This note is a personal re-collection of some of the problems and experiences of the Health Physics Department staff at Dungeness Power Station during the period 19631971. This was a period of construction, commissioning, operating and learning. It was an interesting period for power reactor health physicists as appropriate instrumentation; information and experience were all in fairly short supply.
