Staying within the same type dosimeter, i.e., monthly to quarterly 
film, or monthly to quarterly TLD, a facility should see 
approximately a 40 to 45% overall cost reduction. This is obviously 
dependent on the number of dosimeters, etc. The cost per dosimeter 
will increase, but again, since there re less frequencies, the 
savings are there .. as in my example.
