Re: Does Size Matter?

[Hulltmsr@aol.com]

Considering size/biological effects, I sometimes use the comment during
presentations that you and I are different therefore bio effects will differ.
I should be less affected by radiation since I have more shielding around my
vital organs.  Then again, if we consider neutron radiation, having a greater
mass of hydrogenous material would result in greater energy deposition.....and
maybe greater tissue activation.

Just provoking thoughts,
