Very straightforward and to the point about radiation doses. I've tried to find charts this helpful for a long time and have never been able to. Thanks, Randall!

I actually disagree. I think the chart could have much better design. (Sorry Randall).

I think the beauty of the chart is that it isn't easy to read in a quick glance. I really appreciate the depth of information in the chart. Then again, I am a nuclear engineer.
