Overall, the relationship between the external ambient and individual doses was critical to predicting the annual doses per evacuee upon returning home to either of the areas under investigation. Generally, the doses for external exposure were much higher than those for internal exposure. Perhaps, the time of exposure in outdoor settings might have provided more realistic predictions of individual dose…

It is important to cautiously screen all candidates, conduct suitable evaluations, and to create an environment that allows teachers to have witnesses. This environment will provide adequate monitoring and a comfortable environment for staff and students.…
