RE: another intentional misuse
None of the reasons given comparing a power reactor license to a
university research facility go to attacking the question at hand.
The issue is individuals intentionally contaminating themselves and
others. If they are intentional, there is absolutely nothing anyone
can do to stop these ridiculous acts, other than assigning a large
staff to ensure that all work is performed within their personal
observation and presence at all times. The reason for a large staff
is to prevent collusion between the monitored and the monitoree.
This too would be even more ludicrous.
An interesting statistic is that in every case, there was a foreign
national involved. In some of the cases there was a "romantic"
overtone. In another, self-inflicted (most recent). So, what does one
do? No foreign students? Ludicrous. Baby-sitting police force?
Ludicrous. Stop research? Ludicrous. Anyone think of requiring
psychological testing (MMPI) as they do in power reactors?.
Perhaps ludicrous as well, but worth consideration.
