Palo Verde provides the following response: 1. What are your procedural requirements for radiographers pertaining to record dose dosimeters (RDD)? Radiographers have their own dosimetry in accordance with their Part 34 license.
2. Do your radiographers wear two RDD's during radiography? Yes, they are issued DLR (TLD) and an electronic dosimeter per the RWP. 3. How are control RDD's maintained in the radiography area? Is there any signs, are they locked up, etc? Radiographers maintain control of their dosimetry and plant issued dosimetry is maintained per our procedures. We do not have area controls at the storage site, but we do routine surveys of the area. The camera is locked up and controlled by the radiographers and RP. Custody of radiography sources remains with the radiographer in accordance with their license and custody is not transferred to station RP or ISI personnel; however, RP must provide an escort for movement of the source whenever it is not in storage and RP maintains control of access to the radiography source storage location with a locking device independent of the radiographer's locking device. ********************************************************************** Seth J.

What are your procedural requirements for radiographers pertaining to record dose dosimeters (RDD)? 2. Do your radiographers wear two RDD's during radiography? 3. How are control RDD's maintained in the radiography area? Is there any signs, are they locked up, etc? These questions are being asked by myself for Jason Ianacone, Health Physics Technician here at Wolf Creek. Thanks in advance, Ron Ayers Wolf Creek Burlington, Ks.
