ALARA Cost/Benefit -Reply

[DAVID HARRISON <DHARRISON@doe.lanl.gov>]

I've seen $1000 per person-rem ($10 per pervert), I've seen $10,000 per
person-rem.  I've also seen in excess of $1 M per life saved from a
remediatiion project...Take yer pick.  I believe the $1K is at Rocky Flats
and the $10K is at Los Alamos.

I am looking for some suggested figures to use in an ALARA cost/benefit
analysis in terms of $ expended per Rem (or Sievert) saved.  Any
thoughts on this would be appreciated.

A response to me directly or on RADSAFE would be fine.

Thanks.
