Table 3.2 Checklist for Worker Exposures

DOE-HDBK-1100-2004

This evaluation may be performed more explicitly by assigning a qualitative term to each

scenario. Typical qualitative terms such as "negligible, low, moderate, severe, and catastrophic"

represent the order-of-magnitude consequences found in MIL-STD-882C.
