John:

         Thank you for posting these links.  I was looking for descriptions 
of day-to-day activity on the ALARA front, such as how industry, hospitals, 
and commercial users cope with regulators.  I am sure accounts of the 
public perception of regulators, regulations, and rad users would also be 
welcome to all.
