 Actually "film badges" is an old term.  They are personal dosimeters=
 that are about 2 inch square. Up until about 10 years ago they were =
made of x-ray film, hence the name.  Now most are the same shape but =
are TLD's instead of film.  We use them in our accelerator lab for ra=
diation monitoring. (the lab is a very low level x-ray environment, b=
ut we do the monitoring to avoid *any* legal questions).  You can get=
 them from Global Dosimetry, Irvine California,  www.dosimetry.com  ,=
 if you really want to go through the expense.

Okay, what exactly is a film badge? And how do you get one?
