    Well all of us absorb a lethal dose of radiation (if taken we were exposed to it all at once) over the course of each and every year.
    Don't worry too much about it.

    Good plan. But the average annual dose is no where near deadly even if you took it all in a minute. Normal exposure over a year, absent medical and dental x-rays, is less than a dental x-ray alone.

    NRC says 620 milirem for the average person per year at sea level.
    5,000 a year is the limit. All at once probably really not good.
    I think some where along the line I got to thinking the average dose was 10x what it normally is, my bad.

    If it is not so bad why do those taking the Xray wear a shield ?
    Fact ,we are being constantly dosed with radiation .

    The techies wear or go behind shields because they are exposed on EVERY shot taken, not like the patient that gets one or two shots a year. Cumulative dose matters. Obviously.

    And yes, cosmic rays hit us, each and every one, all the time. Obviously, even if in a lead mine.

    I am glad to own and use my own geiger counter. but it is not my own exposure that bothers me, but that of the little ones whom are more susceptible to radiation in their developing bodies . Apparently along the coast here is is an issue.

    "G liberty voice" reports that fish are still showing up radioactive due to Fukushima .
