Re:

What did you have in mind?  Maybe I'm also missing something.

Will lives be endangered if blood irradiations have to be postponed until power
is restored?

If not, then they can wait.

If so, then this should get a higher priority for available generator load, or
they should find the money for another generator  (My wild guess is that the
coffee machines and copy machines are provided for.), instead of asking you to
cut corners on safety.

The opinions expressed are strictly mine.
It's not about dose, it's about trust.
