We have asked Region II to forward to Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant Dr. Moeller's suggestion of informing their visitors that whole-body counters calibrated for the detection of fission 'products will not necessarily provide accurate data for naturally occurring potassium-40:

As Dr. Moeller's other suggestions on whole-body counters deal mainly. with the administrative aspects of a program; they will be considered for incorporation into future revisions of regulatory guides on'he subject of bioassay (which includes whole-body counting).
