Which dosimeter is described as digital and provides an alarm at a certain dose?

• A. Self Reading Dosimeter
• B. Dosimeter of Legal Records
• C. Pocket Dosimeter
• D. Personal Dose Badge

Answer: (A)

A device that gives real-time feedback with a warning when the dose reaches a preset level is designed for immediate action to limit exposure. The self-reading dosimeter fits this description best because it provides a digital display of accumulated dose and can be set to alarm (audible or visual) once a threshold is reached. This combination of instant, digital readout and proactive warning helps workers stop irradiating themselves further and take protective steps right away. The other options are not described as digital with an alarm in standard practice: a dosimeter of legal records is not a real-time monitoring device, a personal dose badge is a passive recorder without real-time alarms, and a pocket dosimeter may offer immediate readings but is not universally characterized as a digital device with an alarm in typical training materials.
