radiation dose, when compared to
other occupational risks, is
considered to be within the normal
range of risk tolerance by national
and international scientific groups
who have studied these issues.
Clearly though, the acceptance of
risk is a personal matter that each
individual must make for themselves
and is best made with accurate
information.

uncontrolled exposure to radiation and
from ingestion, inhalation, or absorption
of radioactive material. These controls
include, but are not limited to, a unique
system of identifying radioactive
materials using certain colors and/or
symbols and radiological postings,
implementation of controls to maintain
radiation exposures As Low As
Reasonably Achievable (ALARA), and
training of workers on radiation safety
and emergency response.
