Investigation of elevated whole body radiation monitoring results in a research environment.
When a personnel radiation monitoring device (badge) report indicates that a significant, elevated exposure has been received by an individual, an immediate and thorough investigation must be initiated to determine if the exposure is real, identity the source of the exposure, and to take appropriate steps to eliminate or control further exposures. The key points to consider in such an investigation are provided.
