Isn't that what the Russians did at Chernobyl? I guess they wanted to win public trust.

Hey guys, his idea has merit. I would hesitate somewhat, but could see the
benefit (preventing undo panic and mental stress) of not telling someone
that they were given a dose below 1 Rem, if the situation warranted it. My
wife informed me today that a doctor told her after getting a frontal and
side x-rays that the radiation was insignificant. Put that in context with
trying to explain to 500 highly agitated persons that the contamination they
received down wind during a dirty bomb explosion was insignificant, even
though it would be probably less than the x-ray may wife had. Its a no win
situation.
