This report summarizes the occupational radiation exposure information that has been reported to the U.S.N.R.C. by commercial nuclear power reactors during the years 1969 through 1980. 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 and Regulatory Guide 1.16. Data on workers terminating their employment at nuclear power facilities was obtained from reports submitted pursuant to 10 CFR 20.408. The annual reports submitted by the 69 nuclear power plants that had completed at least one full year of operation as of December 31, 1980, indicated that the number of personnel monitored during 1980 was 133,898 persons and the annual collective dose incurred by these individuals was 53,796 man-rems. The average annual dose for each worker that received a measurable dose was 0.7 rems, and the average collective dose per reactor was 791 man-rems. The termination reports revealed that some 57,800 individuals completed their employment with one or more reactor facilities during 1980. Approximately 3,900 of these workers could be considered transients and they received an average dose of about 1 rem.
