The Office of the Inspector General conducted an evaluation to determine (1) the effectiveness of the radiation protection program in limiting employee dosage and (2) if notifications were made when required. We determined the Tennessee Valley Authority’s (TVA) radiation protection program was effective in limiting employee dosage levels during calendar years 2019 and 2020. Additionally, we determined the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and TVA personnel were notified, as required, when personnel dosage met regulatory milestones. However, we identified an opportunity for improvement related to performing dosimetry investigation reports.
