[ RadSafe ] Radiation Doses to Luggage

[Flanigan, Floyd]

Elsa,
I ran some DRDs through the x-ray here at Prairie Island a few weeks back and they averaged 1.5mr each. This was for approximately 100 dosimeters.

Does anyone know of recent studies reporting the range of radiation doses
that a piece of checked luggage might receive per one pass through security
screening at an airport?  It would be great to find a study that included
info worldwide, but leads on more limited studies are welcome too.

 

Thanks,
