Wolf Creek is requesting information for the following questions:

What type of radiation survey software does your site use?  VISIO software, it 
is an in-house developed survey database.

Do you train contract personnel to use this software?  No

Is your radiation survey software required for all surveys performed, or do you 
allow special circumstances to write them by hand? (Excluding the obvious, 
computer system down) During normal plant operating conditions all surveys are 
documented electronically. During outages the mandatory requirement for 
electronic documentation is waived for contract personnel. Depending on the 
individual's computer skills, some contractors adapt quickly to our electronic 
survey maps and are encouraged to document their surveys electronically. It all 
depends on the individuals comfort level.

Are your surveys available for all site personnel to view once the survey is 
complete? Yes, they are used by our planners, engineers, craft supervisors, 
project managers ect..., as an aid to our work planning process.

Please state any future plans you might have regarding survey software changes 
or updates. We are currently evaluating a vendor supplied software package. Our 
VISIO in-house program is susceptible to changes in our IT software support. We 
originally started with a Corel Draw program that was discontinued which 
required us to switch to the VISIO program.
