This conclusion is based on NMSS ’ determination that Region III used an appropriate method to calculate the dose, obtained the necessary data by direct and detailed interviews with the exposed member of the public and the hospital staff on duty at the time of the exposures, and confirmed that the information provided by the exposed member of the public and the hospital staff was consistent.
