Re: $$$ per Man-rem

[Kerembaev@cs.com]

I can see Franz's point.
I cannot give you a reference but it was a common knowledge among FSU Nuclear 
Power Plant community that 1 rem cost $1000 (not DM nor Fr nor Pounds). 
In the US 1 rem - $2000-?
It does make sense, knowing the fact, that (in 80's) amount of the total 
national economical product in FSU was twice less than of the US. I cannot 
give a reference on FSU economical data either, because after the collapse, 
almost all those references, probably had being burned or used for the other 
purposes.
Economy still defines the cost. Behind the iron curtain, we had lived with 
the illusion that regulators are defining the cost..... Well, you know the 
rest....

Respectfully,

 This is new to me.  Could you give me references and the dollar values that
 demonstrate scientists, regulators or others use different values for
 $/person-Sv in developing countries and in highly technologized countries?
