This was a right on answer. One reason for my question is that I spoke with 
a regulator some time ago and he was clearly against any classification like 
"occupational exposure". (I am not saying that it should be regulated - it 
was more a question of the logic - and that the general public probably 
don't know much about it - I agree with your next comment below). Radon in 
mines is not a licensed source I suppose? (or?)
