There is one exit high traffic sop at DB. We normally staff it 24/7 to assist 
workers. During the last outage we didn't have any cases where workers arrived 
to log out w/o their electronic dosimeter.  Can see how  smart turnstiles would 
reduce if not eliminate these type of events.

Subject: Powernet: Benchmark on EDs left at SOPs



A quick benchmark:

What are sites doing to make sure persons exiting high-traffic Contamination 
Areas do not leave their Electronic Dosimeters at the step-off pad or in their 
PCs?

Are sites using engineering controls such as smart turnstiles or swing-arms so 
an ED is required to exit the area (outside the CA)?

EDs are required to log out of the RCA.  An ED left at the CA exit might not be 
discovered until the worker is ready to log out of the RCA.  This means they 
are not monitored by self-reading, alarming dosimeters during transit to exit 
(or until discovery).  Also, the EDs might be mixed up in plant laundry before 
it can be retrieved; their dose history for the that RCA entry would therefore 
be lost.

Your response is appreciated.
