Illness and Injury Surveillance, Radiation Exposure and Epidemiologic Reports
The Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) produces a variety of epidemiologic, health surveillance and radiation exposure reports for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and other government agencies. These reports often fulfill agency requests for customized data, or support the routine review of health assessment programs.
A list of ORISE reports focused on occupational exposure and worker health can be found below.
Illness and Injury Surveillance Reports
- DOE Illness and Injury Surveillance Program (IISP) reports
- Reports summarizing the results of epidemiologic surveillance for occupational health issues at 14 DOE sites.
Radiation Exposure Reports
- DOE Radiation Exposure Monitoring System (REMS) reports
- Occupational radiation exposure reports (available in PDF format) since 1992 with analysis of data and trends in data.
- U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Radiation Exposure Information and Reporting System (REIRS) reports
- Annual reports since 1995 (available in PDF format).
