| Work Site Assessments work hand-in-hand with in vivo and in vitro data to interpret in vivo and in vitro measurements into dosimetric quantities (click image to enlarge). |
Field Descriptions
A complete listing of work site assessment fields follows. Many of the fields appear only on the data entry forms. For example, reported activities exist on data entry forms, but only the derived (standardized) activities are displayed on data viewing forms.
Quantity
'Quantity' indicates what type of assessment the work site performed (i.e. Dose, Burden, Intake, etc).
Period Category
'Period Category' breaks the assessment period into six categories: Annual, Committed, Instantaneous, Multi-year, Partial Year, and Rate.
Organ/Details
'Organ/Details' contains additional assessment details such as the organ that calculations were performed for (i.e. skeletal burden).
Contaminant(s)
'Contaminant(s)' stores the contaminant (radionuclide or type of radiation) or mixture that assessment calculations were performed for.
Assessment Period: Start Date
'Assessment Period: Start Date' stores the initial date in the time period that was assessed.
Assessment Period: End Date
'Assessment Period: End Date' stores the end date in the time period that was assessed.
Reported Estimates: Value
'Reported Estimates: Value' stores the results of the work site assessment as reported in the hard file (using the same units as the hard file).
Reported Estimates: Uncert
'Reported Estimates: Uncert' stores the uncertainty in the work site assessment result as reported in the hard file (using the same units as in the hard file).
Reported Estimates: Unit
'Reported Estimates: Unit' stores the unit used to report the worksite assessment result in the hard file.
Derived Values: Value
'Derived Values: Value' stores the standardized work site assessment result, which is calculated by converting the recorded assessment result into standardized units: pCi for burdens, rad for absorbed dose, and rem for other doses.
Derived Values: Uncert
'Derived Values: Uncert' stores the standardized uncertainty, which is calculated by converting the reported uncertainty into the standardized units: pCi for burdens, rad for absorbed dose, and rem for other doses.
Derived Values: Unit
'Derived Values: Unit' stores the standardized unit associated with the derived work site assessment result and uncertainty.
AMAD
'AMAD' stores the activity median aerodynamic diameter (AMAD) assumed by the work site in their assessment calculations.
Solubility Class
'Solubility Class' stores the ICRP 30 solubility class or ICRP 66 type that was assumed by the work site in its assessment calculations.
ICRP
'ICRP' contains lists the ICRP models used by the work site in its assessment calculations.
Basis
'Basis' indicates what in vivo and/or in vitro data the work site assessment was based upon.
Comments
'Comments' contains narrative comments that provide clarification of other data and additional details.
Source
'Source' contains the source of work site assessment data – document name and date – in order to expedite access to original hard file documents.
Initials
The 'Initials' field stores the initials of the person who added the work site assessment record to the database.
Entry Date
The 'Entry Date' field stores the date that the work site assessment record was added to the database.
