The levels are all under 2MSRV which i understand is "OK". Unfortunately I am not bright enough to understand it all
Mr Angry,
I'm not quite clear on the dose rate you quote.
Are you saying that you check to see that the total
annual exposure of a pilot is less than 2 millisieverts (mSv)?
If so your pilots have nothing to worry about - this is ten times less than the permitted annual dose for a UK radiation worker, and is equivalent to 100 chest x-rays.
