Revco Freezers

["Denis J. Rinkacs, Jr." <dr4i@MAIL1.andrew.cmu.edu>]

Good day all,

I have been presented with a small logistics problem.  A 
researcher has to move an upright Revco freezer into his main lab. 
The freezer will be used for autorad films.  
Security and posting are the easy issues - the freezer will be 
locked unless inserting or removing a film and the freezer will be 
posted (therefore the lab does not have to be posted).

There will be no rad work done in this lab, but at the complete 
opposite end of the lab is a lunch area with a table and  
microwave.  The lunch area is not isolated from the rest of the 
lab.

Question:  Do any of you out there see this as a potential 
problem?

The researcher has decided to only allow the "hot" films to enter 
and leave the lab thru the door closest to the freezer.  There is 
another door near the lunch area.

Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.  Please respond 
directly or via Radsafe if one feels this is important to the list.

Thanks

Denny
