In 2008 Palo Verde requested information on posting and providing radiological information, specifically we asked "do you post dose rates and contamination levels outside of rooms and areas in your RCA or do you utilize some other method to inform radworkers of radiological conditions?
At Palo Verde during non-outage periods we typically post the most recent survey information outside of rooms and areas to inform workers (10CFR19.12); however, due to rapidly changing radiological conditions during outages we suspend this practice and have workers interface directly with RP at various control points to ensure that they have the latest radiological information. Since 2008 we have implemented an electronic survey system that allows all workers to access the latest survey information from any LAN connect computer; however, we still use a non-outage posting strategy that includes using color coded survey maps outside of room to indicate various dose gradients in an area. Palo Verde is looking at this practice and would like to know what other plants do "to properly warn workers of radiological hazards, e.g., posting copies of the most recent survey information, electronic status boards or survey maps, etc. Seth. At Hope Creek we have the maps and information available to the worker at the entry control point. They are required to get the information from the RP tech or ALARA so they can properly fill out their Trip Ticket. Current survey data is available for all areas of the plant at that location.
