For Entergy Plants the Inprocessing Practical Exercise for Radiation Workers, FPF-GET-RWT states:
A. Remove PC's in the following sequence. 1. remove outer shoe covers, heel to toe, inside out. 2. remove rubber gloves, inside out. 3. remove hard hat cover. 4. while holding the hard hat, remove the hood off the back of the head. Place the hard hat back on head. 5. unzip the coveralls, remove the EAD from the Whirl Pak or coverall pocket and place it back on the non-porous lanyard. 6. remove the coveralls from the shoulders and pull the arms through inside out (keeping the outer surface away from the skin and personal clothing). 7. push the coveralls down below the knees and "step" the feet through the coveralls inside out. Remind students that the hard hat should never be placed on the floor, SOP, etc. while removing PC's. 8. turn back to the step-off pad (SOP) and remove inner shoe cover. Step clean foot back onto SOP. Repeat. 9. remove cotton glove liners.

However, one option being considered for the future is to have personnel take the ED out of the whirl pack (after removing outer glove but while still wearing cotton liner) and place on lanyard without setting ED down/placing in tray. This method would eliminate the potential for dosimetry to get crossed up at the CA exit point. Obviously the ED would need to be checked (e.g. by wearing through a PCM) immediately after exiting the CA.

When workers undress / exit the Containment Building CA they place their dosimetry on a tray next w/ frisker to the SOP. For all other contaminated area exits, workers place their dosimetry on the SOP. After area exit, workers pick up their dosimetry and go to the nearest frisker to check for contamination. Workers either go thru a PCM (Containment Building exit) or perform a whole body frisk. In all situations, after exiting a contaminated area all workers are required to exit the RCA thru the PCM and portal monitors Seth ********************************************************************** Seth J.
