Re: Multiple Dosimetry - ANSI N13.41 vs. Reg guide 8.34

[Lester.Slaback@nist.gov]

There is not much interpretation involved.
10CFR20.1201 states that the assigned deep-dose and
shallow-dose shall be based on the highest exposed
portion of the body.  Hence no averaging or wieghted
summing is allowed.

If there are other words from NRC that change this rule
I hope someone will point them out. 

Note that as a byproduct to this requirement the recorded
doses are (or can be) very artificial.
