EMD-82-91 1 (1982-08-24)

handle is hein.gao/gaobabdro0001 and id is 1 raw text is: BY THE U.S. GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE Report To Senator John Glenn , t . RELEASED Actions Being Taken To Help Reduce Occupational Radiation Exposure At C mmercial Nuclear Powerplants Wor kers who operate and maintain com- metcial nuclear powerplants are exposed to lov doses of radiation. Although exposures to individual workers have remained rela- tive ly constant, the total dose received by all nuclear powerplant workers has increased drainatically during the history of nuclear po% erplant operations. Thi i report identifies the extent of the occu- pat onal exposure increase and examines (1) the causes for the increase, (2) the pot ntial impacts of this increase, and (3) Fe eral and industry efforts to reduce occu- pational exposures. Because many of these effo rts have only been recently implemented or ire still in the developmental stage, it is to early to determine how effective these actions will be. Nevertheless, GAO believes th t the actions taken or planned to date are a step in the right direction. \D S7, 119709 GAO/EMD-82-91 AUGUST 24, 1982 5 2 O 3
