RP would don latex gloves, remove items and survey each item (direct frisk and smear) then re-monitor through SAM individually. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2011 1:17 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Powernet: Small Article Monitor alarm response question Scenario: A radworker monitored several personnel items in a small article monitor (SAM) and an alarm occurred. None of the items were taken into a contaminated area. He notifies RP and an RP tech responds. Question: What is the RP tech at your plant expected to do? Some possibilities - 1) Re-monitor the items individually using the SAM, and release all items that do not cause an alarm - even if individually, none of them cause an alarm. 2) Hand frisk each item and, if no radioactivity is detected, release the items.
