South Texas does not document Level 1 PCEs in our CR database unless one of the 
following occurs:


1.       Internal dose is assigned

2.       The PCE occurred in a clean area of the plant

We do have a tracking database (a PCE log) where we enter all personnel 
contaminations, though, which is what we use for tracking and trending these 
events.

I have a question on how your utility is handling level 1 PCEs after the DNP 
initiative EB 16-03 Align Personnel Contamination Event Response to Industry 
Guidance.

Do you document any level 1 PCEs in you corrective action program?

Browns Ferry and TVA has implanted this bulletin and the one thing we are still 
doing that appears to be above the efficiency bulletin is the documentation of 
a condition report for level 1 PCEs that are the result of a human performance 
issue or internal dose assigned.  If it is not human performance or result in 
an internal dose assignment we do not document a condition report
