Two minutes on the web and I found a company that can provide them for $69 per person per year. That's remarkably cheap. One go around would cost a company more than it would to supply every international crew member with a dosimeter.

While a dosimeter is probably not a bad idea, it really doesn't protect someone from radiation, which I believe, is what you're looking to do. The best solution is to not put yourself in that environment, which of course, is sort of impossible, if you're scheduled to operate over there. A dosimeter will let you know "then", what you'd have liked to know "now."
