NCRP 122 (1995) Effective Dose Equivalent

["Flora, Jason" <jgf7@cdc.gov>]

The NCRP has made recommendations for assigning Effective Dose
Equivalent (He)
from a Personal Dose Equivalent Hp(10mm) measurement in NCRP publication
122.

Under the Recommendations Section (pg. 36) , the use of two monitoring
devices
(front of chest, and back of chest) is recommended when the photon
energy
is unknown or difficult to characterize.

I would like to know if any dosimetry programs are reviewing the use of
two
dosimeters in these locations to assign Effective Dose Equivalent and
the
impact in final dose estimate as compared to historical personnel
measurements.
