Browns Ferry does.  We have to categories in which we track hot spots

 

A.       Category 1 Hot Spots

1.       The hot spot is accessible or a hazard to personnel and is a
contributor to personnel dose for ongoing or scheduled work.  Hot spots
meeting this criteria should be listed as "Category 1" in the Hot Spot
Tracking System.

2.       These hot spots are normally given the priority by ALARA for
the implementation of dose rate reduction methods.

B.       Category 2 Hot Spots

1.       Located in areas which are not easily accessible to personnel
(i.e. located in a LHRA, requiring a ladder or scissors lift or the dose
rates from the hot spot are not the primary contributor to personnel
dose for the area.)  Hot spots meeting this criteria should be listed as
"Category 2" in the Hot Spot Tracking System.

2.       These hot spots are not a contributor to personnel dose and
will be reduced as the schedule allows.  These are normally addressed
after all of the Category 1 hotspots have been resolved.

All, 

San Onofre is benchmarking for Hot Spot tracking. 

Do you track/trend/report inaccessible Hot Spots separately from
accessible Hot Spots?
