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 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 symptom indicate the alarm stage of stress?
racing heartbeat
What is an alarm gauge?
An alarm gauge is a device attached to a steam boiler to indicate excessive steam pressure or insufficient water.
Do dosimeter badges detect any exposure to alpha particles when worn by radiation workers?
No, alpha particles will not be detected by dosimeter badges.
Who invented the radiation dosimeter?
They are invented by NASA.
What is the symptoms that indicate that a person is in the alarm stage of stress?
racing heart beat
Why does an alarm sound on a mercury 115 outboard motor?
It would depend on the alarm, a steady alarm indicates an engine over heat. If the engine alarm is a series of beeps, this would indicate an oil pump / supply failure.
What is pen dosimeter?
A pen dosimeter is a dosimeter the size and shape of a pen. In many cases they are radiation quartz fiber dosimeters made during the cold war for civil defense workers in the case of a nuclear attack. Of these the CD V-742 is the most common with over three million being produced.
What should be used for the detection or collection of radiological material?
Thermoluminescent dosimeter
What should not be used for detection or collection of radiological materials?
Thermoluminescent dosimeter
