[ RadSafe ] risk and safety"

[dckosloff at firstenergycorp.com]

Jerry,

Although not good, a generally acceptable definition of safety is: "What I
usually do or what I really want to do is safe, or at least not too
dangerous."

Although residents of graveyards have zero risk; visiting a graveyard has
some risk.  I know of two specific cases where children visiting a
graveyard have been crushed to death  under gravestones.  About a year ago
I saw a big warning sign on the fence of a graveyard in the Cleveland, OH
area.

To many, if not most, safety means zero risk.
Only those who reside in  graveyards experience zero risk.
Nothing can harm them.
If anyone has a good, generally acceptable, definition of adequate safety
for
living people, I would like to know what it is.
