EO3 State the method for

facilities have the right to request reports of that

obtaining radiation dose

exposure as follows:

records.

Upon the request from an individual terminating

employment, records of radiation dose shall be

provided by the DOE facility within 90 days. If

requested, a written estimate of radiation

exposure received by the terminating employee

shall be provided at the time of termination.

Each individual required to be monitored for

radiation exposure at a DOE facility shall receive

a report of that exposure on an annual basis.

Detailed information concerning any individual's

dose shall be made available to the individual

processing, any exposure of an individual to

radiation and/or radioactive material, or planned

special exposure, the contractor shall also provide

that individual with a report on his/her exposure

data included therein. Such a report shall be
