Palo Verde provides the following response: Do you require emergency response personnel in the TSC and OSC to be rad workers?
ERO members are required to maintain all qualifications required for their ERO position. The Emergency Response Training Program indicates qualification requirements for key members of the Emergency Organization. We don't delineate radworker qualification as part of Emergency Plan assignments per se. For example while Operations, RP, and Repair Teams consist of personnel whose regular assignments consist of routine RCA entry, they would necessarily be required to be radworker qualified. However, the OSC and TSC have administrative staff that are required to respond and provide clerical support along with Engineering, Maintenance, and Communicator positions that do not require RCA entry and therefore would not necessarily be required to have Radworker qualifications. They would only be qualified Radworkers if required by their normal or outage work assignments. The only people required to be radworker qualified are those personnel expected to receive > 10% of the occupational limits of 20.1201 are required to qualify as radworkers. We perform habitability monitoring in these facilities and RP would issue dosimetry and monitor dose accordingly if radiological conditions dictated such.
