[ RadSafe ] Re: Radiation deficiency remediation

[jjcohen]

The biological half-life would not be a consideration because the dose would
not
be a single dose, but would be continual (i.e. all water intake would be
tritiated).
Therefore, an equillbrium between intake and excretion levels would soon be
reached and maintained.
Also, the low mev beta could actually be an advantage
