Evaluation of "criteria for film badge performance" ANSI N13.7-1972
American Industrial Hygiene Association Journal
|January 1, 1977
Abstract:
To determine if ANSI N13.7-1972 is a useful method to test the accuracy of film badge processors to measure radiation doses to workers in the nuclear industry, a set of exposed dose values is compared to several sets of typical, but imaginary, reported dose values. The ANSI Standard is found to be a complex procedure with no direct test for accuracy. Because of these and other limitations of the Standard, it is concluded that ANSI N13.7-1972 is unacceptable for routine testing of film badges.
