RE: TMI and Mr. Cohen

A metallic taste in the mouth is a very common stated symptom of lots of

things. When Hanford's historical doses were being calculated in the 1990s

and the public testified, it was a very common symptom, even when no

releases were actually occurring. (The most significant airborne releases

were iodine 131 and noble gases, with a smattering of other isotopes in

relatively small concentrations). I've heard its a very common taste, even

in the absence of any environmental contaminants.

I have to wonder, is Mr. Cohen just so much smarter than everyone else?  I

suppose that the study by the University of Pittsburgh is also as flawed as

the information from the NRC.
