[ RadSafe ] Re: YES. we remain our own worse enemy

[Sandy Perle]

Thanks Allen,

I find it very disheartening when I hear fire and police officials 
stating that their members will not enter an area when the dose rate 
exceeds 2 mR/hr. These are the same individuals who enter burning 
buildings, chemical fires, conduct rescue missions in swollen flood 
waters, and they are afraid of a dose rate of 2 mR/hr????

The reality of radiation risk, well established for decades, has 
given way to perceptions of fear mongers. I agree with you when you 
say that there is a serious potential for "over-regulation and 
exaggeration of radiation risks in the public mind kills millions". 

How unfortunate.
