This is from a long-ago email, and I apologize for that, but I have to comment on this statement:  "NRC cannot state that one cannot legitimately "predict" deaths by applying LNT to large numbers of people"  I wonder if you'd mind asking Commissioner Diaz if the NRC can state that one CAN legitimately "predict" real deaths by the same method.  I mean if they can't say that, then it seems to me you have to say one can't.
