3.2.7 USS EPPERSON Dose Calculations
The EPPERSON received relatively light fallout following Shots BRAVO,
ROMEO, and NECTAR and crew duty routines were probably not altered by its
presence.
The daily badge dose is calculated by multiplying the integrated intensity
topside (Table 2-7) by the time-averaged shielding factor (0.46); the integrated
intensity below is multiplied by the fraction of the day spent below deck (0.6).
Contributions from each source are summed and converted to a film badge dose.
Cumulative film badge doses through 3} May 1954 are given in Table 3-7.
