Considering that the regulatory limit for a "declared pregnant 

female" is 0.5 rem/gestation period, I wouldn't consider this dose or 

any other dose within regulatory limits, to be determined to be 

anything other than insignificant.



Prior to January 1994, when the revised Part 20 was implemented, an 

occupational exposed worker could, with a completed NRC Form 4, be 

exposed to up to 12 rem/qtr. Various studies of nuclear power workers 

have always resulted in demonstrating that these workers in fact, had 

less injuries, illness and deaths, than other population groups/



While I understand your concerns, the reality is, I'd be more 

concerned about getting up each morning, stepping into a shower, 

eating the processed foods we eat, driving to work,and minimizing 

daily stress, compared to all of the radiation exposure that once 

could conceivable be exposed to in these various hypothetical 

scenarios that we constantly see in the media.
