1. Perception is reality; just deal with it. This
isn't going to change. The health physics profession has gone to great
lengths to establish radiation as a uniquely dangerous hazard, which, by the
way, requires lots of health physicists to protect the public. We wrote
the regulations, through groups such as the NCRP and ICRP. It's too late
to say, "just kidding." I'm sure the "no serious consequences"
philosophy is what Brookhaven management invoked to delay installing
monitoring wells for the HFBR. Now, it's the former HFBR.
