Links on Radiation and Topaz

You may find the following sites interesting and useful. In retrospect,
after my last posting, I realized that it took me a while to find these,
so I'll pass them along to save you some time if you are still searching.

I do apologize for not providing hyperlinks for the URLs in this
message, but my browser on this machine does not seem to provide that
capability. So you'll have to cut and paste. Sorry about that.


This page summarizes NRC requirements. No guarantee it is the most
recent set -- now some 14 years old, and this was issued about the time
some hot stones were getting out.

Scroll way down on this interesting page and you'll find a plot for the
radiation count in a jet airliner. If you are interested in building or
buying a counter, I believe the sponsor of this page is worth checking out:
