Worse than that, Barbara,

Whoever wrote that must not have had high school science, but is "educating"

the public.

We all are "exposed" continually, for which we should thank our Luckey

stars (hormesis).

The dose of ionizing radiation there was undoubtedly much less than if the nuclear worker had chosen to have whole body MRI (1-10 cGy), now promoted at Harvard for questionable screening value. This discrimination benefits only the metastasizing bureaucracy..

Is there any dose estimate?  Or, is this just a huff-puff and scare 'em piece?  Workers all over the United States are "exposed to radiation during...routine operationp[s]."  Where's the news?
