8. Intensity and Tine: If you were to receive two readings, both
of 25r/hry Without the tine being reported, you might think the intcnsitics
~
were equal and remain so,
However, if the first 25 readings were
made two hours after the explosion, and the other four hours afterthe
explosion, we would find on calculating these both back to one, hour tnat
f
the first readiAg was 60r/hr, whereas the second was 100r/hr,

This
calculation is always performed in order to have all the intensities
at the same time in order to make direct comparisons, The technically
trained monitors in your unit will know ho to make these calculations,
9. Remenber, the longer you can remain out of a contaminated area,
the less the risk when you do enter it,
10, Accumulated Dosage, As we said above, accumulated dosages are
moasured on dosimeters, They cohsist of self-reading dosimeters, non=
self-reading dosimeters, and filmbadges. .The aumber of dosimeters of
the pocket chanber type issued this command is,limited, Therefore, they
-will be issued only to certain personnel in a group to represent that
group. Their representative readings will be recorded for all personnel
of the groups This record will be recorded daily by this unit. The
