Problems of dosimetry control became acute primarily due to the increased time required to collect, film badges at a certtral laboratory, process the badges amd return the results to the various ships prior to the next re-entry to shore installations. Personnel, equipment and instruments were spread thin in order to cover the essential shore work, The further requirement to operate simuilta- neously at doth atolls was a particularly difficult matter.
