RE: Individual monitoring device question.

["William G. Nabor" <wgnabor@uci.edu>]

Is there a reason for this?  So it can be seen by the regulators?  If the
lead apron is shielding the person wearing it, wouldn't it be more accurate
for the dosimeter to reflect this fact - or is Illinois worried about
exposure to areas not covered by the apron (e.g., head)?
