Fw: Limited radiation exposure may actually benefit health:NCRP pub

["Howard Long" <hflong@pacbell.net>]

Radsci list members, please post comment on Gary's question to the radsafe

list, below.

I have little knowledge of the NCRP position and I disclose a long-learned

bias favoring hormesis. John seems to be a regulator, so may have bias

favoring simple LNT, which does not require a calculation of predicted

benefit to deduct from predicted harm to determine risk.
