Some types of activities required badging an entire group.

For exam-

film badges were issued on D-1 of each shot to all crewmembers of

TG 7.4 sampling aircraft and to crewmembers of any other aircraft expected
to fly within 100 nmi

(185 km) of the shot site at H-hour.

Badges were issued at the radsafe centers to parties entering radiological exclusion

(radex)

areas.

The records do not specify whether a

badge was issued to each member of a party or a single badge was used to
represent doses for the entire party.
All film badge processing and maintenance of dose record cards for ail
personnel was performed by TU 7 of TG 7.1 in compliance with JTF 7 regulations.

Personnel Exposure Sheets were used by a large percentage of units

and groups during CASTLE to keep track of personal identification data,
issue and return date for individual film badges, and recorded radiation
exposure.

In some cases these sheets were also modified to include date

of pocket dosimeter issue and the exposure reading upon return that same
day. Although established procedures called for transfer of individual
badge information to 5- x 8-inch record cards, only about 50 percent of
CASTLE dosimetry data were entered on these record cards.

In general,

most TG 7.3 dose data were cumulated on lists of shipboard personnel ra-

ther than the 5x8 cards.
The 5x8 record cards,

“Individual Accumulative Radiation Exposure Rec~-

ord,” were developed in two different formats.

One version of the form

included badge number, date of development of the badge, the film badge

reading in milliroentgens, and an accumulated dose [sic] column (also in
milliroentgens).

Another format provided issue dates of both film badges

and pocket dosimeters, the exposure in milliroentgens for both (if recorded), and an accumulated exposure column in milliroentgens used to
total film badge readings.

Although attempts were made to provide all

data on the cards or Personnel Exposure Sheets, not all fields were always
completed.
