Following recovery, film badges were shipped to the U.S. Army Signal Research and Development Laboratory (ASRDL) for development and interpretation of film density into dose
units.

with twelve lines spaced 30 degrees apart and stations spaced at 100-yard intervals from 100 to
800 yards, and (3) 147 film badges for the biomedical station array.

All stations, except those in foxholes and vehicles, were mounted on quick-recovery
racks (“goal posts’) or fastened to pig-pen fences and had a line of sight to ground zero.
Film dosimeters were installed several days before the shot and removed at H+ 24 hours.
