Missing dose is a problem that has not been adequately addressed in the mortality studies of radiation effects among workers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The missing dose is a result of recording a zero for below-detectable doses, especially for frequent (weekly) film badge readings. To make the thorough dosimetry assessment needed in the current Oak Ridge National Laboratory worker studies, it will probably be necessary to consider all data at hand including personnel dose records, daily pocket meter readings used to supplement weekly and quarterly readings from other dosimeters, and monitoring results from both building surveys and fixed stations. The fixed-station data should be extremely useful in developing a better understanding of the unusual temporal variation of the external radiation doses to Oak Ridge National Laboratory workers during the high exposure-rate periods of the 1950s and early 1960s.
剂量缺失是橡树岭国家实验室工作人员辐射效应死亡率研究中一个尚未得到充分解决的问题。剂量缺失是由于将低于可检测剂量记录为零导致的，特别是对于频繁（每周）的胶片剂量计读数。为了在当前橡树岭国家实验室工作人员研究中进行所需的全面剂量测定评估，可能有必要考虑手头的所有数据，包括人员剂量记录、用于补充其他剂量计每周和每季度读数的每日袖珍剂量计读数，以及建筑物调查和固定监测站的监测结果。固定监测站的数据对于更好地理解20世纪50年代和60年代初高暴露率时期橡树岭国家实验室工作人员外部辐射剂量的异常时间变化应该极其有用。
