In modern day baseball, teams generally have five starting pitchers, and they take it in turn to start a game every fifth day (hence the phrase rotation). Sometimes, if the schedule pans out, a team can get away with a four man rotation, and in the distant past some teams managed a three man rotation.
How Do Dosimeters Work? Dosimeters measure prolonged exposure to potentially dangerous effects. They are used by workers and scientists in a variety of situations, but the most common dosimeters measure either ionizing radiation or noise over periods of time.
While the Panasonic 802 dosimeter that we utilize for gamma, beta, and x-ray radiation exposure does give a neutron signature, we do not report neutron readings from this dosimeter. Instead, we offer the same dosimeter with the addition of a track-etch element. This dosimeter type is referred to as an 83 badge.
