Fermi (BWR), refuel floor, CAMs - AMS4's w/ radial head, AMS4 w/ noble gas
head, AMS3, tritium samples with bubbler.  Containment (dry well)  I wish
there was room to put CAMs inside!  (dose rate variances make AMS4 poor
choice)  AMS3 used at dry well equipment hatches, AMS4's w/ radial head
used for work areas outside the dry well, have used AMS3 with tygon has
been used where CAM is needed in high dose rate areas.  Would be nice if
Thermo developed a shielded in-line head for AMS4 (similar to AMS3 detector
assembly) and a sample head for iodine cartridge would have also be nice to
have.

Subject:        Powernet: CTMT Air Activity Monitoring Processes
Sent by:        [email protected]



Millstone currently uses AMS-4 as Continuous Air Monitoring (CMS) to
monitor air activity in our Containment building (CTMT).  CAMs are
typically placed between the reactor cavity and the equipment hatch.
Additional CAMS are mounted on our HEPA 2000 units used to support high
risk S/G work activities.  During fuel movement activities we periodically
collect tritium and noble gas samples using a lapel air bubbler and a
1-liter Marinelli air displacement method, respectively. Millstone is
looking to improve our collection processes and would like to know what
other stations are doing in the following areas:

      1)     Tritium and noble gas detection processes during reactor
      cavity and spent fuel pool (SFP) work activities.

            a.     What technology/collection technique is being used?

            b.     How many tritium and/or noble gas instruments are used
            to monitor the Reactor Cavity or SFP?



      2)      CAM technologies used within containment.

            a.     What technology/collection technique is being used?

            b.     How many CAMs are in CTMT?

            c.     How many CAMs monitor the Reactor Cavity?

            d.     Where are your CAMs typically placed?


Thank you all in advance and appreciate your help!
