[powernet] Experience with Liquinox (Alconox) decon agent

2018-02-13 Thread emgoldin
We’re looking for some OE regarding the use of Liquinox (Alconox) brand decontamination agent.  We are seeing some odd results when deconning a spent fuel transfer cask that has a coating of (Carboline) Carboguard 890 epoxy.  The cask is lifted from the pool, deconned successfully to less than

[powernet] TLD exchange question for declared pregnant workers

2018-02-13 Thread Lebda, John T
At Beaver Valley, we would issue a new TLD to a worker declaring pregnancy if their electronic dosimeter measured dose for the wear period exceeds 10 mrem. If their dose is <=10 mrem, we let them keep their current TLD. How do other plants handle a worker's TLD upon declaration of pregnancy? Jo

At D.C. Cook, if significant dose has been received during the period between conception and declaration of the pregnancy, the DLR could be read at the discretion of Health Physicists or Radiation Protection Supervision. Claire Papas Health Physicist Donald C. Cook Nuclear Power Plant (269) 465

At Palo Verde Generating Station, once the female has declared, we have the worker report to Dosimetry to complete a Whole Body Count & issue a new DLR. When she has undeclared, we then do another WBC and a new DLR. Ivy Garry Radiation Protection Tech Palo Verde Generating Station (623)393-3600

At Duke, once the female has declared, we complete a non-passive Whole Body Count & issue a new DLR. We resolve the declaration with a non-passive WBC and a new DLR. We are also just implementing going from a monthly DLR exchange to 6 month exchange for DPWs. Thanks, Kathy L Jonas Sr. Scientist

Here at Susquehanna I've recently revised our procedure to require exchanging the DLR upon declaration. I find this to be particularly helpful in instances where an individual goes into labor and does not return to work before the end of the wear period - this gives the opportunity to have a re
