REMS System Information

The REMS System has undergone an extensive redesign effort. One of the primary objectives of the REMS system redesign effort was to allow more open access to the data in REMS. This objective resulted in the development of several modes of accessing the REMS data. These are:

• Published reports (see the new Annual Report)
• Web Page
• REMS Query Software

The system redesign effort focused on allowing a wide audience of users with various backgrounds and experience to gain access to REMS data. The result is a system that has multiple pathways into the data. Each pathway is designed to meet the data needs of the user while requiring the minimum resources in time, training, and software. Basically, the more detailed information that the user requires, the more complex the data access becomes, which requires more resources and user capabilities.

Users are encouraged to seek a pathway of accessing REMS that is comensurate with their data needs. For most users, the data in the annual report, or the summary data available using the web page query tool is sufficient.

For those researchers that require more detailed information, contact the DOE REMS Project Officer to discuss obtaining additional radiation exposure data.  Access to this data is restricted by the Privacy Act of 1974 and System of Records #35.
