Conventional film types used in personnel-monitoring film badges are suitable for measuring x- and gamma -radiation exposures only up to 1000 r. By using special processing procedures, it is possible to extend the range of the lesssensitive component of most commercial fllm packets up to at least 10,000 r. Limitations in precision of readings from changes in rate dependence, energy dependence, and changes in the shape of the characteristic curve in this range are discussed. (auth).

Excerpt from Evaluation of Unexpectedly Large Radiation Exposures by Means of Photographic Film In summary, it should be pointed out that these special development techniques could be useful in emergencies when applied with some caution. A set of workable procedures should be established before an emergency arises. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
