Files Description: PAN_PEOPLE_ORID is the name of the key database containing personnel data for Pantex workers. Files in group one consist of original dosimetry data submitted to Los Alamos National Laboratory from the Pantex site. The second group of files PANTEX.FDF and PANTX.FDF consist of 1990 submissions from Pensions and Benefits Incorporated. PX_EXP is a DATATRIEVE database containing dates of exposure to one rem of external ionizing radiation. The data in this file was hand-calculated from data found on microfilmed Pantex records also in the custody of the Epidemiology section. The files were created to update vital status information for Pantex workers. This information, however, was never added to the main database, PAN_PEOPLE_ORID.
