  1. ALARA is not intended to control high dose levels. That's what dose limits are supposed to do
  2. IMO, anything <5.0 rem/yr  is not worth worrying about.

If you have to observe a limit for members of the public of  1 mSv/y you  h a v e  to worry for 50 mSv/y, whether you agree or not. If you have a speed limit of 90 km/h and you believe that it would be adequate to drive 150 you still are not allowed to exceed the 60. Rather bad comparison, because you seem to advocate a 50 fold excess, which would correspond to 4 500 km/h......

Furthermore my critic: Your answer contained 7 (seven!) lines, but your whole message contained 4 (four!) previous messages, filling more than three pages. This critic is not restricted to you, but seems to have become a habit. No wonder, that space on the computer gets short.
