Series Description: Records in this series pertain to thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) placed at locations throughout the site to measure background radiation levels and estimate the potential for employee exposure. Interfiled in the series are floor plans indicating the placement of the TLDs; lists of TLDs, finger rings, and wrist bands used as test badges; Temporary Badge Logsheets which list badge numbers and readings in milliroentgens per hour; TLD Neutron Badge Data logsheets which provide doses in millirems for individual employees; and computer-generated reports listing employee payroll numbers and readings for shallow and deep exposures. Also included are memoranda which provide reasons for using the test badges, such as scheduled maintenance or construction work in a particular area. Other personnel information is included as well.
