I believe that the EPA says first responders are "allowed" to receive doses

of up to 25 rem [lifesaving] for one incident, not that they should "expect"

them.  

The problem with the above statement from the aspect of the First Responder 

is that even with the plethora of data on the above concept no one really 

understands (among responders that is) how 25 rem will affect them.



Also is that not an NRC standard rather then EPA? I thought EPA and OSHA 

mirrored the NRC Standard in respect to RAD?
