Some people worry about cellphones, but they fly in aircraft <The limit of additional exposure set by the commission for people living near nuclear reactors is 100 millirem per year. To put this in perspective, passengers get 3 millirem of cosmic radiation on a flight from New York to Los Angeles. > Cellphones don't emit any rems. They also have granite benches. I thought it was just a cunning way of storing food = just place the food on it, with a cover over it. Leave it for a while and the radiation kills all the bacteria etc and the food can then be stored for a long time. By keeping fruit right there on the counter-top, it is constantly irradiated so lasts much longer, though the water still evaporates and it dries. But dried fruit is good as a back-up for a rainy day. Mqurice
