Don,

If I am not mistaken, the dose results reported on the TLDs are the 
gross readings, and not net. Therefore, the dose reported is 
essentially natural background, except in some cases where the 
net dose may be on the order of a mrem or so. Am I correct? It's 
been awhile since I was involved in this activity.
