a question is begged:  if the dosimetry is supplied solely to  
 supply "data" in the event of future lawsuits, aren't you really 
supplying a future litigator ammunition by documenting exposures that 
you could never "prove" to be spurious or insignificant (imagine a 
sternglassian "expert" witness testifying that the six dosimetry reports 
over a 10 yr. period that recorded 20 mrem caused the induction of cancer 
20 yrs later)? 
it seems to me that to badge or not to badge when monitoring is not 
required by regulations is a can of snakes no matter which approach is 
used.
 
and since disclaimers are in vogue, i claim to speak for no one but 
me and sometimes i'm not even sure if i can claim that.
