[ RadSafe ] Idea to improve public perceptions

[Mohan Doss]

While LNT model is trusted, it may have unintended social, 
psychological, cultural, economic, etc. consequences.  Keeping in mind 
the smallest dose of radiation can increase the risk of cancer, people 
may start practicing ALARA, and avoid going to the basement, or gather 
together - but keeping their distance from each other - in one corner of 
the house where the readings happen to be the lowest, or not visit 
friends' homes which have higher readings, or choose schools/churches 
based on radiation levels, or relocate from the mountain states, or stop 
sleeping next to their partners, or frequent stores with lowest 
readings, or avoid going to crowded places, e.g. sporting events, 
concerts, etc, or avoid flying, or demand lower floors in hotels, etc.
