Mike and All, 

The "new" Part 19 now requires training ONLY if a person is likely to
receive 100 mrem/y.  So, while training may be the best choice, we HPs
now have more flexibility on the training issue, and we can choose to do
no training at all if the likely dose is less than 100 mrem/y.

Cheers, Wes
