| id | CER-assigned ID number | A unique identifier assigned by the Center for Epidemiologic Research (CER), Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Research (ORISE) is provided for the worker. CERID ranges from 040793 to 419494. CERID number 86454 does not have a leading zero. | | | TWO |
| sex | sex | The sex of the worker is indicated. SEX is indicated on each file in the data file set for convenience. | | hfw89sex | TWO |
| birth | year of birth (+ 1800 or 1900) | The worker's year of birth is provided (e.g. 1889). BIRTH ranges from 1889 to 1961. BIRTH is indicated on each file in the data file set for convenience. | | hfw89na | TWO |
| yearext | year of external dosimetry | The year in which the worker received an external radiation dose is provided. YEAREXT ranges from 44 to 89. Add 1900 to value (e.g. 44 indicates 1944) | | | TWO |
| facility | facility | The Hanford facility is always indicated. Codes: 01 indicates Hanford facility | | | TWO |
| gam_xray | penetrating radiation dose, mSv | The estimate of penetrating radiation dose the worker received during the year is provided. GAM_XRAY ranges from 0.0 to 24.5 mSv. Measurement Units: Millisieverts (mSv) Penetrating dose estimates are based on a selected calibration of a multi-element film dosimeter to a high energy source of gamma radiation (e.g. radium: 1944-1982, Cs-137: 1982 to date), and to 16 and 59-keV x-rays. X-ray and gamma ray doses were determined separately from dosimeter responses. Only 35% of the x-ray dose was considered to be a penetrating (i.e. whole body) dose. | | | TWO |
| neutron | neutron radiation dose, mSv | The estimate of neutron radiation dose the worker received during the year is provided. NEUTRON ranges from 0.0 to 2.4 mSv. Measurement Units: Millisieverts (mSv) Neutron dose estimates are based on a selected calibration of a dosimeter to sources of neutron radiation (e.g. plutonium-239 tetrafluoride, californium-252). | | | TWO |
| tritium | tritium radiation dose, mSv | The estimate of tritium radiation dose the worker received during the year is provided. TRITIUM is 0.0 mSv for each of the workers except one. Not available is indicated for this worker. Measurement Units: Millisieverts (mSv) Tritium dose estimates are based on internal dosimetry models and urinalysis for tritium excretion from the body. | | hfw89n70 | TWO |
| totalpen | total whole-body penetrating dose, mSv | The estimate of total whole body penetrating radiation dose the worker received during the year is provided. TOTALPEN ranges from 0.0 to 24.5 mSv. Measurement Units: Millisieverts (mSv) TOTALPEN is the sum of the gamma ray, 35% of the x-ray (portion considered penetrating), the neutron and tritium dose estimates. | | | TWO |
| xray | x-ray dose, mSv | The estimate of x-ray radiation dose the worker received during the year is provided. XRAY ranges from 0.0 to 1.4 mSv. Measurement Units: Millisieverts (mSv) X-ray dose estimates are based on a selected calibration of a multi-element film dosimeter to 16 and 59-keV x-rays. Only 35% of the x-ray dose was considered to be a penetrating (i.e. whole body) dose. | | | TWO |
| extrem | extremity dose, mSv | The estimate of radiation dose to the extremities (hands, lower arms, feet) the worker received during the year is provided. EXTREM ranges from 0.5 to 26.2 mSv. Measurement Units: Millisieverts (mSv) Extremity dose estimates are based on a selected calibration of extremity dosimeters to a particular source of radiation (e.g uranium, strontium-90). | | hfw89n70 | TWO |
| seq_no | Sequence number of row | Sequence number of row | | | TWO |
