[ RadSafe ] TLD Readings in Checked Luggage

[Marvin Turkanis]

We compared the doses reported on personnel TLDs with "control"l TLD's that 
were only in checked luggage and on-the-job pocket dosimeter readings for a 
year. Most exposures "due to x-rayed" luggage were in the 35 to 60 mr per 
flight, but several were in the 125 to 140 mr range.

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
