Petri Dishes for Air Sample Filter Transport?




     Our management is thinking about using plastic petri dishes (two 
     piece) for transporting air sample filters to the counting labs 
     instead of the standard paper coin envelopes which are now in use. 
     They want to make this change in an effort to minimize the "transfer" 
     of radioactive material from the filter medium to the paper envelope.
     
     Has any other facility/plant done this, or thought about doing this 
     and decided not to?  Why or why not?
