I'm from Susquehanna, and have been assigned to do an informal benchmark of our monitoring requirements for personal items leaving the RCA. Kind of a long email, but I attached our procedure guidance on what our radworkers should be doing. If anyone has a little bit of time, would some of you mind giving it a quick glance and let me know if anything seems grossly different than what the rest of the industry does? Would be greatly appreciated!
