One more thought. If the above statement was proven to be absolutely correct, then 

we could save even more; i.e., no need for a rad safety group, no need to expend 

huge sums of $$ on occupational dose reports, no need for surveys, no need for 

commercial outfits to provide signs, tape and other supplies, no need for survey 

meters and other instrumentation, no need for a cal lab, no need for rad safety 

training, no need for rad protection consulting, no need for regulatory oversight, no 

need for personnel monitoring, no need for ... RADSAFE!!
