Re: badge sensitivity topic
Radsafe
Point 1. While I rely on the film badge service to provide
me with their estimate of the dose recieved by the badge, I
also use information not available to the supplier,
(interviews, review of work asignments, locations, body
shielding, workloads,......) to estimate the dose that I
actually believe was received by the individual to whom the
badge was assigned.
Point 2. Does anyone have a reference on the uncertainty of
the badge reading at the low end of the reporting scale
10-50 mR? Does anyong have a reference on how this may be
influenced by actual wear conditions, especially oblique
incidence of the radiation in question?
