1.       Have you seen similar issue with the clips? And if so, how have you 
dealt with the issue? (Please send pictures if you can)

We've been using DMC3000 for close to two years and haven't seen clip failure 
to be a significant issue


2.       Seabrook's practice is to double clip SRDs, using both a strap-clip 
and the integral SRD clip, to help avoid dropped SRD alarms.  How do you have 
your workers clip on the DMC-3000?  (Any pictures of your clipping method would 
be helpful)

We use the standard clip. Typically clipped to lanyard or, if using PCs,  
placed in whirl-pack in PC pocket


3.       Seabrook is applying a 5% (1.05) calibration off-set to the DMC-3000 
(versus a 12% applied to the DMC-2000).  What off set are you applying to the 
DMC-3000 to help match the DLR?

10% bias is standard for Exelon fleet


4.       What has been your overall experience with DMC-3000?

About as good as can be expected for a new device

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [powernet] OE on use of DMC-3000

Seabrook Station just implemented the DMC-3000s and we ran into an issue with 
some clip breakage within the first week. We would be interested in the 
following information that could be provided by sites using DMC-3000s:


1.       Have you seen similar issue with the clips? And if so, how have you 
dealt with the issue? (Please send pictures if you can)


2.       Seabrook's practice is to double clip SRDs, using both a strap-clip 
and the integral SRD clip, to help avoid dropped SRD alarms.  How do you have 
your workers clip on the DMC-3000?  (Any pictures of your clipping method would

3.       Seabrook is applying a 5% (1.05) calibration off-set to the DMC-3000 
(versus a 12% applied to the DMC-2000).  What off set are you applying to the 
DMC-3000 to help match the DLR?
