rather hopeless experimenting in that level.

One would

have to go many, many fold up in the concentrations of
isotopes, and there I thought the effects were essentially
additive.

Do you happen to remember any of the experimental
data?

I know of no experimental data

that is comparable to this situation.

I think you could extrapolate from

Fridell's work if he has not actually done it, and say if

20

you give an animal enough internal emitter so that: he is

pretty close to the borderline, and then you add x-ray on

top of that, you will get more than an additive effect,

because the effect due to one isotope is partially

compensated by other organs in the body.

The

closest would be Fridell's work, where you were concentrat ing
the effects in different organ systems.
