Pocket dosimeters are designed to provide a representative exposure measurement for individuals in radiation environments, assuming a uniform radiative field. However, the small area of the dosimeter compared to the entire body means the recorded dose may not reflect the total exposure experienced by the wearer. To enhance accuracy, multiple dosimeters can be placed on different body parts, and lab analyses can adjust results based on personal factors like height and BMI. Specific activities, such as manual inspections of steam generator tubes, can lead to significantly higher exposure levels, necessitating careful dosimetry. Overall, reliable dosimetry requires consideration of both the environment and the individual's exposure context.
