Internal dose reconstruction under Part B of the energy employees compensation act.

The reconstruction of internal doses under Part B of the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act differs in multiple ways from that used in a typical operational setting. There are, for example, no limits at or above which doses must be assessed; all doses, including unmonitored or potentially undetected doses, must be reconstructed. In addition, the primary dose of concern is that delivered to the organ in which the cancer originated, and only the dose delivered to that organ prior to the time the cancer was diagnosed is relevant.
