Duke Energy is requesting information on your sites' practices for calibration 
and optimization of gamma sensitive portal monitors and article monitors.  Duke 
Energy's EnRad Laboratories is beginning the process of standardizing the 
calibration and optimization of our gamma sensitive portal and article monitors 
in our six site, eleven unit nuclear fleet as an initiative following the 
merger of Duke Energy and Progress Energy. We are requesting answers to the 
following questions:


1.     What is your site's calibration source isotope for gamma sensitive 
contamination monitors?

2.     What is your site's gamma sensitive contamination monitor optimization 
source isotope?

3.     What is the basis for the calibration and optimization source isotopes 
selected?

a.     Manufacturer recommendation or other?

4.     Do you use mixed isotope sources for calibration and/or optimization of 
gamma sensitive contamination monitors?
