Re: High Altitiude Exposures

     Interesting point, however,
     
     1. There is no licensee involved (the airlines are not licensed)
     
     2. This is all background radiation, and, there are no limits for the  
        population at large, be it employees or members of the general      
        public, for natural background, only for exposure was licensed      
        material.
     
     3. I'd be more interested in the general public maintaining their      
        exposure received from diagnostic or more importantly from          
        therapeutic procedures.

A while back, a thread ran on exposures to flight attendants and pilots. 
The mean exposures were between 1-3 mSv/year.  Hmm...this sounds like 
occupational exposure.  In the world of DOE, these individuals must be 
monitored for exposure because they exceed 100 mrem/year under typical 
conditions (10CFR835).  
     
Where is the dosimetry?  Where are the exposure records?  Navy Nukes are 
badged...aren't they?
