Yes DinG, they are in fact Dosimeters - a small piece of a type of photographic film which "fogged" when exposed to certain wavelength bands - the nasty ones.
We had to wear 2, one on our left lapel and the other on the cuff - depended whether you were R or L handed.
I think that would have been Springfields Jay. They manufactured parts/equipment for the nuclear industry - not just power stations.
