Hi Frikkie,

Just returned home and can provide you with some information.

(1) Canada and the UK have a Centralized Registry, primarily for 
specific class of radiation workers. In the UK they are called 
Classified Workers, and in Canada, they are those that come under the 
regulatory authority of the CNSC, or the specific Provinces, and, the 
individual must exceed a specific dose threshold.

(2) In the USA there is the PADS system (Personnel Access Data 
System) and is used primarily for transient nuclear power reactor 
workers. This is not used for permanent staff.

There are probably other registries but I don't have that information 
for you at this time. I can provide you with contact information for 
the UK and Canada if you would like.

Regards,

Sandy
