[ RadSafe ] Dosimetry Survey

[Cindy Bloom]

You could still monitor individuals annually who don't require monitoring 
under the regulations or some license condition.  You'd just have some 
explaining to do if the annual result exceeded a quarterly limit, but given 
that their exposure is not great enough to require monitoring, this doesn't 
appear to be a legitimate concern.
