Good question Roger, the short answer to that is 'no they didn't. Radiation (in millirems) was logged after each flight, the data coming from the onboard radiation meter developed at the Harwell nuclear research centre in Essex. (A counter clocked the overall dose and an analog dial indication showed the dose rate). Although the dose rates in Concorde were higher than in a subsonic aircraft, because the sector times were over twice as short everything kind of cancelled out. The indicator itself
I do remember that when the Three Mile Island Pa accident happened in 1979, some spikes were seen on the radiation meter on the IAD-LHR sector, and occasionally throughout the years we got minor spikes when overflying the Atomic Weapons establishment at Burghfield in Berkshire. (All we did in that case was to telephone the duty officer at Burghfield who would say 'thank you' and log the event).
As far as the 'B' model goes, well yes it is a little frustrating to know that the full potential of this wonderful design was never fully realised, but as I said before, 'the 'A' model itself was still totally amazing.
