(4) Date and time of the event;
(5) The results of any evaluations or assessments, including:
(a) Estimates of each individual's dose;
(b) The levels of radiation and concentrations of radioactive material involved;
(c) The cause of the elevated exposures, dose rates, or concentrations; and
(d) Corrective steps taken or planned to ensure against a recurrence, including the schedule for achieving conformance with applicable limits, ALARA constraints, generally applicable environmental standards, and associated license or registration conditions.
4.53.3.2 Each report filed pursuant to 4.53 shall include for each occupationally overexposed individual exposed: the name, Social Security account number, and date of birth.
