Subject: Powernet: Quick survey on RRA ingress/egress practices


Fermi 2 requests answers to the following.  Thanks in advance!





1)  Does your site have an empty pockets policy for entering the RRA?  No.



2)  Does your site have an empty pockets policy for exiting the RRA?  Yes.



3)  Are RadWorkers allowed to use the SAM when exiting the RRA for personal 
items?  Yes



     - What items are considered personal?  Gloves, note books, radio, etc.  
Personal items used in a contaminated area must be surveyed by HP.  No tools or 
equipment.







4)  Does you site allow personal gloves to be monitored in and out of RRA?  Yes.



     - Who performs the monitoring?  Radiation workers





5)  What restrictions do you place on routine/standard tools entering and 
exiting the RRA?  No hand tools in/out.  Worker’s must use RCA tools for work 
in the RCA.  Specialty tools (test gauges, etc) must be approved by the HP 
Supervisor.





     - Is this delineated in your procedures?  Yes.



6)  Are RP Techs responding to PCM or SAM alarms required to wear rubber 
gloves? No, our procedures direct the technicians to remove the contaminated 
article from monitor using appropriate controls to prevent the possible spread 
of contamination.
