Ring badge dosimeters

[D2 <DADCOCK@UNIVSCVM.CSD.SCAROLINA.EDU>]

Does anyone have any information which would suggest that is preferable
to wear ring badges with the sensitive portion turned in any particular
direction.

We had an NRC inspector give a violation because nuclear medicine technologists
were wearing the badges with the film toward the back (posterior) of the hand.

I am looking for quantitative information not opinion.

Thanks.
