and are used to show the amount
of radiation to which the monitor
has been exposed. Radiation par-
ticles affect the film like light.
Dozens of “tracks” are visible
when the film comes in contact
with heavy concentrations of ra-
diation.
Film badges are a permanent
record of the exposude to which
the monitors have been subjected.
Dr. Cox says they show whether
or not the wearer has received the
“maximum allowable lifetime dos-
age ”
Pocket dosimeters, like the film
badges are for the protection of
the monitors. They look like
fountain pens, and gauge one-the-
spot amounts of radiation.
Geiger counters and ionization
chambers actually count the num-
ber of radiation particles — gam-
ma rays, and alpha and beta par-
ticles present in an area. So sensi-
tive is the Geiger counter that if
it could be wired to a fly his foot-
steps could be heard distinctly.
