ot

It was necessary for the man accomplishing ‘the mission to run tn, release the filter guickly and gat out.

The blue 10 r dosimeter was checksd

after each entry and as the operation progressed, it gradually built up to

= total of 6 r in the case of Balagna.

This reading would heve given

cause for alarm except for tha fact that this particular dosimeter (inter-

mediate range) has a consistent history of reading high by a factor of
ebout three.

We do not rate this blus pencil dosimeter type very highly,

but for this particular operation it was the only instrument avalilavie

because the ion chamber cannot be read “on the run.”
‘the dosimeter read low.
