Palo Verde requires individuals to leave their TLDs onsite as they exit the Protected Area (Radiological Restricted Area). This allows for better background control, physical control, and reduces number of TLDs sent thru the x-ray machine when the worker returns to site. We have had this policy in place since day 1. When Security policies regarding site access badges changed (allowed to take home ACAD badge) we devised a drop off and badge storage system.
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of LaFrate, Patrick Sent: Saturday, January 05, 2013 7:21 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Powernet: TLD Take Home Policy survey 1. Does your station require individuals to leave their personnel TLDs onsite upon exiting or do individuals take them home? 2. What are the principle benefits of the policy you have adopted? 3. Have you changed this policy in the past 10 years and, if so, why? 4. For multi-site nuclear fleets, is this policy consistent across your fleet or is it site specific due to operating/radiological conditions (i.e. BWR vs PWR; varying site radiation backgrounds due to operating chemistry regimes, etc.). Thanks in advance for any feedback. I appreciate it.
