At a lator time after fallout, better estimates of radiation doses
received may be obtained from film badge readings or dosimeters,
If
these film badges or disimeters are worn on personnel and the evidence
of their use supports the view that the readings are a reasonebly sccurate account of the radiztion dose received then the values recerded on
the film badge or dosimster may be accepted with a correction factor of
3/4 to account for the difference between the dose received by the film
badge or dosimeter (ineluding backscatter) and that received at the
tissue dcpth of five centimeters.
