We\'re so bogged down it\'s hard to get anything done at all.
Of course, it\'s all for our own and the public\'s safety. You can\'t

It\'s almost funny. I *know* we all get a daily dose of ~10uSv, just
from the ordinary environment, but the extra few hundred nSv I
occasionally get from working on slightly radioactive stuff seems
to justify lots of extra rules, lots of paperwork, regular
inspections, special labs and protective gear. Granted, those are
sometimes necessary, but sheesh, a bit of common sense would be
welcome. A few uSv extra on occasion aren\'t going to make a
difference!

Don\'t turn to the French for nuclear. They can\'t seem to build a
nuke for less than $20 billion these days and it will be a decade
late in commissioning. Their nuclear projects are mostly
disasters.
