LATENT-IMAGE FADING IN FILM BADGE DOSIMETERS
Journal Article
·
· Health Physics (England)
The primary purpose of this study was to establish the feasibility of using a cumulative film as well as a weekly film in film badge dosimeters, since use of a 3 month cumulative film would allow about a tenfold reduction in minimum reported dose over that obtainable with weekly film. The parameter of most interest is the film latent-image fading period. This was investigated for times up to 90 days under varying environmental conditions. The controlling factor was found to be humidity. Use of a film wrapper impervious to water vapor should effectively solve the problem. (auth)
