what's typical radiation exposure? usually radiation badges are worn at waste level, which would be covered w/ shielding. on other hand, the hands and the head are open to all the beams. for comparison, i've heard a CT was like 100 cxrs.

actually the badge is to placed outside the lead, usually on the tyroid collar or on the pocket if your jacket has one.
