>From a practical (health and safety) standpoint, what difference would it

make whether a 15 or 25 mrem/yr limit is applied? Just curious------



-------------------------------------

>From a practical point of view I agree with your implied opinion, that it

does not make a difference.

Such practical points of view cannot be applied in legislation (!), which is

based on LNT and derived risks - whether you like it or not (I know you

don't like it...). So 25 mrem/year would be almost twice the risk of 15

mrem/year. That's the difference.



Best regards,



Franz
