Hi Tim,
I think that you are reading the table wrong. The neutron and Li9
backgrounds go down by a factor of 5 when one goes from 450 mwe to 900.
Also, the analysis used in the answer to question 1 is meant to be a
simple analysis, not our actual or proposed analysis. In my original
text, I made it clear that this was something that we likely could not
do worse than (I also said it a bit more elegantly there).
