RE: Nucl Week on French Acad of Med statement on LNT & "Disinform ation"
Ben,
I agree, but was commenting on the strange way we word things. There should
be a provision for "planned special exposures" that could exceed 20 mSv/y
limit.

Greetings:
A 20 mSv/y limit and a 100 mSv over 5 y limit are not necessarily the same
thing. As proposed by ICRP, the limts were 100 mSv over 5 y with no single
year to exceed 50 mSv. This allows for doses above 20 mSv in some years
(nuclear plant maintenance outages, research programs, etc.) to be balanced
out with doses below 20 mSv in other years.
