AW: [ RadSafe ] TLD Readings in Checked Luggage

[Rainer.Facius at dlr.de]

Linda:

Unless you remove your TLD chips after passing the (hand-) luggage check and read them out before take-off of your plane, the dose received during the flight (several micro-Sv) may well dwarf the dose from the check (approx. 1 - 2 micro-Sv).

Hi All,

Has anyone had any experience with the TLD doses to expect if a TLD is placed in checked luggage? If so, please give me a call or send me an e-mail with the dose received and the estimated energies.

Thanks,

Linda
