Ginna performs a radiation survey while the fuel is on the truck, then again as bundles are moved from casks to storage.
These are general radiation surveys, that is, the whole bundle. With all the personnel involved (mechanics, QA, engineering, RP) Ginna picked up 16 mRem as a site during 2009 for its new fuel receipt campaign. Bryan S. Pell R.E.

When you conduct radiation surveys of new fuel as it's unloaded and staged in the plant, how many locations do you survey each bundle? 1. 1 (center of bundle) 2. 3 (center and toward top and bottom) 3. 5 (~ every 2 feet or so) 4. Other As the fuel is loaded into new fuel racks, the general area dose rates do become measurable such that a reduction in survey locations should have a small but measurable personnel dose benefit.
