Operation Buster project 6.1b Evaluation of Dosimetric Materials.
Abstract
Development models of several types of military personnel dosimeters were tested to determine their accuracy under exposure to the prompt radiation of an air burst. Included in the test were both self-indicating and non-self-indicating dosimeters, with various sensitivities encompassing the low range, high range, and casualty range of dosage. Dosimeters were arranged in arrays on aluminum plates,which were then covered by aluminum hemispheres. Film badges set inside National Bureau of Standards film holders designed to compensate for energy variations were used as controls. These shelters were then placed at varying distances from the bomb blast. Conclusions are reached and recommendations made with respect to the adequacy of the equipment for military applications.
