Ken,

Am I missing something or shouldn't more attention be paid to dose rate?  When
the NCRP tried to find data for or against a dose rate reduction factor, they could
find no effects to compare for exposures where the dose rate was below 8.3 rad per
day.  Considering the biological repair processes, it seems reasonable that dose
rate could be important, perhaps even having a threshold effect.
