Re: radiography - deja vu all over again



(1) I'm glad that someone thinks the NRC takes radiography seriously.  What  have I overlooked?

(2) I don't "want to get irate" over anything.  I just believe that when there is a clear trend of recurring events, business as usual isn't good enough.

The opinions expressed are strictly mine.

I actually do think they take it seriously.  If you want to get irate over some serious accidents, not just simple violations, then look to the x-ray overexposure and misadministration events, because that's where you will generally find actual life and health threatening events.  Although, because we do not have a federal program, like the NRC, tracking and trending these events, they may be hard to identify.
