If this is the case, then petition the NRC to revise the public dose limit to allow such a 

dose. You can petition to change Part 20 to raise the standard pubic dose limit up 

from the 0.100 rem and the Part 35 dose of 0.500 rem. That is the way to address 

this, not making concessions for one group or another. If the limit is too low, then 

petition to revise it.
