tell them that you have already had 27 x-rays this year, and that your doctor says you have reached your milirem limit.
isnt there something with film that the russians would use? |

Quit your job?
Or get a meter and see what the exposure level is, and a dosimeter to tell how much exposure you have received. |

Oh sweet mother of God! I LIVED within 200 feet of an operating reactor for a combined amount of over two years with no ill effects. Waaaahhhhh! Radiation! I'm scared! Sorry if I sound harsh, but few things irritate me more than people making a fuss over something they obviously know nothing about. Go to this site. First of all, find out exactly what they are installing. It sounds like you have no clue about it. Talk to the people that actually operate the equipment. They will know if there is a danger, which is doubtful. Then go on vacation. Chances are good you will get more radiation exposure on the plane ride, than at work. ETA: Those machines would be for reading dosimeters. The dosimeters are NOT radioactive. The monitor may have a small radiation source to check calibration. But that's it. If you are afraid of radioactive material, throw your smoke detectors away. I'm sure you will feel safer. |

You should be supplied a badge that you wear at all times that soaks up the radiation you're near. They take the badge from time to time and test just how much radiation its been exposed too. Check with the labor department of the state you're working in for specifics and OSHA regs also, lest you glow in the dark. |

Just an estimate of the total time I was onboard while the reactor was critical. Can't believe people would make a career out of that shit job. Long hours AND dealing with Coners? No way. Six and out. Long live the SNOB! |

I get more radiation living in Colorado than someone at sea level would get licking the outside of a reactor.

And your Coleman lantern mantles. And your Fiestaware plates. And your Tritium illuminated watches and compasses. And anything marble or granite. Including your driveway. Remove your bones. They contain radioactive phosphorus. Don't go indoors. Many parts of the US have radon gas seepage. Don't go outdoors. Cosmic rays. Don't fly on a plane. With less atmospheric shielding you get a much higher dose of radiation than you do on the ground. |

I hope you aren't running an ACOG on your AR.
I hope you don't use a cell phone either. |

I picked up 1 mRem today, which was unusual (normally I never pick up any measureable amount). This was in the spent fuel building of a nuclear power plant.

Much bigger chance of you dying on the way TO the job, than actually doing the job.

Cell phones don't emit (ionizing) radiation. |
