Default How Much of a Radiation Dose Did the ISS Crew Just Receive??

Dear Bernard Isker:

I was pretty sure they had a high tech way of real time measurement of
radiation and total accumulated dose. My original question still has not
been answered though. I would guess that NASA would not release this
information since it is a personal measurement having to do with

individuals
health.


You could release it without applying names, or average the numbers for the
crew.

My guess is that these X17 / X28 flares have really raised the astronauts
total dose to a value NASA would rather not have seen.


Probably as high as living in Bangladesh. A notoriously high background
radiation. Maybe even as high as a dental x-ray.
