From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Barber, Jerry Sent: Monday, June 13, 2011 6:14 PM To: '[email protected]' 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? If so, which type? Area Monitors? Not installed monitors - only temporary Process Monitors? No Accident Monitors? No Does RP sample storm drains (per ANI, for tritium and gamma analysis)? No If so, at what frequency are these samples collected? Does RP obtain soil samples from locations inside the site boundary for gamma analysis? No - Corp based group performs environs sampling If so, at what frequency are these samples collected? 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? Gamma Spectroscopy Equipment No Alpha and beta proportional counters Yes Is RP responsible for the Confined Space Program? No Does RP perform all atmospheric sampling for confined spaces? No Is RP responsible for sluicing secondary resin? No Is RP responsible for sluicing primary resin? No - but is done with heavy RP support/input 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. 2 Unit PWR - staffing numbers are total site 19 Field Techs (16 Sr 3 Jr) 5 Dosimetry Techs (we run the processing lab for TVA) 2 IRP Techs 3 Lead Techs assigned to Technology and Online Work Management Thanks for helping make Powernet work for all of us!!!!!
