[Powernet] Looking for Surplus Hand and Foot Monitors

Looking for anyone that switched over to the hand and foot monitors with plastic detectors and have surplus gas ones they would like to get rid of. With the high backgrounds we have at BFN at the areas we need to use them I think we would be better off with the gas detectors. Chuck Creamer Hea

Browns Ferry uses a portable instrument and a sample holder/jig as David suggested below. Our portable alpha meters have a scaler function. Works pretty well and a lot easier to decon the jig than a scaler Chuck Creamer Health Physicist Radiation Protection Tennessee Valley Authority; Browns

Re: [Powernet] How do you count for Alpha when beta-Gamma activity is greater than your limits for count room equipment?

At Browns Ferry we use an Alpha frisker for high activity smears. We have a Plexiglas jig that fits over the smear and holds the probe while the smear is being counted. Does pretty well at keeping the probe from being contaminated and the jig is easily cleaned up after the tech is finished C

Re: [Powernet] How do you count for Alpha when beta-Gamma activity is greater than your limits for count room equipment?

Yes, but we have to do a 10 minute count. The Ludlum alpha frisker that is used has the scaler option and have a Plexiglas jig used to hold the probe. From: Diehl, John Sent: Sunday, October 21, 2018 5:15 PM To: Creamer, Charles E ; powernet@hpspowernet.org Cc: Billings, Dewayne Subject: RE: [

Re: [Powernet] Diving Remote Monitoring

We also used the AWM and active dive antenna. Used the DMC3000 and had great coverage. Did a few weeks of diving in the equipment pit for an EPU outage dryer cut up and works great. Much better than the old iMUX. Was getting 4-8 second response on each dosimeter as compared to 30-40 seconds

Re: [Powernet] Use of DMC3000 with Diving

They worked great at Browns Ferry. Used them the last outage when we cut up our Steam dryer as part of EPU. Used them with the active dive antenna and AWM. That evolution consisted of almost three weeks of diving. The updates much faster than the old system as did not have to deal with the iM

[Powernet] REP Van Controllers

Browns Ferry recently got two new REP vans for use during radiological emergencies and drills. The old vans had room for two players and a controller during drills as it would seat three individuals. The new vans only have two seats which would be used to for the two techs staffing the van.
