=======================

Getting Mallinckrodt's attention
THE pattern of radiation exposure of workers at Mallinckrodt Inc.'s nuclear 
medical products plant raises an immediate question: Has the company just 
been careless or did executives put business before worker safety? 

Either way, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission must see to it that safety 
violations extending back five years come to a stop.
