Nobodyterms them 'safe,' just 'allowable' and the perception is 'safe.' Time waswhen we all knew that any amount of radiation was problematic. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
This is quite true. There is no safe dosage of radiation. It is cumulative and any exposure to man-made sources just adds to the background radiation and increases cell mutations. Even medical people do not understand this, and they think X-rays are "safe". It will take nature many generations to repair the damage done by modern misuse or X-rays and other forms of radiation exposure.
