Use of OSL Dosimeters for Environmental Monitoring

["Algutifan, Elizabeth K. (ELB) " <elb@bechteljacobs.org>]

I'm interested in hearing from anyone who has replaced environmental TLDs
with optically stimulated luminescence-type dosimeters in their
environmental monitoring programs. Have you found that they are (true to
some claims I've heard) superior to TLDs for environmental monitoring? From
a field implementation perspective, what are the advantages/disadvantages of
switching from TLDs? Please respond to me directly unless you feel it would
benefit others on the listserver.
