RE: NIRS anti-nuclear activity summer 2000

["Grimm, Lawrence" <LGrimm@ADMIN.UCLA.EDU>]

Zach Clayton or any other Radsafer:

Out of curiosity, can you point to a reg that prohibits mislabeling?  I ran
into the problem with anti's doing it in Washington State when I was a
regulator there (late 1970's). We went to the State's Attorney General, and
were advised that there was nothing that prohibited mislabeling.  The regs
clearly stated when a posting was required, but nothing about mislabeling.
Has a regulation been promulgated since then?

Years later, as the RSO at a university, I was cited by the Agreement State
for "superfluous" signs.  I beat the citation based on the above rationale.
I do not condone the misuse of a warning sign, but as far as I can tell,
there is no regulation prohibiting the misuse.
