[ RadSafe ] Annual dose from Nature/Background/Man-made sources

[Sandy Perle]

Hi Jim,

Of course the natural background "is" what is also measured on the dosimeter
and then subtracted out, to hopefully result in the actual occupational
exposure! :)  The background is typically higher than the typical
occupational exposures. What can one say!

>>> What's all this?  As HPs should know, "background" came from defining
'the worker dose that's not measured on your film badge!' :-)  (It's just
that zt the time the idiocy of this was not so obvious and was
'rationalized' and justified.)

"Natural background" is still "natural background."<<<

Regards,

Sandy
