The article is a compilation of occupational radiation exposures at commercial light-water-cooled reactors (LWRs) from 1969 to 1975 and updates previous information that covered exposures through 1974. The information was derived from reports submitted to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in accordance with requirements of individual plant technical specifications and the Code of Federal Regulations. The collective dose to personnel (man-rems per reactor per year) at LWRs was greater in 1975 than in 1974. Although the average exposure per individual remained at 0.8 rem/year, the average number of personnel receiving measurable exposures per reactor increased in 1975.
