QuadCam Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 As someone that works in the "Industry," I can't think of anything that would get me over there other that professional curiosity. Granted, it has been 25 years, most of the isotopes have decayed to a far lower level (Cesium-137 still has a 31 year half-life), but still... The nukes in the U.S. have a program called ALARA - As Low As Reasonably Achievable. In essence, don't concentrate on your dose limit, whatever it may be, just try to get the least exposure possible. That said, why would you go to an area where you knowingly are going to receive an unnecessary dose of radiation? :fool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuadCam Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 QC, are you at CY? Company I work for performed LCR/RVAIR at Trojan, RSNGS and SONGS 1 and recently did RH's at ST and PV. I used to visit CY from time to time; they're just "down the road" from corporate. Alas, CY is simply a grassy field now with a storage pad of cylindrical containers waiting for Yucca Mountain to open. We make the Whole Body Counters, the gamma specs used in Chemistry, and the portals where you exit the RCA. (see www.canberra.com for a look) Chances are, had you worked the east coast, our paths would have crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son of GT Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 This makes me wonder how the famlies of the conscript solders that died a horrible death from radition poisoning from putting the fires out and sealing the damaged reactor with concrete feel about this proposed "tourist attraction". Oh wait, I just remembered that it's Russia that were talking about. That goverment could care less about what their people think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
