Explanation

Egmont

He is restricted to 200 mrem/yr and he already has 100 mrem.

Harpo

He is scheduled to have a medical procedure involving a radioactive isotope.

The RadCon Standard recommends special consideration be given to

keeping down the occupational doses of those receiving additional doses for

medical purposes. If he ingested a radioactive isotope during the medical

procedure on Thursday, during monitoring for contamination on Friday the

frisker may not be able to identify whether the dose was from an internal or

external source.

Julius

He can't be the leader. He also can't receive the 300 to 400 mrem dose

unless you get special permission to exceed the ACL of 700 mrem per year.

NOTE: If he does not participate, he will still end up the year as the median

person of the group in terms of dose, so by not choosing him you are not

favoring him.

Barbie

The genetic risk effects due to irradiation of sperm and unfertilized eggs at

these dose levels are considered to be extremely low. The important risk is

to a developing embryo-fetus.

Cleo

Technically she has not declared her pregnancy in written form, however,

management should not put unreasonable obstacles in the way of a woman

being able to declare her pregnancy. The best route to take is to get her to

write in the information on the form until the secretary returns.
