Program Evaluation Reports (PERs) and Program Evaluation Plans (PEPs)
NIOSH is committed to applying the best available science in dose reconstructions. In keeping with this commitment, completed cases with probabilities of causation less than 50% are reviewed as relevant new information becomes available. The results of these reviews are described in a Program Evaluation Report (PER). The PER details the effect, if any, of the new information on the completed dose reconstruction. If it appears that the compensability of a completed dose reconstruction may be effected, NIOSH is committed to working with the Department of Labor to reopen and rework the dose reconstruction, as appropriate. A Program Evaluation Plan (PEP) describes plans for evaluating specific program details or issues.

Program Evaluation Report: Evaluation of Incomplete Internal Dosimetry Records from Idaho, Argonne - East and Argonne - West National Laboratories
PDF 21 KB (3 pages)
Document Number: OCAS-PER-017 Rev-00
About this Document: New document to determine which
previously completed claims require
revisions as a result of new dosimetry
data at INL, ANL-E, and ANL-W.
Approved: September 11, 2007
Summary: Additional requests were sent in August/September 2006. By April of 2007 a response was received for each of the request. These requests resulted in receiving internal dose data for 83 claims, 62 from INL, 14 from ANL-W, 6 from ANL-E and one with additional records from both INL and ANL-W.
Some of these claims have already been returned to NIOSH for new dose reconstruction for various reasons. The new dose reconstructions will consider the new data received. NIOSH is requesting the remaining claims be returned for a new dose reconstruction. This consists of 68 individual claims. A list of these claims will be forwarded to the Department of Labor. A new dose reconstruction will be completed for each of the claims using the new data.
- Program Evaluation Plan: Evaluation of Incomplete Internal Dosimetry Records from Idaho, Argonne - East and Argonne - West National Laboratories
PDF 17 KB (3 pages)
Document Number: OCAS-PEP-0017 Rev-00
About this Document: In April/May 2006, while reviewing dose reconstructions (DR) for an Idaho National
Laboratory (INL) case and an Argonne National Laboratory - East (ANL-E) case, a
particular notation ("no recordable dose") in the INL dosimetry response, as well as a
similar notation ("no internal dose") in the ANL-E dosimetry response, was questioned.
Both the INL and ANL-E points of contact (POC) were contacted and asked if this
notation meant that the energy employee (EE) was not monitored. The INL POC
responded that this notation meant that this particular EE may have been monitored but
no internal dose was assigned. The ANL-E POC provided information that the EE had
internal dose records for most years of his employment. [Although Argonne National
Laboratory - West (ANL-W) requests are sent thru the Chicago Operations Office, the
dosimetry records are provided by INL.]
In May/June 2006, it was determined that INL/ANL-W/ANL-E did not consistently
include internal dose data in all of their individual dosimetry responses and that
additional requests were needed for submitted cases with a POC less than 50%. For a
particular EE, INL/ANL-W/ANL-E either provided all or none of the EE's internal
dosimetry records. A good indicator that there may be internal dosimetry data is that the
OCAS-INT-004 (check-box form) may have a hand-written note next to the internal
dosimetry status section that says - "no internal dose" or "no recordable dose."

Worker Outreach Activities
Based on a recommendation from the Advisory Board to provide workers and site experts with opportunities to participate in developing the technical documents used in dose reconstruction, NIOSH established a Worker Outreach Program.
At Worker Outreach Meetings, current and former DOE and AWE employees have opportunities to obtain information about Site Profiles, Technical Basis Documents, and Technical Information Bulletins, and to provide information for consideration and possible use in dose reconstruction. This process is valuable to ensure that the technical documents used in dose reconstruction contain correct and useful information.
Below are the Worker Outreach Activities for ANLE:
