[ RadSafe ] Re: Understanding negligible dose

[dckosloff at firstenergycorp.com]

Mr. Cohen,

The NRC understood BRC and pushed the issue until Congress ordered them to
stop.  There were even clear and well-written NRC booklets available for
members of the public.  Any functionally literate, unbiased person who read
the booklet would not have oppessed BRC.

Even some (mostly) honest  congressmen understood the issue.  That is why
they initially passed a law that required the NRC to push implementation of
the BRC regulations.   Then the grotesquely dishonest "public interest"
groups, the fraudulent press and some of the dishonest congressmen took
public control of the issue and shoved it up the NRC's opening that
Congressmen and "news" story tellers generally can't tell from a hole in
the ground.

The industry left the NRC writhing on the ground while "America's only
criminal class" (Mark Twain) kicked them mercilessly.   That is
understandable, since any half-way intelligent business operator knows that
it never pays to get between a regulatory agency and a hypocritical pack of
elected public officials.

Allen et al,
    Perhaps you may recall the BRC (below regulatory concern) deliberations
in the 1990,s.
My question is this: If we can't get the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and
the U.S. Congress
to understand  negligible radiation exposures, how can we give such
understanding to
the general public ????      Jerry
