[ RadSafe ] GM vs ion chamber for dose measurement

[Sandy Perle]

Joel,

I am in 100% agreement with you and your comments. I assume the "employer"
has their reasons for not simply utilizing an ion chamber (you can reply
privately).

Regards,

Sandy

Yes, I know this isn't Friday, but I have a philosophical question for
the group.

So, in conclusion: Am I wrong to be questioning what's going on here? Is
the use of GM's for quantitative/qualitative measurement of gamma/x-ray
dose now an accepted protocol?  

Thanks (ahead of time) for your thoughts.
