Re: 15 or 25 mrem per year?



Otto,

    Of course I agree with your assessment of the situation --- and I

agree. If this is the case, perhaps someone can explain how such

regulations, that are clearly not in the best public interest, evolve into

public policy. Is something wrong with the system?
