Addendum to University of Rochester AEP (SEC-00140) 

Special Exposure Cohort Evaluation Report

NIOSH presented a Special Exposure Cohort (SEC) evaluation report (NIOSH, 2009) regarding the 

University of Rochester Atomic Energy Project (AEP) to the Presidential Advisory Board on 

Radiation and Worker Health (the Board) during the Board’s regular meeting on October 20-22, 2009. 

The report evaluated the feasibility of reconstructing radiation doses of all employees of the 

Department of Energy, its predecessor agencies, and its contractors and subcontractors who worked at 

the University of Rochester Atomic Energy Project in Rochester, New York, from September 1, 1943 

through October 30, 1971. As requested by the Board, NIOSH has made additional efforts to locate 

and capture data to support internal radiation dose reconstruction for the class under evaluation, which 

is believed to exist. This evaluation report addendum provides an overview of NIOSH’s additional 

data capture efforts for the University of Rochester AEP. 

NOTE: This Evaluation Report Addendum only addresses those sections in the University of 

Rochester AEP Evaluation Report that require discussion; therefore, the section numbering is not 

contiguous. The sections requiring additional discussion of data capture efforts begin below. 

Petition Evaluation Report Summary

Class Evaluated by NIOSH (in the Evaluation Report)

All employees of the Department of Energy, its predecessor agencies, and its contractors and 

subcontractors who worked at the University of Rochester Atomic Energy Project in Rochester, New 

York, from September 1, 1943 through October 30, 1971. 

NIOSH-Proposed Class(es) to be Added to the SEC 

NIOSH finds that additional data capture efforts have not yielded any information that would support 

internal dose reconstruction for the class under evaluation. Therefore, NIOSH maintains its 

recommendation that was presented in the original evaluation report. 

3.3 NIOSH-Proposed Class(es) to be Added to the SEC

Based on its full research of the class under evaluation, NIOSH has defined a single class of 

employees for which NIOSH cannot estimate radiation doses with sufficient accuracy. The NIOSHproposed class includes all employees of the Department of Energy, its predecessor agencies, and its 

contractors and subcontractors who worked at the University of Rochester Atomic Energy Project in 

Rochester, New York, from September 1, 1943 through October 30, 1971, for a number of work days 

aggregating at least 250 work days, occurring either solely under this employment or in combination 

with work days within the parameters established for one or more other classes of employees in the 

SEC. The class under evaluation was accepted (see Section 3.0 below) because internal monitoring 

data are very limited and insufficient for dose reconstruction purposes.

4.0 Data Sources Reviewed by NIOSH to Evaluate the Class

NIOSH has searched for and captured additional documents related to University of Rochester AEP, 

based on various sources of information in addition to the due diligence data capture steps that are 

undertaken with every SEC evaluation. Below is a summary and timeline of the data capture efforts 

by NIOSH since the October 2009 Board meeting. 

4.5 NIOSH Site Research Database

NIOSH has performed additional data captures for University of Rochester AEP and an additional 162 

documents were captured and uploaded into the SRDB, which at the time this report was prepared 

contained 1158 documents related to the University of Rochester AEP. The various data capture 

efforts and locations where information was found are summarized below including a timeline of 

NIOSH’s efforts that took place since the October 2009 Board meeting. 

4.5.1 New York State Agencies

During the discussion of SEC-00140 evaluation with the Board in October 2009, Board Chairman Dr. 

Melius indicated that he would like to inquire with some of his contacts at various New York State 

Agencies whether he could find information where health and safety records from the University of 

Rochester might be located. In December 2009, Dr. Melius informed NIOSH that he had not obtained 

any information from New York State agencies that would indicate that those agencies had any 

records pertaining to the University of Rochester. 

In addition, NIOSH has checked its data capture records, which indicated that the following New 

York State Agencies had been contacted by NIOSH in 2007 as part of their routine checking for 

records for EEOICPA sites (NIOSH 2007). 

• New York State Department of Labor, Division of Safety and Health 

• New York State Energy Research and Development Authority

• New York State Department of Environmental Conservation 

• Bureau of Environmental Radiation Protection and Environmental Exposure Investigations 

No data relevant to internal dose reconstruction were located at these locations by NIOSH at that time 

and no additional data were captured since October 2009. 

4.5.2 Hanford 

Board Member Dr. Lockey provided information obtained from one of his contacts at the University 

of Rochester, that Rochester records might have been transferred to Hanford or Oak Ridge. This 

information refers to documents that once belonged to Dr. J. Newell Stannard, who spent a large part 

of his career at the University of Rochester. 
SEC-00140 Addendum 05-10-10 University of Rochester AEP 

Page 5 of 18 

A search request by NIOSH to Hanford for University of Rochester keywords yielded approximately 

150 pages of search results (NIOSH 2010) and was followed up by NIOSH with a formal data capture 

request. The request specifically included over 70 boxes containing a collection of records that were 

given to Hanford by Dr. Stannard and which contained records related to the writing of his book 

“Radioactivity and Health: A History”. Hanford had difficulty locating the requested records and 

indicated that all or part of the collection may have been transferred to other locations, such as the 

Washington State University (WSU) U.S. Transuranium and Uranium Registries (USTUR) or the 

Seattle Federal Records Center. Eventually, two boxes of records related to University of Rochester 

were retrieved by Hanford from the Seattle Federal Records Center. Indications are that a number of 

boxes were also transferred to WSU as discussed in the following section. After Hanford completed 

classification review of the documents, NIOSH was able to capture 71 documents related to 

University of Rochester AEP. The 71 captured document titles are listed in the Appendix. They 

consist mainly of the following types of documents: 

• University of Rochester AEP research and development reports to the AEC (these mainly 

consist of reports on biological properties and effects of radionuclides on animals and humans 

and other topics related to the specific Rochester research programs) – (62 documents)

• Box contents and Table of content lists - (5 documents) 

• Papers presented at 1959 bioassay symposium at Rochester - (2 documents) 

• Unspecified technical reports and papers (2 documents) 

None of the documents captured at Hanford were relevant for SEC issues or contained data useful for 

internal dose reconstruction of University of Rochester AEP claims. 

4.5.3 Washington State University U.S. Uranium and Transuranium Registries 

Based on information from Hanford, NIOSH contacted WSU directly to locate part of the requested 

boxes that might have been transferred there by Hanford in the mid-1990’s. WSU had trouble 

matching identifying numbers from Hanford’s record transfer sheets because some or all of the 

collection may have been re-boxed. After interviewing former records personnel, it appears that 

Hanford did not transfer the entire Newell Stannard collection to WSU, but only part thereof, because 

of classification concerns. Eventually two boxes were located at WSU that appeared to have been part 

of the collection. They were reviewed by NIOSH and did not contain any University of Rochester 

records (they were related to dog studies at the University of California Davis). Additional 

information also indicated that some of the reports contained in the original boxes may now be located 

in the collections of the WSU library system. A search of the WSU library catalog yielded some 

search results and six documents pertaining to the University of Rochester were captured. 

The six documents collected are listed in the Appendix. They consist of: 

• University of Rochester AEP research and development reports to the AEC (these mainly 

consist of reports on biological properties and effects of radionuclides on animals and humans 

and other topics related to the specific Rochester research programs) – (4 documents) 

• National Nuclear Energy Series, Division VI, Vol. 3 – (1 document) 

• Radiation Resarch Supplement 5, 1964 – (1 document) 
SEC-00140 Addendum 05-10-10 University of Rochester AEP 

Page 6 of 18 

None of the documents captured at WSU were relevant for SEC issues or contained data useful for 

reconstructing internal doses for University of Rochester claims. 

4.5.4 University of Tennessee Knoxville, Special Collections Library

While researching documents that may have been located at WSU-USTUR, NIOSH noted that the 

WSU- USTUR National Radiobiology Archives public website indicated that part of the “Stannard 

collection” that is in possession of WSU was complementing a collection that is located at the 

University of Tennessee (UT), Knoxville Special Collections Library (Document Archives, 2010). A 

search of the UT library system confirmed that indeed they possessed a collection of Dr. Newell 

Stannards papers consisting of 26 boxes. A data capture trip to UT was completed in March 2009 and 

51 documents were captured by NIOSH. The documents captured are listed in the Appendix of this 

document. They consist of the following: 

• Scientific Journal and Book Chapter publications (16 documents) 

• General technical and other miscellaneous reports (11 documents) 

• Handwritten calculations and notes (10 documents) 

• Invitations and trip reports (4 documents) 

• Lecture and speaking notes transcripts (3 documents) 

• Box content lists (2 documents) 

• Publication lists (2 documents)

• AEC Research and Development Report abstract (1 document) 

• Correspondence and photographs (1 document) 

• Interview transcript (1 document) 

None of the documents captured at UT Knoxville Special Collections Library were relevant for SEC 

issues or contained data useful for reconstructing internal doses for University of Rochester claims. 

4.5.5 NARA College Park, Maryland 

This data capture effort was on-going when the SEC-00140 evaluation report was presented to the 

Board in October 2009 but it was expected from the finding aids, that the documents located at 

College Park were unlikely to contain personal monitoring records. Several documents related to the 

University of Rochester were received from College Park in November 2009 and an additional data 

capture trip was completed in February of 2010 after a new finding aid was located. Overall 34 

documents were captured pertaining to University of Rochester in some form. The documents 

captured are listed in the Appendix and they consist of the following: 

• Correspondence between AEC and University of Rochester AEP – (20 documents) 

• Unspecified research reports, progress reports and summaries (6 documents) 

• Misc. memoranda and correspondence related to URAEP (6 documents) 

• Trip reports (2 documents) 

None of the documents captured at NARA College Park, Maryland were relevant for SEC issues or 

contained data useful for reconstructing internal doses for University of Rochester claims. 
SEC-00140 Addendum 05-10-10 University of Rochester AEP 

Page 7 of 18 

4.5.6 Oak Ridge Operations Office Vault

This search was to confirm that no classified information on University of Rochester is contained in 

records that were formerly located at ORAU. This effort involved a review of 46 boxes of records and 

some records were found regarding film badge services provided by University of Rochester to other 

sites. This data was requested by NIOSH and is undergoing classification review at this time and has 

not yet been received by NIOSH. The reviewers’ reports indicated that no data was located that would 

be relevant to SEC issues or contained data useful for reconstructing internal doses for University of 

Rochester claims. 

4.5.7 Timeline of data capture efforts

SEC-00140 Addendum 05-10-10 University of Rochester AEP

7.5 Summary of Feasibility Findings for Petition SEC-00140

The original evaluation report evaluated the feasibility for completing dose reconstructions for 

employees at the University of Rochester AEP from September 1, 1943 through October 30, 1971. 

NIOSH found that the available monitoring records, process descriptions and source term data 

available are not sufficient to complete dose reconstructions for the evaluated class of employees. 

This addendum to the University of Rochester AEP evaluation report (SEC-00140) outlines the 

additional data capture efforts by NIOSH to locate data on internal radiation monitoring for workers at 

the University of Rochester AEP in order to evaluate the feasibility of estimating with sufficient 

accuracy the doses received from potential exposures for all employees of the Department of Energy, 

its predecessor agencies, and its contractors and subcontractors who worked at the University of 

Rochester Atomic Energy Project in Rochester, New York, from September 1, 1943 through October 

30, 1971. 

Personal monitoring and/or area monitoring data are not always required to bound doses at a given 

facility. However, if these monitoring data are not available, NIOSH must have detailed source term 

and process information to develop a sufficiently accurate exposure model. NIOSH has determined 

that it still does not have adequate internal or external monitoring data for members of the evaluated 

class from September 1, 1943 through December 31, 1952. Internal monitoring data are insufficient 

for reconstructing or bounding dose for any of the evaluation period, September 1, 1943 through 

October 30, 1971. NIOSH has also determined that the available source term and process information 

are inadequate to bound internal dose in the absence of internal monitoring data. NIOSH has 

therefore concluded that internal dose reconstruction is not feasible for the University of Rochester 

AEP from September 1, 1943 through October 30, 1971.
