Many of these participants have been experiencing sicknesses that may be test-related. Currently, test participants who had served in military units have pending over 6,000 claims for compensation at the Department of Veterans Affairs. This study presents improved methods for calculating the radiation doses to which these individuals were exposed, and are intended to be useful in the adjudication of their claims. 606 $aPhotographic dosimetry 606 $aNuclear weapons$xTesting$xHealth aspects 615 0$aPhotographic dosimetry. 615 0$aNuclear weapons$xTesting$xHealth aspects. 676 $a539.7/7 701 $aMasse$b Francis X$01809024 701 $aLalos$b George$01809025 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bCommittee on Film Badge Dosimetry in Atmospheric Nuclear Tests. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970126003321 996 $aFilm badge dosimetry in atmospheric nuclear tests$94359602 997 $aUNINA
