Re: PI with I-131 Treatment and Immediate Return to Work

["Ron Amoling" <AMOLINGR@JOSLAB.HARVARD.EDU>]

I think that as long as the PI doesn't sleep with anyone on the job, 
nor care for children, she should be able to do her job with no other 
restrictions.  If this individual worked at a facility that didn't 
have contamination monitoring equipment, she would have resumed work 
without any fanfare.

If she was released from the hospital in accordance with applicable 
government safety regulations, then why should she be treated 
differently when she comes to work?  According to these release 
criteria, she should be able to use the same bathroom, cafeteria, 
etc., as anyone else who works at your facility, without regard to 
the residual radiaoctivity.
