Series Description: This series consists of files listing radiation exposures for employees at the X- 10, Y-12, and K-25 sites between 1943 and 1988 for the Oak Ridge Facility Comparison Study. The Y-12 and K-25 data were collected in 1991; the X-10 in 1992. Each file lists the employee name and social security number; employment history (Oak Ridge facility hire and termination dates); annual external radiation exposures for skin and penetrating radiation; radiation protection standards for skin and penetrating doses; urinalysis reports giving year, radionuclides in the sample (e.g., uranium), and number of analyses; and in vivo monitoring results giving year, radionuclide, number of analyses, range, units, and average percentage of Radiation Protection Standard. Some files also include Occupational Radiation Dose Reports containing employee name and social security and employee numbers; reporting period; year; external dose equivalent for skin, extremity, and whole body; internal, annual, and committed effective dose equivalents; and committed and cumulative effective dose equivalents. All results in these reports are given in rems. Folders are labeled ORFCOM Exposures.

Data Elements: 7-8, 16, 24-25, 30, 42, 59, 62, 65, 69
