This report summarizes the occupational radiation exposure information that has been reported to the NRC's Radiation Exposure Information Reporting System (REIRS) by nuclear power facilities and certain other categories of NRC licensees during the years 1969 through 1984. The bulk of the data presented in the report was obtained from annual radiation exposure reports submitted in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 20.407. Data on workers terminating their employment at certain NRC licensed facilities were obtained from reports submitted pursuant to 10 CFR 20.408. The 1984 annual reports submitted by about 500 licensees indicated that approximately 195,000 individuals were monitored, 171,000 of whom were monitored by nuclear power facilities. They incurred an average individual dose of 0.30 rem (cSv) and an average measureable dose of 0.55 rem (cSv). Termination radiation exposure reports were analyzed to reveal that about 67,500 individuals completed their employment with one or more of the 500 covered licensees during 1984. Some 66,100 of these individuals terminated from power reactor facilities, and about 5500 of them were considered to be transient workers who received an average dose of 0.91 rem (cSv).
