D.C. Cook response: The DLR wear period will be the same as the normal radworker wear period (3 times a year, months vary based on outage duration). When performing the initial assessment of dose to the fetus, if significant dose is received prior to the declaration date then the DLR may be read prior to determining remaining dose to the DPW.

What is the TLD/OSL wear period at your site for DPWs? The wear period at Duke is monthly. Any information you may have on this subject is welcome. Thanks for your assistance! Pat Patrick J.
