The Information System on Occupational Exposure (ISOE) was initiated by the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) in 1992 to facilitate the global exchange of dose information. The goal of the program is to provide timely benchmarking of dose performance at nuclear power plants and promote effective dose reduction practices. Currently, over 300 nuclear power plants (70% of the world`s operating plants), representing 17 countries, participate in ISOE making it one of the largest occupational exposure data bases in the world. National regulatory authorities from 11 countries also participate. The recent developments in the ISOE data base and software enhancement will be discussed in this paper. Also, global trends will be presented comparing dose by plant, country, type of reactor, age of reactor, total annual dose, outage dose, dose per outage task and historical dose. Results of software development committee`s work on ACCESS applications for the ISOE data base will be presented. Finally, highlights of technical reports from regional ISOE centers including Illinois, Paris, Tokyo, and Vienna will be summarized.
