INDIVIDUAL EXPOSURES
OFF-SITE
As a part of the AEC's over-all monitoring program conducted
4n the area surrounding the Nevada Test Site, more than 260 persons have been issued film badges since the resumption of under-
ground testing in September 1961.
‘The recorded radiation exposure
received by these personnel is maintained as a permanent record by
the AEC, and each individual is informed of his exposure record.
Table I summarizes the highest exposures received by off-site in-
dividuals since September 15, 1961, at NTS until sbout
September 4, 1962.
These records have been corrected for natural
background radiation exposure , Which is approximately 0.5 mr/day
for the general area.
Table II lists the locations and mumber of
people wearing film badges that recorded no identifiable radiation
exposure above natural background.
