6. Annual occupational limits are 5r - unless reactor standards are ...
different than other occupational standards (I don't think they are). That would be @ 1666 hrs to attain, if I'm remembering this correctly. At the 18mr mark, @ 277 hrs.

The workers are much closer than the 30 to 60 kilometers that these measurement were taken at though - it's still dangerous for them. Their courage is simply amazing, & humbling to witness. I hope that this continues to improve, & they are able to limit the exposures these people are working in - the effects are cumulative & more striking when they are absorbed in a small time frame.
