At Diablo Canyon the technicians are both Chem & RP techs.; so they do all RP activities.

They currently have several new hires and are challenging the time requirements for ARW training. In order to help us determine how we compare to other plants, please respond to the following questions: What "RP" activities do Chemistry Technicians perform at your site? Specifically: Do Chemistry Technicians provide self coverage for collecting samples from radioactive systems? Do Chemistry Technicians dose rate samples (e.g., RCS)? Do Chemistry Technicians transport radioactive material? If yes, what is the threshold dose rate above which they have to be escorted by RP? Do Chemistry Technicians perform some contamination surveys of their work areas? What initial radiological training is provided to Chemistry Technicians in addition to standard Radiation Worker Training (e.g., ARW?)? What continuing radiological training is provided to Chemistry Technicians in addition to standard Radiation Worker training requalification? Thanks, Jerry Barber Lead RC Specialist H.B.
