Fermi 2
Does RP calibrate radiation monitors? Yes, all installed process radiation
monitors calibrated by RP, also some functional tests for non-TS/TRM
monitors, also get involved with repairs
If so, which type?
Area Monitors?
Process Monitors?
Accident Monitors?
Does RP sample storm drains (per ANI, for tritium and gamma analysis)? No,
Chemistry function
If so, at what frequency are these samples collected?
Does RP obtain soil samples from locations inside the site boundary for
gamma analysis? Some, also all other environmental sampling
If so, at what frequency are these samples collected?
various, weekly to annual
Does RP perform sampling of volumetric materials (oil, soil, concrete,
etc.) for unconditional release? Sometimes, but we are involved in all the
analysis
Is RP responsible for calibrating/maintaining/daily operability checks for
the following?
Gamma Spectroscopy Equipment Yes (HpGe and
WBC systems)
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? Somewhat, we have
contractor who works with Ops to do that (from plant tank to liner)
Is RP responsible for sluicing primary resin? Somewhat, we have contractor
who works with Ops to do that (from plant tank to liner)
Is RP responsible for dewatering resin for shipment? Same contractor does
this also
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 (TLD processor)
Remote monitoring, all of it, include audio / video repairs, hardware /
software maintenance, run / install associated cables in plant (temporary
and permanent)
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.
BWR single unit (No fleet / corporate support for RP functions)
17 - RP Ops
4 - Dosimetry / Envirnonmental / Respiratory
4 - Instrument
4 - ALARA / RWP / Outage
