RE: CRPA: On risk of low-dose ionizing radia

["Clement, Christopher" <clementc@aecl.ca>]

With respect to the draft position statement of the CRPA referred to in the
message below (it recommends against quantitative estimation of health risk
below an individual dose of 50 mSv in one year or a lifetime dose of 100
mSv):

the Health Physics society adopted a very similar position in it's
"Radiation Risk in Perspective" position statement in January 1996.  You can
check it out on line at the following URL:
