DMC2000 electronic dosimeters at Crystal River read out in tenths of a mrem. This number is then rounded to the nearest integer when uploaded into our Total Exposure database.

For those stations that have their dosimeters set to display tenths; Does your access control/exposure management system accept tenths or are you just using it as an ALARA tool to make the worker more aware of their dose? We use Sentinel for access control (which will accept tenths) but unfortunately still have a legacy exposure management system, considered our "system of record", that will only accept whole numbers. In order to be consistent between the systems we have been sticking with displaying a whole number on the dosimeter.

We are being told that everyone else sets their displays to read out in tenths. I'd like to do a quick survey to see how many sites have their electronic dosimeters, of whatever model, display dose in whole numbers and how many in tenths. I think this question has been asked many times before. If anyone has a roll up of what the responses were, a copy would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Brad Krupp
