Over one year the US citizens are considered 2.5 times “tougher” than the Germans? And over the lifetime even 5.9 times tougher? An even more intricate difference becomes visible when one computes dose rate per hour for yearly, lifelong and for each country: the German limit sinks twofold, while the US limit increases ap­prox. 20%? Say what, the Germans become feebler as they age and need to be more protected, while the Americans grow even sturdier and take the extra? This indicates a fundamentally different view between the two countries on how radiation effects health. I can’t imagine that this has anything to do with Science. It is a legal thing. Everything seems possible when facts don’t matter! [/quote]    Insert an Image File Check here to include your profile signature.
