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?  No
                If so, which type?
                                Area Monitors?
                                Process Monitors?
                                Accident Monitors?
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
                If so, at what frequency are these samples collected?
Does RP perform sampling of volumetric materials (oil, soil, concrete, etc.) 
for unconditional release? No
Is RP responsible for calibrating/maintaining/daily operability checks for the 
following?
                                Gamma Spectroscopy Equipment  WBC only
                                Alpha and beta proportional counters Yes
Is RP responsible for the Confined Space Program? No
                Does RP perform all atmospheric sampling for confined spaces?
Is RP responsible for sluicing secondary resin? No
Is RP responsible for sluicing primary resin? No
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 PWR Units

Total for both units
33 S&C Techs
5 Dosimetry/Instruments
4 ALARA
4 Radwaste shipping

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