Okay, Navy CaF2 dosimeters were calibrated and shielded for really high energies, while the "newer" LiF2 dosimeters would handle a much broader band of energies with clipping performed by the reader's software.  (ELT who processed dosimetry at PHNSY on limdu, so I know both systems.)  Ionization occurs at lower energies than those accurately measured by Navy equipment.

Do commercial dosimeters get clipped at the same high energy as Navy dosimeters?  Does the clipping artificially lower the measured dose?  If so, are Navy dose values legit?

I was an ELT on a sub and everyones dose was consistent with the surveys and power history.

Commercial dosimeter processors are required to be certified by NVLAP for various energy ranges of radiation, so, there shouldn't be any clipping going on.  The NVLAP categories are:
   Category I - Accident Photons.
   Category II - Protection Level Photons.
   Category III - Betas.
   Category IV - Photon Mixtures.
   Category V - Beta and Photon Mixtures.
   Category VI - Neutron and Photon Mixtures.
