[ RadSafe ] Re: Radiation deficiency remediation

[Jay Caplan]

Dr. Cohen,
Please explain how the low ev beta could be an advantage. And since it is
just supposition that the water supply might  ever be tritiated, just how
much taken internally, say monthly, would generate the 3 rem/yr you suggest?
I am trying to contrast this tritium approach practically with the 1 rem
torsal x-ray quarterly that several of us are beginning next week.
Thanks
Jay Caplan
