project officer or someone outside the Test Director's organizations
he Film badges. We propose to simplify the film badge business for the
user by” satting up a system in which the clerical work need mt be done
at the time of issue or return of the badge. At the issue counter there
will be three boxes. The first will contain unused badges. Ths second
will contain small forms with blanks for film badge number, name, security
badge number, issue date, processing date and dose. The third box will
be for the partially completed forms. The user will pick up a badge and
a form, write on the form the film badge number, his name, his security

badges mmber and the date, and put the form in a third box.

Anyone who wants or needs a film badge may get one in this way and in fact

may pick up badges for other people.
for each badge,

A separate card must be filled out
.

The cards will be placed in a live file when the clerks get aroumd to it
and will be kept there until the badges is turned ine Badges may be turnsd
in at the Rad-Safe building or at the contamination check-point on ths
mein highway. The badgés will be matched with the cards in the live file
and sent for processing. The processing date and dose will be recorded
on the card. After the dose is recorded on an individual's accimuleted
dose record the card will be placed in a dead file or destroyed. In any
case it will not again appear in the live file.
Conceivably the Rad-Safe people will be able to simplify the procedure even

more by attaching a correctly mimbsred and dated file card to a film bedee

ahead of time.

The user would then have to fill in only his name ard

security badge number.

Where badces are picked up for others the person who picks them up must se3
that the right badge gets to the right person.

Project officers will be responsible for seeing that their people who have
contimiuing clearance turn in used film badges reasonably often. In most
cases this need not be every day. New badges will always be required when
any type of clearame is granted, initial entry, specific entry, or con=

timing, Badges must be turned in after initial and specific entries and
the termination of continuing clearance.

Carrying more than one badge into a contaminated area will cause trouble
ali the way around unless Rad-Safe is advised ahsad of timee If somsone

else picked up a badge for you be sure you have turned your old one in or

at least don't carry both of them.

5.

Decontanination.

The general principle to be followed is that decom

tavination of venicles, clothing and people thanuselves is required before
each entry to a ®clean® area. At present the only "clean" areas are Mercury
