Site Profile for Ames Laboratory
(Revised January 3, 2012)
 PDF 1.1 MB (90 pages)
Revision initiated to include SEC-00185. Section 1.3.4 was added. Section 1.3 edited to update partial dose reconstruction information and to introduce new SEC. Sections 1.3.1 and 1.3.2 were edited to show inclusion of all workers in those SECs. Expansion of class was inserted in sections of the document as necessary. Section 5.4.1 edited to state environmental doses should be applied to certain Research Building workers. Battelle 2006a was updated to Battelle 2011 and Battelle 2006b was cancelled and replaced with other references. Changes were made to several sections and tables in Sections 5.1 and 6.3. Section 6.3.1.2 was updated to reduce missed dose component of beta doses in Table 6-7. Incorporates formal internal and NIOSH review comments. Constitutes a total rewrite of the document.

Technical Information Bulletins (TIBs)
At the current time, there are no TIBs for the Ames Laboratory.

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 new information
may result in an increase in dose for a completed dose reconstruction with a probability of causation of less than 50%, 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.
Below is a list of links to Ames Laboratory PER and PEP documents. To view all PERs and PEPs that have been developed, please refer to the Program Evaluation Reports (PERs) and Program Evaluation Plans (PEPs) page.

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 the Ames Laboratory:
At the current time, worker outreach activities have not been scheduled.

Advisory Board Work Group on SEC Issues (including the 250 day issue)
This Work Group has two primary responsibilities: 1) To serve as a review body for SEC petitions that result from NIOSH determining that it is unable to reconstruct dose for one or more individuals at a given site (83.14 SEC petition process); 2) To consider potential conditions under which significant personnel exposures might occur (in addition to criticality accidents) in short periods of time (less than 250 days) resulting in health effects. In the case of specific 83.14 petitions, the Work Group may make a recommendation to the Board either in support of the NIOSH recommendation to add a class to the SEC, or in opposition to such. In the case of the 250 day issue, the Work Group should strive to develop a position paper that can be adopted by the Board. In addition, this Work Group is also responsible for reviewing the Dow-Madison SEC petition and related documents, and developing a recommendation for the Board.

Please note that as part of the procedures and processes of the Advisory Board's Work Groups, several kinds of pre-decisional documents may be developed. These documents, which can include white papers, matrices, working drafts, etc., are distributed among the Work Group members as research and background tools to facilitate discussion and deliberation. The discussions during the above meeting may cover a pre-decisional document. Because these types of documents are pre-decisional in nature, may contain sensitive information, and may change over time, they are not posted on our Web site.

Revision Includes: Approved revision to add LAT chest doses for
all periods, skin doses for various parts of the body, and an explanation of
terminology. Sections 3.0 and 3.1 were modified as a result of these changes.
Tables 3-1 through 3-6 were modified and Tables 3-7 and 3-8 were added. The
definition of occupational medical dose was revised and three reference titles
were changed. Wording in Section 6.2.1 about external uranium dose was modified.
Revision made to add unmonitored doses prior to 1953. Section 6.2.1 reworded to
