WHAT DOES FILM BADGE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Film badge dosimeter

The film badge dosimeter, or film badge, is a personal dosimeter used for monitoring cumulative radiation dose due to ionizing radiation. The badge consists of two parts: photographic film or dental X-ray film, and a holder. The film is removed and developed to measure exposure. The film badge is used to measure and record radiation exposure due to gamma rays, X-rays and beta particles. It is essentially useless for measuring neutron radiation. The device was developed by Ernest O. Wollan whilst working on the Manhattan Project, though photographic film had been used as a crude measure of exposure prior to this. It is now being replaced by more modern dosimeters.

Definition of film badge in the English dictionary

The definition of film badge in the dictionary is a strip of photographic film in a holder that is used to measure the amount of radiation to which the wearer has been exposed.
