Formal NVLAP statement on extended wear periods for film dosimetry



I recently posted a question asking for information on which states 
categorically did not permit film to be worn for periods that exceed 
1 month. Only NY City requires no more than a monthly wear period, by 
regulation. The state of IL doesn't permit, but not by regulation. 
Many state regulators wrote me privately stating that they permitted 
it, as long as NVLAP stated the appropriateness thorough assessment.

I now have a formal statement from NVLAP regarding extended wear 
periods, not only for film but for TLDs as well, and will be happy to 
share it with anyone who writes to me "PRIVATELY". I would have 
posted the statement to Radsafe directly, but in light of recent 
dialogue on Radsafe, I will only send it to private e-mail addresses.
