1. V. C. Summer would like to know what kind of in vivo counting protocols your nuclear plant has when you have workers with significant (>10 mrem beta/gamma + alpha) measured internal doses.
2. Do you follow a set counting frequency every time so that the counts can be done by HP Techs without input from a Staff Health Physicist or other qualified technically-qualified individual? 3. If you ever experience significant alpha intakes at your nuclear plant that require you to perform in vitro bioassay (fecal and urine sampling), do you follow a set collection protocol for each sample type that is set up for being run by HP Techs without Staff HP or other technically-qualified individual input? 4. Do you have separate protocols for fecal sampling and urine sampling? 5. If you use urine sampling for in vitro, do you specify 24-hr urine or spot urine?
