Radiation Dose Reconstruction
Whether you need radiation dose reconstruction for compensation programs, epidemiological studies, accident or incident assessment, or environmental exposures, ORAU offers you a team of:
- Records specialists experienced in
- Experienced in retrieving, validating, and analyzing archived data for both individuals and facilities,
- converting hard-copy data to electronic form, and
- designing and maintaining information systems to preserve data for future use.
- Health physicists expert in
- analyzing monitoring data or operational information to determine exposure conditions across both time and space
- producing reliable estimates of workers’ absorbed doses
Key to our process are detailed “site profiles.” These describe operations, monitoring methodologies and their sensitivities, as well as environmental and medical exposure conditions at various facilities in the weapons complex.
If you don’t have exposure data for some of your workers, we have developed statistical methods to compensate for that and to analyze co-worker data to estimate doses to unmonitored workers.
You also want to communicate and reach out to your workers and other stakeholders throughout the dose reconstruction process. ORAU is experienced in worker outreach, worker interviews, and stakeholder communications. We have experts in house to develop communications plans that address both the workers’ and public’s concerns and needs.
