Behind the filter is placed an activated

charcoal cartridge to collect gases such as radioiodines.

Glass fiberfilters are counted for gross beta activity in the proportional region.
All charcoal cartridges, and any glass fiber filters with
gross beta activity significantly above background levels are
assayed with a 400 channel gamma scintillation spectrometer,
using a steel shield for a 4" x 4” Nal (T1) erystal with a Cs!"
peak resolution of eight percent for identification of specific
gamma-emitting isotopes.
Film Badging

Film badges were distributed to hundreds of locations around

the Test Site and to as many as 1,600 persons during certain

operations. Presently there are about 50 locations with some
200 persons wearing film badges. Film badges were and are

collected and processed monthly.

In the event that radio-

activity was found in the area by the mobile monitoring teams,
film badges were collected from these locations and from
people living in the area; new film badges were distributed.
Additional stations and people were included if the situation
