If your controls have been compromised then I'd use the control values from a 
previous period.  If personnel take them home, I'd use the same time of yr last 
yr as the affected batch to account for any seasonal variance.  I wouldn't go 
beyond previous controls.

I would avoid trying to inject electronic dosimeter performance/bias from 
previous periods as that value can vary significantly just based upon wear 
patterns and how much ED dose might be lost on each transaction.  If someone 
tried to press for certainty on ED bias, your previous history more than likely 
has significantly more variance than control dosimeters.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [powernet] accidental irradiation of personnel DLRs

Question from Susquehanna:

A recent OSLD shipment to our vendor is showing results that indicate it may 
have been accidentally irradiated in transit.  I am wondering if any utilities 
have any guidance or experience in conducting dose evaluations for this 
scenario.

What I'm really interested in are opinions on what level of justification is 
needed to assign dose to individuals based on electronic estimate and/or area 
DLRs.  In many cases I think I can build a strong argument for assigning dose 
based on these access records or work area dose rates, but I do not know if the 
basis/methodology would hold water with the NRC.

I appreciate any input you may have.

Thank you,
