Meh... We are awash in radiation every day of our lives from both terrestrial and cosmic sources. Even at 2 - 3 times above background, probably not enough there to do much harm. The "acceptable levels" are extremely safe-sided. Besides, if radiation were at dangerous levels, it would kill the bacteria mentioned toward the end of the article. I would be much more concerned with the bacterial contamination.

There you go Col. "Officials" is always a cop out. There is an individual who is responsible for understanding the requirements and seeing that they are satisfied. One person with direct responsibility and others with ultimate responsibility. I, and hundreds of thousands of other people who were stationed at Camp LeJeune suffer from maladies because some individuals, not "officials" decided the water contamination that existed for 30 years was not worthy of their concern.

Absolutely. I don't know who that is but I suspect someone at CE or the hospital does
