RE: dust mask usage



This discussion goes back to the basic question of what energy source would
drive any potential release?  What quantities of  activity are you
handling?  Are you handling doubly encapsulated sealed sources or are there
are other forms of material at risk in the facility?

I too would be inclined to agree with the facility IH, a dusk mask is
really not of much use.
