Michael,

Duke Energy does most calibrations in house by a centralized calibration 
laboratory with a few exceptions.

RP survey instruments (ion chambers, air samplers, GM? All portable survey 
meters are done in house at central calibration laboratory except for neutron 
meters. These are performed by Ludlum Measurements and all records are archived 
by the central calibration laboratory. We also calibrate all 6 sites air 
sampling equipment in house which is done at each site by the central 
calibration laboratory personnel that travel to the sites.
Whole Body counters? Split. Four sites have Canberra calibrate the Whole Body 
Counters and twos sites still doing in house. I believe all are moving to the 
outside contract this year provided by Mirion - Canberra.
Personnel contamination Monitors? Performed in house by center calibration 
laboratory personnel that travel to the 6 sites to perform the work. (Includes 
PM's major repairs and calibrations).
Electronic Dosimeters(SRDs)? Performed in house by a central dosimetry 
laboratory located in the same location as the central calibration laboratory 
for portable instruments.
Low background counters (Tennelecs)? Currently performed in house at each site 
by site personnel. I assume this will remain in house at each site for now.

Duke Energy does not provide calibration services for outside companies except 
for some limited ED/TLD support. I do not know what we charge for these 
services.

Thanks,

Exelon sites use the Exelon Powerlabs facility for portable instrument and ED 
calibrations; I don't know the cost for utilities outside of Exelon to use 
Powerlabs (contact John Moore: 
[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>). We also 
have a service agreement with Canberra which covers Canberra instruments such 
as WBC, PCMs, and Tennelecs.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [powernet] Outsourcing instrument calibration

I would like to see if any Nuclear powered Utility has outsourced the 
calibration of their Instrument program and the Environmental (REMP) programs.  
I know that there is confidentiality associated with vendor cost/charges so if 
these are outsourced by your utility I would appreciate the vendors/contact 
person's name so I could contact them myself.
