Re: Landauer's New Dosimetry Badge

[Agnes Barlow <agnes.barlow@yale.edu>]

We did talk to them.  Even went so far as to test expose some badges to
P-32 and they were reported correctly as shallow doses.  It has to be
background radiation over the quarter that is higher than that on the
control badges.  But with over 300 research groups using over 800 different
lab, we can't get an individual control badge for each group.  We did not
see this on monthly badges [rarely anyway].  There are too many advantages
to quarterly badges to switch back to monthly exchange.  I think I am just
stuck for now.  thanks for the input though.
