[ RadSafe ] Why some divers want to work in nuclear reactors; intersting story Do they work under simulated conditions?

[Sandy Perle]

Dear Dr. Parthasanathy,

I am familiar with many US facilities where the divers do wear direct reading electronic 
dosimeters that are transmiting data to a central system that is monitored by health physics, 
along with voice communication in order to provide effective communication and 
information to and from the divers. This type of work as well as others often involves mock-
up training i order to reduce the overall expected dose for the individual as well as 
cumulative dose.

Regards,

Sandy
