"Radiation Week" would enable broader participation, including supporting the
idea that radiation use has positive contributions while stressing the
importance and role of radiation safety and the health physics profession
(like the salvation of numerous police departments by programs that links them 
to positive service to the community, not only as associated with attacking
criminal activity, which was found to make people feel that any interaction
with the police was one of distrust and suspicion  :-)
