Dear colleagues
I would like to make some observations in the Draft Report « Early and late effects of radiation in normal tissues and organs: threshold doses for tissue reactions and other non-cancer effects of radiation in a radiation protection context »
1) The unit used is Gy, mGy or cGy. I think it is better to use all the time Gy only
2) in paragraph 1.3.1There is no mention to Autophagy, necrosis and mitotic catastrophe as a mechanism likely to cause cellullar death
3) Line 1675 reference is UNSCEAR 2008. it is not mentioned in the references, I think that the reference is UNSCEAR 2006 ?
4) Fig 2.3 is too small
5) Line 9374 Is USNCEAR 2006 not 2009
I hope that this small contribution will be useful.
Thanks you in advance
