I wear a dosimeter while I'm sitting at my desk.

We take radiation very seriously, but then again, where I work is sort of where it all started (ORNL). "Back in the day" even as an engineer I'd get 400 mR or so a year and think nothing of it. Nowadays we have swung so far the other direction that getting 3 or 4 mR on a job raises eyebrows. I am the lead engineer for remote handling. We spend a lot of time and money making things very safe. We have to replace components that weighs many tons and are reading thousands of R contact, so it is very serious stuff.
Have you ever dealt with a TN-RAM cask? We are using it to ship some extremely high-rad waste. Just curious.
