Recall of Personal Dosimeters Not Presently in Use

The Dosimetry Service requests all persons who do not require access to radiation areas in the foreseeable future to return their personal dosimeter to the Dosimetry Service.

This concerns, for example, experimental physicists whose beam time is over until 2009, or persons whose work profile has changed and therefore no longer need regular access to radiation areas.

When regular access to radiation areas is needed again at a later date, a new dosimeter can be attributed if the prerequisites (medical fitness certificate, RP course) are met.

This recall will allow personal dosimeters to be attributed to personnel who will soon be working in newly created radiation areas at the LHC.

Thank you for your understanding and collaboration.
