Advantages of Film Badge
Inexpensive
Easy to handle
Not difficult to process
Reasonably accurate
Been in use for decades
Film Badge
small piece of film similar to dental film size between metal filters inside a plastic holder.
Purpose of personnel dosimeters
simply measures the quantity of radiation to which it was exposed, and therefore is used as an indicator of the exposure of the wearer.
Various personnel dosimetric devices
Film Badges
Thermoluminescence dosimeters
Pocket ionization chambers
Becquerel (Bq) =
Curie (Ci)
Seivert (Sv) =
Radiation Equivalent Man (REM)
Gray (Gy) =
Radiation Absorbed Dose (RAD)
Coulomb/kilogram (C/kg) =
Roentgen (R)
Ci
Curie
unit of measure of the quantity of radioactive material and not the radiation emitted by that material
Bq
Becquerel
REM
Radiation Equivalent Man
accounts for the Differences in Biological effectivness
Sv
Seivert
Gy
Gray
R
Roentgen
unit of measure of radiation exposure or intensity of electric charge per unit
C/kg
Coulomb/kilogram
Radiation Workers MPD
5 REM/yr
Retrospective annual 10-15 REM/yr
MPD for individual of the general public/population
0.5 REM/yr
MPD for group
0.17 REM/yr
MPD for skin, forearms, and hands
Skin= 50 REM/yr
Forearms= 50 REM/yr
Hands= 50 REM/yr
Differences between whole body and body part dose for radiographers
Whole body 5 REM per year
Maximum 3 REM/qtr,not to exceed 5 Rem/yr
Pregnant Radiographer MPD
0.5 REM (500 mRem) during gestation period. Must not exceed 50 mRem
Formula for MPD
MPD = 5(N-18) REM
MPD (Maximum Permissible Dose)
Max dose of ionizing radiation and individual may accumulate over a long period of time or in a single exposure.
