... Values assigned to both B and K take into account the specific exposure conditions and sources of uncertainty for each series. To obtain the best estimate of the deem dose equivalent in rem, the reported film badge exposure in R is divided by the overall bias, B
From page 192...
... A review of the e~osure-reading distribution for all test series leads the Committee to conclude that such a practice would probably overestimate the actual exposure, but that it would not greatly exaggerate the general results in any test series or the recorded exposure of any single participant. In special circumstances such as when the overwhelming majority of readings for a group of participants similarly exposed during a given exposure period were zero, zero is probably the reading of choice in terms of maximum accuracy and should be used accordingly.
