(Revised October 4, 2006)
PDF 298 KB (38 pages)
Revision Includes: Revision initiated for biennial review and to incorporate recent
direction from NIOSH to include DOL review comments. Revised to
change from a page change (Rev 00 PC-1-A) to a revision (Rev 01-
A) as a result of worker outreach comments from PACE Local 5-689
and SPFPA Local 66 04/16/2004 meeting. Approved issue of
Revision 01. Section 2.3.12 was added to reflect new information on
building X-770 facilities. Table 2-15 was also added. Three
references were added. Added a Purpose and Scope subsection to
the Introduction (Section 2.0). Three references were added. No
sections were deleted. No further changes occurred as a result of
internal formal review. Incorporates NIOSH formal review
comments. This revision results in no change to the assigned dose.

Revision Includes: Changes were made to the document as per OCAS comments. The
Uranium daughter intake values were corrected in Table 4-2.
Footnote f was added: “Uranium progeny intakes calculated from
recorded or estimated equilibrium fractions with the Uranium parent
radionuclides.” Changed the term, “claimant favorable” to “favorable
to claimant(s)” as appropriate throughout the document.
Incorporates formal internal and NIOSH review comments, such as
revising wording of footnote “e” in Table 4-2. Equation 4-1 for the
geometric standard deviation (GSD) has been deleted along with
citations to the GSD in the text and in Table 4-2. This follows
ORAUT-PROC-0031 guidance. Deleted Table 4-7 due to the data
being limited and not adding value. Revised Section 4.2.3 to provide
a better description of the calculations.

(Page Change Revision August 20, 2007)
PDF 342 KB (59 pages)
Page Change Revision Includes: Approved page change initiated to clarify information provided in
Section 6.3.2.2.1 on page 20 and the application of neutron dose.
The need for a PER as stated in Rev. 01 of this TBD is not correct.
No PER is required since the method of assigning unmonitored
neutron dose remained the same through the previous TBD revisions
(i.e. the application of a neutron to photon ratio of 0.2, see Section
6.3.4.2.4). Added NIOSH date reference in Section 6.7 on page 47.
Added an Attributions and Annotations section in Section 6.8 on
page 48. No further changes occurred as a result of formal internal
and NIOSH formal review.

Program Evaluation Reports (PERs) and Program Evaluation Plans (PEPs)
NIOSH is committed to applying the best available science in dose reconstructions. In keeping with this commitment, completed cases with probabilities of causation less than 50% are reviewed as relevant new information becomes available. The results of these reviews are described in a Program Evaluation Report (PER). The PER details the effect, if any, of the new information on the completed dose reconstruction. If it appears that the new information may result in an increase in dose for a completed dose reconstruction with a probability of causation of less than 50%, NIOSH is committed to working with the Department of Labor to reopen and rework the dose reconstruction, as appropriate. A Program Evaluation Plan (PEP) describes plans for evaluating specific program details or issues.
At the current time, no PERs or PEPs specific to Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant have been developed. However, we have developed PERs and PEPs that pertain to multiple sites. To view all PERs and PEPs that have been developed, please refer to the Program Evaluation Reports (PERs) and Program Evaluation Plans (PEPs) page.

Worker Outreach Activities
Based on a recommendation from the Advisory Board to provide workers and site experts with opportunities to participate in developing the technical documents used in dose reconstruction, NIOSH established a Worker Outreach Program.
At Worker Outreach Meetings, current and former DOE and AWE employees have opportunities to obtain information about Site Profiles, Technical Basis Documents, and Technical Information Bulletins, and to provide information for consideration and possible use in dose reconstruction. This process is valuable to ensure that the technical documents used in dose reconstruction contain correct and useful information.
