Description of the Book:

Task Group 7.6, with assigned responsibilities for radiological health protection during Operation Sandstone, conducted certain tests and made observations on field performance of a number of miscellaneous instruments including Geiger-Mueller survey instruments, ionization chamber survey instruments, and integrating dosimeters. This report contains observations on the numbers and types of instruments required for operations of a similar nature to Operation Sandstone. Certain design defects are noted in the instruments used, and some corrective recommendations are made. In general, the performance of the instruments used during the operation was good. Serious leakage problems were encountered with pocket dosimeters. Some troubles were encountered in the use of instruments in aircraft. Information is given in Appendix B on the processing of film badges used for health protection. (Author
