Exposure from flight

["Jim Darrough" <darrough@engr.orst.edu>]

Hello!



	I finally read the TLD chips I had along for my trip from Eugene, OR to

Washington, D.C. and back. Results were that I received 12mR total dose, and

so did the things in my checked baggage. This included the entire time I was

at training in Virginia where various sources were used as I kept the TLD's

on my person (except of course for the ones in my suitcase).



	Interesting to note is that the ones on my person went through airport

security X-ray devices four times.
