In 1968, the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) established a program for reporting certain occupational radiation exposure information to a central radiation records repository maintained at the Union Carbide Computing Technology Center, Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Annual summaries (WASH-1350-R1 through WASH-1350-R6) were reported for the years 1968--1973 and included data on AEC contractor employees as well as employees of companies in the private sector licensed by the AEC. In January 1975, the operational functions of the AEC, including the maintenance of records on the occupational radiation exposure of contractor employees were transferred to the Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA) and the AEC's regulatory functions, including the reporting of information on the occupational radiation exposure of licensees were transferred to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). Previous AEC licensees now report to NRC while the contractors reported to ERDA. Radiation exposure data for AEC/ERDA and AEC/ERDA contractor employees for 1974 and 1975 were reported in ERDA 76/119 and ERDA 77-29. This report contains the 1976 data for ERDA and ERDA contractor employees.
