4.1 Termination Reports, 1969-198/M In 1969 the NRC (then the Atomic Energy Coc.r.ission) began requiring operating nuclear pc er facilities and three other types of licensees

  • to submit peri >onnel identification and exposure information upon the termina-tion of each monitored person's empicyment or work assignr..ent in the lictnsce's facility.

The appropriate inforr.ation on each report is wally coded and satered into the Commission's computerized Radiation E>pesure Information and Reportingjy;1em 1REIRS) at Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

The data are retrievable itA*;}h eetMays - socia security number, name, facility, etc. - which allows statistical analys of the data, as well as the tracing of individual dose histories.

During the years that this infomation has been collected, some 880,000 termination records have been received for approximately 250,000 individuals who have been reported as having terminated their e..ployment at nucicar pc er plants.

The figures given for the number of reports and the namber of individuals are different because numerous individuals have been termirated more than once over the years and because some individuals may have had external doses reported for more than one part of the body, as well as estimates of internal depesitions of radicactive material, each of which is counted as one record.

Table 12 provides a breakdown of this information for individuals terminating during each of the fourteen years and shows that the number of-such records continues to increase each year; however, the nua.ber of ternir.ating individuals appears to have levelhd off at about 66,000. -This ilh.stu tes tM i.istry's s cQ.9 m ed for varkers.

4.2 Limitations of the Termination Data Wwn examining or using the s'a:iStics shown in the report that are tmsed or. the te C ation dsta,,ne t !'ulc Leep ir d nd t'.at t'ese data have verinus limitat'rs, such as the fol b 'ngl Y me li m sees submit a ti<f r.at;on, spurt for each monitorec on utilit)...;.icyee et the end of each monitoring period.rather than waiting until tne individual actually 1cavesthefacility/',neperiod(s)ofenosurethatarereportedfor

Although attempts have been made to correct for some of these problems, they are still an additional source of error in any statistics developed from the termination data.

4.3 Transient Workers per' Calendar Quarter One use'that is being made of the information contained in the termination reports.is the examination of the dosos being received by short-term workers.

Since nearly half of the termination reports indicated periods ofLexposure that were lessLthan 90 days, it is possible that several thousand individuals could have been' employed by two or more licensees during the same pg,1ppdgy.yaagr g Thus, -ir,-tiris repe% a. " transient" worker is defined,to-bmdwt;wn woria who began and terminated employment at two or_ more different licensed facilities-within one calendar

. quarter.

This allows one to examine the doses of those workers most

likely to approach _ the quarterly limits without their employer's knowledge since they move so' rapidly emong facilities.

Tat le 13 dispikys sece'c~f the infoc.ation pthered f rom these teimination reports that were submitted by the licensed nuclear po er facilities.

s The number of'these workers has increased more than twentyfold during the

s five years 1972 through 1976, but now appears to be increasing at a much W

- ' smaller rateT The'_ top part of Table 13 sheves that the average individdal dbse.(which is close to being a quarterly dose for most of these worke,rs)

,3.

shewed la decreasing trend in the earlier years and has leveled off at s

. [ :

about 0.4farems.

The lower nalf of the table breaks down the information

' shown in the first part and presents the doses of the workers employed by q

two, three and four or nere different reactor licensees.

One can see that the najority of these workers were reported by two different licensees g

during a cuarter, while the smaller. number of those terminated by three

\\

or more licensees generally received higher average doses.

Examinaticns s

of these records have revealed that some individuals have worked for as many as six different NRC licenues during one calendar quarter.

However,

' 4 only a'-few instances have been found in which a worker exceeded his quarterly limit of three rems as a result of his working at.two different licensed faciliti~es within one calendar quarter.

Two of them occurred in 1980 when the doses that the workers had received while employed by the first utility were revised upward later in the year.

This resulted in their receiving.a quarterly dese that slightly e>ceeoed three rems.

That is not to say ttat'no other workers' doses have exceeded the quarterly

~

limit because ths'. records of those who were employed by a second licensee for a period spanning'the end.of a calendar quarter could not be examined

~

I in this manner, and the records of those employed by other than four i

categories of NRC licensees are not submitted to the NRC.

4.4' Transient Workers per Calendar Year 4.

~

Since the number of transient workers per calendar cuarter comprise only a small percentsge of the total r A er of individuals terminating each p ar, it was n:ided to :.% nge the criteH a cuch that the r m ords of more wrkers would be c amined.

?-

transients th'at was found among the-individuals terminating during each Ih of the five years 1977 through 1981. This has not been done for the 1982 data because not all of it has yet been computerized.

One can see that the numbe'r of these workers ~ has nearly doubled since 1977.

The average l

dose, howeverd has declined somewhat since then and remains at about one The icker portion of the table shows the number and doses of workers

7 in Section 3.1) Tables 15a and 15b are presented.

Table 15a shows the actual distribution of these tr nsient workers' doses as determined from the above-described termination reports and compares it with the distri-bution of the whole body doses as they would have appeared in a comoila-tion of the annual statistical reports submitted by each of the nuclear power facilities.

During each of the years shown, there was an increasing number of transient workers who were counted more than once.

Some indi-vidualgwerereportedby.asmanyasninedifferentfacilities.

In 1977 the2M3transientsthatreceivedameasurabledosewerecn"atedas 6,341 workers.

By 1980 tM nuaber bad grown to 4,930 transients who were probably courlt(dgs 10,756' workers since they were employed at several facilities.Cuey incurred a collective dose of 6,028 man-rems, an average dosc of 1.10 rems, and an average measurable dose of 1.22 rems.

In 1981 these figures decreased somewhat, and there were 4,737 annual transients who received measurable doses that totaled to he 5,109 man-rems.

This

. yielded ar, average.uasurable dose of 1.08 rems.

Table 15b illustrates the impact that the multiple reporting of these transient workers had on the staff's ccmpilations of the annual statisti-cal reports for the years 1977 through 1981.

Since each nuclear power facility reports the distribution of the deses received by w rkers while monitored by that particular facility during the year, one would expect that a summation of these reports would result in_ individuals being f-.

counted several times in dose ranges lower than the range in which their total accumulated dose (the sum of the personnel monitoring results incurred at each facility during the year) would actually place them.

the Thus, while the total collective dose would.t u.ain about the cene, sould number of workers, their dose distribution, and their average dose

~ be affected by this multiple reporting.

This was found to be true beccuse too few workers were reported in the higher dose ranges.

For example, in 1977 the c apiled an,ual reports indicated that 270 indiv duals received i

doses crester than fice rems, while the admstad distrNtion ~,dicated

' that tEere were 'at least 351 su:h g riers.'

This res.:lte in an a,erye -

msurabh dese of 0.80 rems :su.et 1%ar. the 0.74 i en J nir M f rom tne compiled reports.

Althougn the nu.ber of these transien:.orkers incrtased from 3 161 in 1977 to 5;264 in 1981, the nun er of them with deses exceed-s ing five tcms has remained at about 50 except for 1980 when the number increased to 92.

In general, hca ver, since the number of transient workers receiving measurable doses is only about five percent of the total number receiving measurable doses during the year, their' impact on most of'the statistics derived from compilations of the annual summary reports'is not very great.

4.5 Temporary Workers Per Calendar Year

In order to complete the examination of the doses received by the short-

[

term workers employed at nuclear power facilities, Table 16 summarizes the' data compiled on " temporary workers".

Temporary workers were defined to be those individuals who began and ended their employment at only one nuclear power facility during the' calendar year.

One can see from Table 16 that the number of these individuals has grown during the last few years, but appears to have levelled off to~about 28,000 workers with measurable doses in 1980 and 1981.

Comparison of these figures with those in Table 15b reveals that these workers comprised 36% of the total number of workers 14[ M frJREG-0713 OCC EXP b

4.6 Age and Dose Distribution of Terminated Workers Since some of:the termination reports provide the birth date of the individual, one could examine these records and deter.Wne the age and dose distributions of workers that terminated during the year.

Table 17.

indicates the results of such examinations for the years 1975, 1978, 1980 and 1981 for power reactor personnel.

One can see that the age and dose distributions for personnel terminating during these four years has remained about the same with more than 50% of the individuals being less than 35 years of age at termination each year, from 1975 to 1981 there was an increase of 8% in the collective dose incurred oy these younger workers (less than 35 years old) the largest increase being in the collec-tive dose received by 25 to 29 year olds which went from 20% to 24%.

Most of the other age groups incurred collective doses more comparable to their fraction of the total number of personnel.

Figure frigraphically displays the age and dose distributions of those workers terminating during 1981 for whom a birth date was reported.

4.7 _ Career Doses The termination data also permit estimation of the whole body doses accumulated by the wsrLers nonitored by nuclear poaer facilities when they terminate their employr..ent.

This was done by su aing e:ich indi-vidual's periods of exposure and corresponding whole body doses to give the worker's cumulative years of exposure and occupational dose that he received durinc his ' career." The termination data fcr sr e 207,000 individusis ti in-ting fron rucinar ;aer f ecilitie; h'..( en 1977 and 1932 u re

.ir.ed in this Mr.ner.

The cv'ulative perieds of p c ;ent aM ahole lay doses ere it.en brcken dcen into ten r ar ges for the leregth of employment and fifteen ranges for the cumulative doses.

Apt.+ndMr W -.:

contains these detailed dase distributions, and Table 18? sum arizes tne data and presents the average measurable doses, the highest cumulative deses, and the years during which the highest doses were accunulated.

One can quickly see that more than half of the terminated individuals (120,879) has been exposed for less than 90 days and that nearly balf of this number (58,774) did not receive a measurable dose.

A good +24beFof these were probably visitors, such as reporters, company representatives, consultants, etc. that were monitored for identification and convenience.

It is primarily for the reason that the average measurable dpseg are-is shown rather than the average dose per monitored individual.V.Ths' fable li shows that the average measurable dose ranges from 0.53 rems for periods less than 90 days to a high of 13.90 rems for the 15 to 20 year period.

In general, the data shows that the a.erage annual dose (estimated by dividing the average dose 'for the period by the average number of years in the period) tends to decline with increasing length of employment.

However, since there is such a small number of workers have longer periods of employment, these average doses may change appreciably as more data is collected and analyzed.

It should also be pointed out that these 16,- n [ '? I $
