agreement among the dosage readings for samples of a
given material but the readings for different materials
varied from 0.81 to 2.3 times the readings obtained with
National Bureau of Standards (NBS) film badges.

Results are reported of experiments conducted
during Operations Teapot and Redwing to evaluate the
value of globes to give radiation protection to
personnel working on contaminated aircraft. Tests
indicated that gloves reduce radiation hazard to the
whole hand by 40 percent and to small areas near hot
spots by 60 percent. Recommendation is made that all
personnel having contact with contaminated aircraft be
required to wear one of the following types of gloves:
(a) vinyl-coated cotton, (b) a combination of surgical
rubber and broadcloth,
