Journal Article · · Nuclear Power
OSTI ID:4205283

An evaluation is presented on the two dosimeters commonly used in personnel monitoring, i.e., the ionization chamber and the photographic film. The design of a filter system for a film badge is given. The film monitors beta- , gamma-, and x-ray dosage and gives an indication of the dose. Thermal neutrons can be measured by replacing part of the tin filter with cadmium. The operation of a dosage recording service is described (C.J.G.)
