Re[2]: Wear of Control Badge (Re: Extremity Dosimetry)

     Sorry..I was misinformed.  The lab where our badges are sent to figure 
     in the algorythm adding the SDA to the finger ring when it is not 
     being worn.  Thanks for your reply, it instigated a bit of research on 
     my part.

I'm suprised that your regulators allow this. The extremities are 
being exposed both when the ring is on the finger and when it is 
on the body, so how can you justify subtracting the body dose?
