Re: [Powernet] HPPOS-189 Transfer of Exempt Quantities of Byproduct Material

We do not do this at Ginna. Oil samples from the RCA are sent to a licensed facility unless they meet the criteria for unrestricted release. Seems like there could be a challenge to validate no "no special nuclear material or byproduct material other than that included in 10CFR71 Schedule B"

We would use an alpha frisker if greater than 100k dpm beta. However, our "high contamination" is about 20 mrad/hr rather than 15 R/hr. Although EPRI would specify alpha counts in this situation, I think you've identified what your real radiological risk would be for this work. Hopefully, you
