Photographic film as a pocket radiation dosimeter

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6135694· OSTI ID:6135694
The energy dependence of film blackening is discussed and shown graphically. The exposure range of films is discussed, and blackening is plotted vs exposure for DuPont No. 502, and for the less sensitive DuPont No. 351. A plan is then described for monitoring radiation exposure to workers by requiring the worker to carry an x-ray film of dental packet size in a badge designed for the purpose. (LEW)
