Group:
There's another report on this same topic, of which I was a co-author.
It discusses the melanoma cases at LLNL in more detail than does the
report Sandy refers to. It too is scheduled for publication soon; I
believe in the same Journal. The principal author is Dan Moore, and his
email address is:runnerdan@llnl.gov
You can write him for additional info if you wish.
