ALARA?

["Wesley M. Dunn" <WDUNN@brc1.tdh.state.tx.us>]

For the historians out there...

One of our staff received a call about ALARA.  The questions are:

When was it first postulated?
What was it based on?

Is there a summary article anyplace that we could forward on?

Thanks much for any help,

Wes
