Palo Verde provides the following response:

2010 Site Collective Dose = 113 Rem

RP Department dose = 29.6 Rem

RP Only = 16.5 Rem

Radwaste = 2.3 Rem

Decon staff = 10.8

As you can see, RP dose at Palo Verde is ~25% of total site dose.  Years ago we 
were about 40% or more.  This reduction is primarily due to the use of remote 
monitoring equipment and overall changes in radiological job coverage i.e., the 
tech not being at all work locations all of the time.

Good Morning

Thank you in advance.
