In addition, I am inferring from the article that the doses were high
enough to cause deterministic effects on the bone marrow of the mice.
They must have been some pretty hefty doses, i.e., comparable to tens
or hundreds of rads to the bone. If this is the case, they're scaring
people unnecessarily.

In regards to the increased risk for leukemia in offspring
study, I find the concept interesting from a number of
perspectives, including how it would factor into evolutionary
biology, but I do have some questions that I hope someone
out there can answer
What was the exposure mechanism ?
Internal eg Pu
External gamma
What was the exposure level ?
What was the increase in risk ?
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
