FU on Dose to Submariner

[VERNIG.PETER@FORUM.VA.GOV]

Group,
Last month I inquired about doses to submariners because a Navy Veteran
had indicated he had received a maximum lifetime exposure and had been
told he shouldn't serve on subs or go on them.  I have received the 
report from the Navy Dosimetry Center and his career exposure is less
than 10% of the occupational exposure level for a single year.  IE by
civilian standards he would not be required to wear dosimetry as he is
or rather would be unlikely to receive 10% of the annual limit. I can not
account for why he thinks he was told he had the maximum allowable life-
time exposure.
 
Again thanks to all those that responded.
