Re: Landauer's Luxel Dosimetry badge

["Bob Westerdale" <Bob.Westerdale@ametek.com>]

Kevin-

        I've been using the Luxel badges ( about 45 employees) for a 

couple years, previously used basic Landauer Film badges.  The Luxels seem 

to show less susceptibility to heat damage  ( eg.  badge accidentally left 

on dashboard in the summer...)   The badge holder clips that hold the 

dosimeter are a bit of a PITA,  while they do seem to hold onto the badge 

fairly well, they do not release easily for exchange.   I've had no 

mechanical failures of the dosimeter packaging,  I'd generally give them a 

thumbs-up.  We build Analytical X-ray systems  and use Co-57 and Fe-55 

sealed sources.

        From a customer service standpoint, though,  Landauer can be a bit 

frustrating....  You can always get a live operator to talk to on the 

phone, but service change orders seem to take forever to execute. They're 

quick to get someone added to the program but it can take months to get 

someone cancelled.   Not a major concern, but it could be done better. 

        Good Luck,

                Bob Westerdale

Hello,



I am curious if anyone involved in the group is using the Luxel Dosimetry

badges from Landauer Inc.?



I work at a Uranium mine in Canada, and while these particular badges have

not been approved for use in Canada (yet), I assume that they will

eventaully be and would like feedback of others who are currently using

these badges as part of their personal dosimetry program.



Thanks for your response!!!
