When I first worked in a nuclear research lab, people often took their
film badges home with them; I'm not even sure there were proper racks.
One guy came to the attention of Health Physics because he was
consistently showing higher doses than his co-workers. Turned out he
took his film badge home and placed it in a granite ash-tray overnight.


Did he know he was increasing it? I mean did he do it on purpose for a laugh or to annoy them in some way, or was it just a convenient place to put it? Most people don't place anything other than cigarettes in ashtrays.
