After reading some recent reports mentioning ex astronauts now on ground
duties, I wondered if there was some kind of exposure limit for those who
have done long duration flights, at least in the US.

I assume some record of radiation exposure for each is kept??

I've looked for the same info many years ago. I don't remember the source,
but numbers in the tens of Rads on one Apollo flight. Legal limits have
nothing to do with medical reality, only political.
Anyway, the health risks due to launch and landing far exceed any radiation
health risk.
