AW: [ RadSafe ] Central Dose registry

[Rainer.Facius at dlr.de]

Frikkie and all:

In Germany the Federal Office for Radiation Protection (Bundesamt für Strahlenschutz BfS) <http://www.bfs.de/bfs/Impressum>  (http://www.bfs.de/bfs?setlang=en <http://www.bfs.de/bfs?setlang=en> ) maintains a nationwide registry where occupational exposures of all radiation workers - since 2003 including aircrew - are filed for decades.

Regards, Rainer

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
