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?
