Re: Checked Baggage X-Ray Exposures

[andrew neil <oilman2001@YAHOO.COM>]

We had an Engineer fly in and out of New York with his

Whole Body OSL badge in his checked baggage.  His

quarterly badge reading came back with 177 millirem. 

The radiation quality was listed as PL (less than 100

keV). This was the only job he had been to during the

quarter and a typical per job reading is normally

anywhere between Minimum and 10 millirem and is listed

as P (greater than 100 keV).
