John,
My
answer is "I don't believe we should set radiation safety requirements for an
unknown "most sensitive person" any more than I believe teachers should adjust
their instructional methods to focus on the dumbest student".
I'm not aware of any other safety-related activity where limits are set to
ensure the most sensitive person is not affected. I also do not
believe it is economically practical or reasonable to attempt to protect
everyone from everything.
