G. PERSONNEL DOSIMETRY.
1,
The primary dosimetry device will be the film badge, and
the Army Photodosimetry Service shall be employed.
The film badge
contains one or more photographic emulsions and is designed to differentiate between beta particles, gamma rays,

and x-rays.
<A film badge will be worn by all personnel upon entering a
controlled area.
It will be worn on the front surface below the should-
ers, above the hips, and on the outside of clothing,
except where con-
tamination of the badge could occur, or in difficult working conditions
where the film badge might be lost or damaged.
In such cases, the film
badge wiil be worn under protective clothing.
3.
The film badge wearer will be responsible for his badge and
the contained film and will take care to avoid its exposure to excessive
heat, humidity or moisture.
4.
<A self{-reading pocket dosimeter will be worn,
in addition
to the film badge, at all times when an individual is in a radiation
area; i.e.,
in any area in which there exists radiation at such levels
that a major portion of the body could receive in any one hour a dose
equivalent in excess of 2 mrem or in any five consecutive days a dose
equivalent in excess of 100 mrems.
Radiation areas will be identified
during the initial radiological reconnisance of each island.
Exposure
accumulated by the pocket dosimeters will be documented,
