Population and worker doses at DOE sites and commercial generating stations

Operations of nuclear facilities in the United States for defense and commercial purposes are subject to strict, federally mandated monitoring and reporting requirements to determine radiation exposure from ongoing activities. Radiation exposures for workers and the off-site population are reported annually for each site. This paper includes an overview of doses from the operations and waste management of US Department of Energy (DOE) sites and population doses reported for US commercial nuclear generating plant sites, which are also interim waste-storage facilities for spent reactor fuel.
