There is no pre-defined recurring communication at Cooper Nuclear Station from Senior Management to site employees. Senior Management conducts ALL HANDS Meetings at least quarterly with RP topics discussed as needed, NRC/INPO/Assessment findings or AFIs. Senior Managers, Managers or Supervisors record department specific audio messages that play while each person is in the explosive detector each morning, with 5 RP messages in the last 4 months conveying performance based issues and expectations. We have a Site Radworker Event Free Days Clock on the front page of the site web pages for tracking error free days of all site rad workers and when a reset occurs the Manager morning meeting discusses the issue with the department responsible for the reset talking, not RP. The topics of each Morning Meeting, regardless of clock resets are sent via e-mail to all site workers as the "Operational Focus" with a section titled "Radiological Safety" including PCEs, estimated dose for the week, actual dose from the last 24 hours and the week and estimated and actual YTD dose. Site wide Newsletters via e-mail with RP issues when they occur and RED Letters for RP performance issues as determined by Senior Management. The Admin building has the current CNO signed Letters of the Radiation Protection Policy Statement and Respiratory Protection Policy Statement on display near the entrance, which is outside the Senior Manager area and the RCA Access point. Just a few feet down the hall directly on the center of the wall at eye level is a large monitor specifically for RP information, controlled by the RP department to communicate changes to procedures, dose to date information, Rad significant work, etc. The CNS RP department feels well supported when Senior Management is asked to communicate any issue or expectation via any of these methods.
