Bias and uncertainty parameters for this function were determined for each test series. Even for early and less completely documented test series, the Committee found that estimates of exposure can be established within 95% confidence limits that rarely exceed a factor of 2 (i.e., from two times the exposure at the upper limit, to one-half the exposure at the lower limit)

While the uncertainty increases with lower exposures, the overall uncertainty was small enough to make the data useful for consideration of potential biological effects in an individual participant. Methodology for Assessing Bias and Uncertainty: A method is presented for assessing bias and uncertainty in film badge exposure readings and for converting

Conversion from Exposure to Deep-dose Equivalent Deep-dose equivalent is the quantity of interest in evaluating the potential for biological effects from the radiation received by an individual involved in the weapons test series. Conversion from film badge readings to deep-dose equivalent is a necessary element in the evaluation of a participant's radiation exposure history.
