Subject: Powernet: how are PCE's classified?



Good Afternoon,



I would like to know how PCE's are classified at your plants?



i.e.  Is contamination on any type of clothing/coverall counted as a

PCE?  Yes.  If it is something the individual would wear out of the 
radiologically controlled area, it counts.



Is contamination on scrubs counted as a PCE?  yes



Are all instances tracked and recorded as a PCE?  All instances are recorded.  
If the contamination level is greater than 100 counts per minute on a standard 
frisker, it is counted as a PCE.



What instances of contamination on a person or clothing would not

qualify as a PCE?  Less than 100 counts per minute on a standard frisker or 
radon daughters or noble gas even if the count rate exceeds 100 counts per 
minute.



Thanks for your insight
