Watts Bar replies:
Hot spots identified during surveys are annotated on survey maps using the radiological object (Hot Spot Label)and additional information is added in a special comments section in the map. The Hot Spot is then added to a Hot Spot tracking program. New Hot Spots are reported to RP Shift Supervisors who contact ALARA. ALARA will decide whether a shielding package is necessary prior to implementing a flush plan. On a monthly basis Shift Supervisors review the Hot Spots and generate Hot Spot Report to be flushed a dedicated engineer who approves the flush plan and submits it to operations.

Hot spots identified during surveys are annotated on survey maps and information is added in a special comments section in the map. Techs add information pertaining to the reporting of new hot spots to leaders and the RP ALARA/Planning group along with a suggested disposition, e.g., flush, shield, or trend the hot spot . The VSDS program can track and trend all identified hot spots and produce reports and graphs. We use this information to coordinate efforts with Operations to flush systems in attempts to remove the hot spot and to report Source Term information per the EPRI source term reduction guidelines.
