Subject: Powernet: RP "Non-Core" Responsibilities

I have been asked to compare RP's "non-core" responsibility commitments at our 
site to other sites.  To assist in this effort, I would appreciate answers to 
the following questions:

Does RP calibrate radiation monitors? yes
                If so, which type?
                                Area Monitors? yes
                                Process Monitors? yes
                                Accident Monitors? yes
Does RP sample storm drains (per ANI, for tritium and gamma analysis)? yes
                If so, at what frequency are these samples collected? Semi 
annual
Does RP obtain soil samples from locations inside the site boundary for gamma 
analysis?  yes
                If so, at what frequency are these samples collected? As 
needed......usually 2 or 3 times a year......many sample for spent fuel project
Does RP perform sampling of volumetric materials (oil, soil, concrete, etc.) 
for unconditional release?  yes
Is RP responsible for calibrating/maintaining/daily operability checks for the 
following?  yes
                                Gamma Spectroscopy Equipment  no
                                Alpha and beta proportional counters  yes
Is RP responsible for the Confined Space Program?  yes
                Does RP perform all atmospheric sampling for confined spaces?  
yes
Is RP responsible for sluicing secondary resin?  yes
Is RP responsible for sluicing primary resin?  yes
Is RP responsible for dewatering resin for shipment?  yes
Is RP responsible for packaging radioactive waste casks for shipment?  yes
Do RP technicians manage all day to day dosimetry operations (issue TLDs, 
perform Personnel Exposure Investigations for anomalous ED or TLD readings, 
badge exchange, etc.)?yes

And finally, How many units do you have, and how many RP technicians do you 
have per unit?  Please include all RP technician/equivalents who perform ALARA 
planning, RWPs, Outage Planning, Dosimetry, Instruments, Respiratory 
Protection, Radioactive Waste, Confined Space sampling/permitting no matter 
what organization they report to.
1 unit
22 HP techs

Thanks for helping make Powernet work for all of us!!!!!
