indoors gave the lowest value of 38 r."
Thus, although References 5 and 10 agree on
the maximum and minimum readings, they differ on the range of doses to personnel.
Dr. Payne S. Harris of Los Alamos National Laboratory (then LASL) listed film
badge numbers and their respective doses (Reference 9).
These data, in Table 2,
approximate those film badge readings quoted in References | and 2, with a range in
personnel dose of 40-52 R and maximum and minimum doses of 98 R and 37.5R,
respectively, depending on whether the badge remained outside or inside for the
exposure period.
For comparison with calculated doses, the Reference 9 doses are
used,

COMPARISON OF ESTIMATED FILM BADGE DOSES WITH FILM BADGE DATA
All film badges except badge # 313 were turned in and placed in the messhall at
approximately 1130 hours, 2 March (H+28.75), where they remained until evacuation at
1800 hours (H+35.25). Therefore, the estimated film badge doses in Table 1, which are
based on personnel movements on the island until evacuation, cannot be compared
directly with those film badge readings in Table 2. In order to make this comparison
