paragraphs 

7 - 38.  Annexe B can be found at the following URL-  

http://www.unscear.org/pdffiles/annexb.pdf



I'm not sure how large each of the files will be, but from memory they took 

quite a while for my home PC to download.



Warmest regards
