dosimeters

["Clement, Christopher" <clementc@aecl.ca>]

Radsafers:

I'm interested in finding out what my options are for external
dosimeters.  Normal TLD's really don't seem to fit my requirements.  I
need to measure fairly low doses, hopefully down to 10 uSv or less above
background over periods ranging from one working day to several weeks.
An uncertainty on the order of 10%-20% or so at these low levels is good
enough for my purposes.  The dosimeters have to be convenient to wear
and direct reading is preferred in order to avoid the expense and
inconvenience of a reader.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
