DESCRIPTION 
These records contain the results of whole body counts, urinalysis tests, and thyroid 
counts measuring personnel for exposure to ionizing radiation. They also contain a 
calibration history for the whole body counting equipment. The records include: 
occupational radiation records; bioassay records; whole body count records; individual 
personnel records; and record storage receipts dating back to the late 1940s. There 
are bound notebooks containing log entries of whole body counts, including personnel 
names, dates, and comments; raw spectra data; viewgraphs of whole body counts, 
etc. There are also logbooks containing entries that show the name of the subject, 
date, and a comments section for the whole body count which notes the experiment 
or study for which the count was performed. Raw spectra data of whole body counts 
are also noted. The majority of the records are on microfiche and have been sent to 
the Federal Records Center (FRC), Seattle. There are a few records from 1990 to the 
present retained onsite. Most of the records have been entered into an electronic 
database.
