Selecting Data

• Total Number Monitored

The number of monitored individuals reported by the site.
• Number With Meas. TEDE Dose

The number of individuals receiving TEDE doses above the minimum detection level of the dosimetry.
• Total Collective Dose (TEDE)

The sum of the TEDE for all selected individuals. TEDE is comprised of the external dose (photon and neutron) and the internal dose. Internal dose was calculated using the AEDE methodology from 1989 through 1992. The CEDE methodology (50-year committed dose) was implemented in 1993.
• Average Measurable Dose (TEDE)

The total collective TEDE divided by the number of individuals with measurable TEDE.
• DDE Photon

The collective Deep Dose Equivalent (DDE) from penetrating photon radiation.
• DDE Neutron

The collective Deep Dose Equivalent (DDE) from penetrating neutron radiation.
• SDE-WB (Skin)

The collective shallow dose equivalent to the whole body (SDE-WB). Often referred to as the skin dose.
• SDE-ME (Extremity)

The collective shallow dose equivalent to the maximally exposed extremity (SDE-ME). Often referred to as the extremity dose.
• CEDE

The 50-year collective committed effective dose equivalent (CEDE) from intakes of radioactive material. Implemented in 1993.
• Dose Ranges

The number of individuals receiving TEDE dose within specified dose ranges.

Sorting Data (optional)

Selecting Data Ranges

• Year
• Program Office
• Operations Office
• Site
• Reporting Organization
• Facility Type
• Labor Category
• Occupation
• Monitoring Status

• In any of the scrollable data range fields, to view the current list of entries, click the up and/or down scroll arrows to the right of the entries list.

• Click the desired entry.

 To select a group of sequential entries:

• Click the first entry.
• Hold down the SHIFT key, and click the final entry. (You can scroll the list, if necessary, prior to clicking the final entry.)

• Click the first entry.
• Hold down the CONTROL key, and click subsequent entries. (You can scroll the list, if necessary, prior to clicking additional entries.)

• Hold down the CONTROL key and click the entry to be unselected.

Select Grouping Order

The Grouping Order determines the heirarchy of the results of your query. For example, you could select Year as the 1st Grouping Order, and Sites as the 2nd Grouping Order. This will return a list of results grouped by Year, and then by Site.

You can only select one data item for each Group Order, but you may select the same data item more than once. To clear selections made for a subtotal sort, you must select Clear Form.

Display Results, Clear Form

• To view the results of your query based on selections made on the REMS Data Selection form, click Display Results. While viewing results, you have the option to save the results as a comma delimited file to your computer. The results file is an ASCII file that may be imported into a database or spreadsheet for further analysis.

• Click on Clear Form to reset the form to the default values. In many instances the individual selections cannot be reset without resetting the entire form.
