Re: Decay Storage Requirements - opinion

[slaback@micf.nist.gov]

There are a number of 'guidances' and existing
rules, e.g., 49CFR's 2 nCi/g number, which have
the patina of being old and established but which,
if one looked too closely (or in some cases like
the 10 halflife rules looked at even cadually)
real question could be raised.  These continue
to exist because the regulatory system basically
is not now capable of establishing rational criteria
for issues that relate to release and exemption from
regulation. [my cynical alterego just poped up]

A little risk adds spice to life.
