X-Message-Number: 32124 From: Date: Sun, 1 Nov 2009 12:21:31 EST Subject: Re: Radiation Many uranium miners got large doses of radiation, above what anyone thinks is a threshold, and died early. To be clear, *enough* radiation will kill you in a few weeks by killing rapidly multiplying cells, and a bit less increases your chances of cancer. The question is, does a hundredth as much slightly increase your chances of cancer or is there a threshold. Alan In a message dated 11/1/2009 3:00:59 A.M.
