Gee, I must be getting old ... I remember the first time I saw
"pervert" as an abbreviation for person-sievert ... I think it was
in a Geoff Eichholz essay on the back page of Nuclear News
... many, many moons ago. Ah, what pleasant memories ...

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.
