Implementation of ICRP 116 Dose Conversion Coefficients for Reconstructing Organ Dose in a Radiation Compensation Program.

Since 2000, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has used dose conversion coefficients published by the International Commission on Radiation Protection in report 74 (ICRP 74) to determine organ dose from external radiation sources. In 2010, the ICRP issued publication 116 using more realistic phantoms than ICRP 74. NIOSH has developed a Monte Carlo method to sample the energy-organ-specific distribution of the ICRP 116 conversion coefficients to determine the organ dose and the associated uncertainty.

Characterization of exposures to workers covered under the U.S. Energy Employees Compensation Act.

Since the mid-1940s, hundreds of thousands of workers have been engaged in nuclear weapons-related activities for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and its predecessor agencies.
