RE: RE: Late charges for unreturned badges

["Dunn, Wes" <WDunn@intiso.com>]

Andrew, the wording is "likely to receive", not "potential to receive".  As
such, one can easily justify not badging a large number of individuals by
applying the regulation.  The fact that many/most facilities choose to
over-badge should not be blamed on the regulations.

	Dear Mr. Lipton:

	The only radiation workers who routinely receive measurable doses
are those
	in our hospital and the only workers who come close to any limits
are those
	I mentioned.  However, regulations and regulators require that
anyone with
	the POTENTIAL to exceed one tenth of the annual dose must be
monitored.  The
	key word is "potential" as it means requiring badging for people who
are
	unlikely to ever receive anything close to a dose limit.
