Michael,

We included our Argos-5WBAB monitors (with a zeus detector) in our site passive 
sensitivity study. They alarmed every time with a 0.156 uCi sample with a dose 
of 9.9 mrem. We run those monitors in sequence with the GEM-5.

Thanks,

________________________________
Question on Internal Sensitivity (Passive Internal Monitoring) Study -

I know most all have done an internal sensitivity study on your Gamma Portal 
Monitors (GEM-5, PM-7, iPM-12).  Has anybody had a ANI - Recommendation to do 
the same study on your Argos-5 A/B, PCM, IPM Whole Body Contamination Monitors 
(gas flow beta type only - not plastic scintillator optioned like Zeus)?   The 
guidance quoted is ANI Section 8.5, Revision 5 Bioassy - Specifically 8.5.9 
Criterion.

If so, what did you find sensitivity to be?

Sincerely,
