Ginna does not have a standard process proceduralized for this; we have handled these situations on a case-by-case basis. They are always a little tricky because the radioactive material can't be detected by standard instruments but you still have to maintain control of all RAM. In the past (excavation of an area with low-level soil contamination) we have required posting as a satellite RCA/RMA and implementing standard RCA controls (RWP, Dosimetry, contamination monitoring upon exit, control of all tools and materials as RAM unless release surveys are conducted, etc). Other situations have been controlled somewhat differently.
Feel free to contact me if you want to discuss specifics, or if you do have a procedure for this, I would love to see it. -Steve Stephen J Holmes, CHP, PE Sr. Plant Health Physicist, CENG-RE Ginna NPP [email protected] 585-771-3577 From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Thursday, July 11, 2013 4:04 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Powernet: RWP exempt Hi All, Do you have anything in your RWP procedures for an area that has very low levels of radiation that a frisker wouldn't see (like .3 pCi/mL Co-60), like RWP-exempt status? Or what kind of controls do you have for areas with that low of activities. Thanks! Amanda L.
