Every dosimeter has a serial number. An organization's Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) or similar person assigns dosimeters to staff members who come in contact with radiation. The workers wear the dosimeters during the course of their workday. They turn them in at the end of a scheduled period, such as at the end of the month, and receive new badges to use. The RSO sends the badges to a lab for processing and receives a report listing radiation exposure amounts and badge numbers. If a person has received an excessive amount of radiation during a work period, he may be assigned temporarily to nonhazardous duties and given a medical checkup.

Is a dosimeter a radiation badge that contains a sensitized film?
A dosimeter based on sensitized film is one kind of radiation dosimeter, but there are other different kinds, and film badges are becoming less common. One widely known dosimeter is the direct read "pen style" electroscope dosimeter. Another "pen style" dosimeter is a miniature ionization chamber, but like the film badge dosimeter requires special equipment to read it later in a lab. Probably the most commonly used type of dosimeter outside of emergency response is the TLD, or thermoluminescent dosimeter.
What is the purpose of wearing a film badge when working with ionizing radiation sources?
The film badge measures radiation exposure; an exposed film badge indicates how much radiation a worker has recieved.
Why are film badges little use detecting alpha particles?
alpha can't make it through the badge holder to the film.
What is the procedure for a lost film badge?
Per policy and procedures, the previous 3 wear periods would be averaged and a dose assigned for the time period specified by the missing badge. The assigned dose should be recorded and reported to the Radiation Safety Committee. This procedure normally is performed by the Lead Nuclear Medicine Technologist, as they are normally responsible for film badge reporting.

What is the detector of nuclear radiation?
A radiac detects nuclear radiation. There are many types of radiac, some are: Geiger counter, ionization survey meter, scintillation counter, film badge dosimeter, electroscope dosimeter, electrometer, drift meter, cloud chambers, etc.
What instrument measures radiation does?
Until a professional improves this answer, here is a layman's understanding. Radiation can be measured with a Geiger Counter, or a film badge device I think is called a Dosimeter.
What device i used to measure the radiation exposure of people working with radiation?
geiger counter Incorrct. It would be a film badge. A Geiger counter depends on the gas within the metal tube ionizing and a Geiger is hooked to an electric supply. A film badge would be used more frequently as it is simply a badge consisting of several layers of photographic film that is covered by black paper. The badge is worn and can be checked easily.
What is Film badge?
A film badge can be defined as a device containing photographic film that registers the wearerÕs exposure to radiation. The badge consist of two parts, photographic film or dental X-ray,and a holder.

What is a dosimeter?
A dosimeter is an instrument that measures the amount of hazardous material to which something or someone has been cumulatively exposed. The most common is the radiation dosimeter, which measures a person's or object's exposure to radiation.
What is a film badge used for in a radiation exposure?
A flim badge is used to monitor the exposure that the technologist receives.
Do dosimeter badges detect any exposure to alpha particles when worn by radiation workers?
No, alpha particles will not be detected by dosimeter badges.
