Thanks Don - I can see I have come no where near the level of research you have done. Ironically, I used to work in industrial radiation so I actually understand a lot about it and particularly dosimetry. We did all our work with gamma and neutron radiation types, x-rays no matter how strong they are just didn't have the penetrating power we needed in the logging of oil and gas wells.

I'll see if I can hook up a meet with my dosimetrist, as I'd love to get a demo of the software he/she uses; that would be really cool.

Thanks for the heads up. I have plenty of reading on your blog left to do, but I'll get there.

take care
Tony
