In a messageor any communication, you should at least give the whole
terminology a first time and then use the abreviation. Brevity is good,
brevity and clarity is better.

I disagree....the whole idea here is brevity.  Short, sweet, and to the
point. Get a glossary of health physics and nuclear engineering terms.
