Secondary Dosimetry
Abstract
A secondary dosimeter provides an accurate, real-time readout of the radiation exposure being obtained in operational environments, and is utilized in conjunction with a primary dosimeter. The primary dosimeter does not provide real-time exposure information, so the secondary dosimeter is worn for that purpose. The Navy's secondary dosimeter is the Mk2 Electronic Personal Dosimeter (EPD). Research is required to find a secondary dosimeter that can measure the type of radiation encountered with pulsed X-ray machines, and to see if this new capability can be incorporated into one device.
