Re: Management of highly radioactive human cadavers

What happened to the concept of dose limits to individual members of the 
public?  My copy of 10 CFR 20 says that I have to limit exposure to these 
individuals to 100 millirem per year TEDE.  

And what happened to the Clean Air Act - 10 millirem per person per year 
limit from effluents.

Also note that I-131 is a medium energy beta emitter, which small 
quantities in contact with the skin can cause significant exposure 
(not to mention thyroid burdens from uptakes).

These are my thoughts.  If they are wrong
I accidentally pressed the send instead of
