RE: Rad Worker Layoff??
Back in the day,
Master Chief emerged from the Reactor Refueling Access- first day back from
an extended shore leave. Chief's wife had had a diagnostic procedure. He
managed to set off all the eberlines at embarrassing locations. Reaction
initially was a potential Karen Silkwood decon, but cooler heads prevailed
-- did not even tell Admiral Rickover. But we had some sea story. Time to
get back to reality. Mailrooms are all agitated. Miss the days with
Controlled Surface Contamination Areas and real time instrumentation and the
ability to do whole body counts quickly. Sure was comforting to assure
workers quickily and keep contamination where it belonged. Take care.

Tom,
In commercial nuclear plants, a worker who had a therapeutic (or even a
diagnostic
procedure) generally would be re-assigned to non-radiological area. In my
opinion, if
an employer laid off a worker due to a medical procedure, that employer
would be
open to litigation for the layoff. Kind of heartless as well.
