Thank you, Chuck.

I wonder about the legitimacy of the so-called safety standard itself.  Is it like other safety standards about other substances of the past which have been found to be too conservative?  In addition, what may be safe for the average members (within 1 standard deviation of the mean) of the population, might not be safe for those that are more susceptible than the average members.

  The Environmental Protection Agency said a March 25 sample of milk produced in the Spokane, Wash., area contained a 0.8 pico curies per literlevel of iodine-131, which it said was less than one five-thousandth of the safety safety guideline set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. . . . . An EPA spokesman said that while the agency isn't certain that the iodine-131 found in the sampled milk came from Fukushima, its discovery is "consistent with" what the agency knows has been released so far from the damaged nuclear reactors there.

  Naw, it ain't coming to Idaho, Andreas, just Spokane.  Chuck Kovis
