Browns Ferry does. In all of our Operations OIs we have implemented hold points and notifications for any evolution they perform that could change the radiological conditions in an area. Radiation Protection has a set of procedures that corresponds with all the Operation's Procedures hold points that define all of the minimum actions that have to be taken by RP prior to signing off the hold point. It was a large undertaking to get this all incorporated in the Operation's procedures and then create the corresponding RP procedures. For a three unit BWR he have a lot of Operations Procedures. With the large turnover of personnel in both RP and Operations it helps capture some of the lessons learned which was previously only tribal knowledge. The trouble is that tribe is getting near retirement age
Before these procedures we had work going on in the moisture separator room at a low power during start up and Operations increased the power and the dose rates in the room went up.

The OE lists the following lessons learned and corrective actions: * Work activity risk management processes must include both online and outage work activities in plant reactor modes 1 and 2. * All Radiation Protection procedures that are implemented with the plant condition of reactor at "power" will be implemented when the reactor is "critical". * Prior to any entry into the bio-shield the Radiation Protection Manager shall ensure there is alignment with Operations, Duty Manager, and Radiation Protection that reactor power is planned to be constant while personnel are inside the bio-shield and the reactor power level is consistent with the conditions briefed. * For emergent and planned entries into the bioshield wall the Duty Manager, Radiation Protection Manager, and Nuclear Shift Manager must be briefed on the ALARA projections and the basis for the estimate (that is, reactor power level). * IAW PLP-511, Radiation Control * Protection Program, all entries inside the bio-shield wall, with the reactor critical will be planned and executed as High Radiological Risk Significant Activity (RRSA). Exelon would like to know: For BWRs, do you have any additional guidance in steam dependent areas that would prevent another event similar to this OE?
