PROCEEDINGS OF SYMPOSIUM ON FILM BADGE DOSIMETRY, HARWELL, OCTOBER 1961
The texts of the principal papers and summaries of discussion on film badge dosimetry are presented. Various systems used for film badges, the photographic action of ionizing radiation, the comparative response of various photographic films, and problems encountered in personnel monitoring are reviewed.
