What does the TLD Monitor do in the dosimetry program?

• A. Receives, assembles, & issues dosimeters.
• B. Trains personnel.
• C. Maintains facility inventory.
• D. Analyzes exposure data & reports to NRC.

Answer: (A)

In dosimetry, the person in charge of TLDs handles the physical lifecycle of the badges: they receive new dosimeters, assemble each worker’s set, and issue them to staff for monitoring. This role ensures proper identification, grouping, and distribution of badges so that every worker has a dosimeter and tracking remains accurate. After wear, the badges are returned and reprocessed, with the monitor maintaining custody and inventory records to keep the cycle moving smoothly. Training personnel is a separate function, not about handling the badges themselves. Keeping facility inventory is broader facility management, not the specific dosimetry task. Analyzing exposure data and reporting to the NRC is done by those who process the dosimeter results and handle regulatory submissions, not by the person distributing and organizing the dosimeters.
