Prairie Island is looking to ensure we have the best practice relative to our implementation of Efficiency Bulletin 16-13, Perform Self-Briefs for Low Radiological Risk Activities. If you have implemented EB 16-13 then please answer the following:
1. Is self-briefing permitted during high maintenance periods, such as refueling outages? If it is not then answer questions 2-6. Otherwise please answer 6. 2. What level of work activities results in suspending self-briefing? 3. When do you "turn-off" the process and require "normal" contact with RP for all work? E.g., one week before planned outage start; during ISFSI campaigns. 4. When do you reinstate self-briefing? 5. How do you communicate significant changes in radiological conditions in areas normally accessible for self-briefing; e.g. an increased dose rates due to water/resin movement etc. 6. What is done to mitigate the increased potential for radiological events? E.g. additional postings in areas where changes have occurred (crud burst affected); reminders at RCA access of condition changes and the need to check surveys. I appreciate your responses to the above!
