I'm performing a quick benchmark to determine efficiencies gained and/or cost savings by allowing entry into the RCA with only an electronic dosimeter. 1. Does your utility allow entry into the RCA with only an electronic dosimeter under certain conditions or for certain types of workers (i.e., no TLD, OSLD)? 2. If so, what are the plant conditions/limitations and or types of workers (i.e., vendors, visitors)? 3. Is the entry recorded into the normal access control system or other means such as manual entry? 4. What are the pros and cons that your utility has seen with this practice? 5. What, if any, regulator or assessor feedback have you received on this practice? Any additional information you may have on this subject is welcome. Thank you.
