Re: NRC PROPOSES $6,000 FINE AGAINST ST. JOSEPH MERCY HOSPITAL INMICHIGANFOR OVEREXPOSURE TO A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC
Even though I do not agree with every regulation I have to follow, I always approach
regulatory compliance with the attitude that the regulators are making their best,
good faith efforts to protect the public, and that I have a legal and moral obligation
to obey the regulatory letter and spirit. I consider anything else to be
unprofessional and, in most cases, counterproductive.
As much as I am concerned, I have to admit, however, that some of these rants offer a
measure of comic relief. I am especially amused when someone can claim to perform a
better dose estimate than what's reported, without having taken any measurements or
seen any of the underlying data. I'll be the first to admit that I do not have such
abilities.
The opinions expressed are strictly mine.
It's not about dose, it's about trust.
Curies forever.
