There are no comments for now.

1. A pocket dosimeter will provide dose rate information.
2. A survey meter will provide dose rate information.
3. Dose rate instruments contain ionization chambers.
4. Non-direct reading dosimeters are read by pointing the end of the dosimeter at a light source and peering into the opposite end.
5. Film badges measure dose rate
6. Film badges may have a lead or aluminum filter.
7. A control badge may be worn by a visitor if no guest badge is available.
8. If Bob leaves his film badge at home by mistake, with permission from management, he may wear Carl’s badge if Carl is not using the badge that shift.
9. You are to fly to another state to perform radiography. It’s OK to let your film badge go through the airport X-ray scanner since the dose rate is minimal.
10. Thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD)'s are better than film badges because they are more accurate for low doses.
11. Film badges are better than Thermoluminescent Dosimiter (TLD)s because they are impervious to water.
12. Film badges work on the principle of phosphorous luminescence.
13. A properly calibrated survey meter that shows a dose rate of 100 mR/hr may actually be measuring 88 mR/hr and still be within calibration.
14. Survey meters are better than Geiger counters for measuring low dose rates.
15. Geiger counters may deflect a needle or produce audible clicks as an indication of exposure.
