Re: Powernet: ILLINOIS RADIOGRAPHER RECEIVED 15 SIEVERT (1,500 REM) TO HIS LO...

I agree - have you tried to buy a just plain chirper lately??? 

Everything is an EPD and much more expensive (and complicated) than a

simple chirper needs to be.



They have gotten carried away - they don't need to be exposure or energy

linear - they just need to be sensitive, robust, non-paralyzable and

cheap.  The cheaper they are - the more they will be bought - and used.



Funny how the impression is that the general public is overly frightened

of radiation - but from the accident reports it would seem that

radiographers just don't care!  Hard to align those two notions.
