The personal alpha dosimeter(PAD) is a lightweight monitoring system designed to infer individual exposures to radon and thoron progeny and to long-lived radioactive dust(LLRD). Although used primarily in the uranium mining industry, the PAD has also been used in non-uranium mines, radioactive waste cleanup and storage facilities, and a variety of other industries where workers may be exposed to uranium-bearing materials. 2, record 1, English, - personal%20alpha%20dosimeter
