Not every measurement is ISS dosimetry Have the instruments been calibrated at a recognized facility?» How accurately does the calibration site simulate the component of space radiation for which the instrument is designed? Can the results of the measurement be interpreted in terms of other measurements?» Has an intercomparison been performed with other dosimetry instruments?» Have previous flight data been published in refereed journals? Not every ISS dosimetry measurement will necessarily be used for implementing ALARA Are the data available during the mission?» Are they available in real time?» Are they available to the crew in flight?» Is privacy of individual data safeguarded?» Is there a protocol for use by mission operations? Are the data available after the mission?» Is there a protocol for incorporation into medical records?» Is there a protocol for interpretation of the data in terms of crew member radiation history?» Can the data be interpreted in terms of crew member risk? 34
