What is the purpose of NRC Form 4?

The purpose of NRC Form 4 is to report or document occupational exposure to radiation for individuals who are monitored for radiation exposure as part of a licensed activity. This form is essential for tracking and maintaining records of an employee's radiation doses, ensuring compliance with safety regulations and limits set forth by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

By documenting occupational exposure, NRC Form 4 helps employers and regulatory bodies monitor the health and safety of workers in environments where radiation exposure occurs. Accurate and up-to-date records are critical for assessing long-term exposure effects and ensuring that individual doses remain within acceptable limits to protect their health.

While applying for a radioactive materials license, registering for training, or requesting committee approval are important processes in the realm of radiation safety, they do not pertain to the specific function of NRC Form 4, which is exclusively focused on the documentation of occupational radiation exposure.
