Default Re: Chernobyl

I didn't forget you folks. I know that the medical folks who deal with radiology keep good exposure records. Both on the x-ray side and the medical isotopes side. I was trying to point out some of the occupations who receive exposure, but don't keep records or even acknowledge that they are getting exposed.

My lifetime occupational radiation exposure (after 15 years as a radiation and contamination qualified worker) is less than the equivalent of 1 chest x-ray. Of course, as an engineer, I don't get as much exposure as some of the other workers.
