Re: ALARA Cost/Benefit



If completing the job made the difference in keeping a plant on line, that put 
quite a few $$ into the numerator, which justified some person sieverts (or 
"perverts" if you prefer) in the denominator.

Here's to a risk free world, and other fantasies. 





When I worked at FPL we used $10K/manrem. However with cost cutting 
and economics becoming more of a concern than dose, jobs were done or 
not done solely based on keeping the units running. It didn't matter 
what dose the individual or the cummulative dose was going to be. If 
the units could stay online, dose was given at will..
