RE: Individual monitoring device question.

["Sandy Perle" <sandyfl@earthlink.net>]

The answer is simple.. per the regulatory requirements. Whether you 
read 10 CFR 20 or associated state regulations, thios is what is 
required when reporting dose. You measure the area where the highest 
dose is to be received. If there in non-uniform geometry, you need to 
consider multibadging. If the area of highest dose changes, you need 
to assess badge re-location:

(c) The assigned deep-dose equivalent and shallow-dose equivalent 
must be for the part of the body receiving the highest exposure. The 
deep-dose equivalent, lens dose equivalent, and shallow-dose 
equivalent may be assessed from surveys or other radiation 
measurements for the purpose of demonstrating compliance with the 
occupational dose limits, if the individual monitoring device was not 
in the region of highest potential exposure, or the results of 
individual monitoring are unavailable.
