The peanut butter analogy to low-dose radiation risk is 
really quite good.  The peanut butter risk is allergic 
reaction.  The reaction is EXTREMELY rare but may be very 
serious.  I believe we say the same about risk of 
radiation-induced cancer.
The analogy to radon risk is not nearly so good.  Is anyone 
aware of an established risk of radon at or near the EPA 
action level?
