37B-9.

To what extent would the possible health effects that you identify in your April 22, 1983 response to Interroga-tory 37(B)-4(b) change the magnitude of risk you attribute to radiation from operation of the Shearon Harris facility?

37B-10(a).

Do you consider it appropriate to consider the health risks attributable to radiation from the Shearon Harris facility in the context of other health risks to which man is subject?

(b). If your answer to Interrogatory 37-10(a) is negative, explain why.

37B-11(a).

Is there any incremental level of risk which you believe is reasonable for man to assume in order to obtain the benefit of the electricity to be generated by the Shearon Harris facility?

37B-12.

In your April 22, 1983 response to Interrogatory 37(B)-6, you state that where two or more estimates of human health effects are available, the highest estimate should be used.

Explain why you believe that this approach most accu-rately estimates the health effects of radiation.

37B-13.

Identify those portions of the separate state-ments by Radford, Rossi and Webster contained in BEIR-III on which you rely to support Contention 37B.

37B-14(a).
