Dosimetry Cost

["USHINO, TOSH" <ushinot@songs.sce.com>]

     RADSAFErs,
     
     I am trying to develop a realistic comparison between cost for offsite 
     vendor provided dosimetry service versus cost for continuing our 
     onsite TLD dosimetry program.
     
     If you are using vendor provided dosimeters, can you provide your 
     total cost per badge (vendor cost plus onsite administrative and other 
     costs)?  It would also be nice to have information on what kind of 
     facility you are at, how many badges you issue per monitoring period 
     (month/quarter), the type of dosimeters you use, and any special 
     services or requirements and their costs.
     
     If you have your own onsite dosimetry laboratoy, I would also be 
     interested in your cost analysis.
     
     Please reply either via RADSAFE or send private message to me directly 
     and please provide your email address and/or phone number.
     
     Thank you.
