Number of chromosome repairs

[Robert Loesch <loesch@list.eh.doe.gov>]

Dear Radsafers:

A staff member has asked the following question:

What is the average number of chromosome repairs per day?

I guess around 100K, but would appreciate something a bit
more scientifically concrete.

Thanks in advance.

Bob
